<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1037089, member: 15445&quot;]Hello Krispy,</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I just invested a bunch of time searching for a good old CT thread descibing how to shoot a photo of a proof coin.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t find it so let me explain a technique here:</p><p><br /></p><p>Begin by taking an 8.5 x 11 piece of semi-transpartent &quot;drafting&quot; paper and turn it into a tube.&nbsp; You then place the tube over the coin and shoot your camera down the tube.&nbsp; Your lights can be directed onto the sides of the tube providing very diffuse lighting onto the surface of the coin.&nbsp; The coin fields will appear black to your camera &amp; the raised devises will be illuminated.&nbsp; The result can be a photo much like Robec&#039;s 1962 ultr cameo half photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry I couldn&#039;t find the earlier post which had photos of this simple set-up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
