<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 870994, member: 7638"]Some examples of photos taken with my under 20$ axial lighting setup. I got tired of struggling to get images of copper that were lifeless. It can also capture thin layers of iridescence on worn silver, as well. Imaging coins in slabs has been inconsistent for me, so these are all raw coins. No adjustments made to color or brightness. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/HTTMyVictoryobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/HTTMyVictoryrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/IHC1879obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/IHC1879rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/LSQ1845obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/LSQ1845rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/Lgcent1811obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Axial%20Coin%20Images/Lgcent1811rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The HTT was probably treated with MS70-- neat color, but will never slab!
