<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 800694, member: 17555&quot;]That is very similar to the look of the 13 in hand.&nbsp; I use my wifes big as&amp; diffused lighting she purchased to go along with the $1,500 camera I got her for xmas a few years ago... I use that camera too (a cannon something or other, 14 or 16 mega pixel).&nbsp; Anyway, the lighting is the same that you see if you go get your portrate taken, a stand with a big light and a white umbrella diffuser... I put the coin on a chair and poing the umbrella down at it and bring it down to around 1-2&quot; away from the coin,, I think it really works well for ensuring all details come out in a coin, but I think the immense flood of diffused light actually cuts through alot of the tone on coppers.&nbsp;&nbsp; For silvers this process does not work at all, you just wind up with a white dot... I have to back the light off to around 4-6&quot; feet depending on luster of the coin.&nbsp; Still, diffused light is the best light to date that I&#039;ve used to get any resolution on tone in my coins,, although I am now wondering if metal-hyl would be even better at showing both tone and luster...</p><p>That 09 is pretty, I&#039;d live to put a set of these deep blues together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
