<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 189768, member: 4552"]For a better photo of the coin you may want to try this. I always tell people coins look clearer if you utilize natural lighting. What I mean is unless your in a snow blizzard right now, take the coin outdoors, place it on a black surface, not in direct sunlight but on a bright day. Natural lighting will be much better for details with digital cameras and extreamly cheaper than light stands, all kinds of lighting fixtures and lamps. If you use something like a black bar-b-que grill's top the dark, black, non glared surface will tend to absorb excess lighting and only the coin will show up. Remember to not use direct sunlight or a highly reflective surface such a car's hood or trunk. If you did use a car make sure it is yours. If you use a grill, make sure no one is cooking at the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
