[QUOTE="Egry, post: 4646187, member: 113686"]I’ve notice this issue especially with Greek coins, the level plane is very difficult to achieve due to the relief, and a small change in angle or slightly different light direction will greatly alter the shading and colour of the image. I was thinking of making a plate where the coin is placed, which would have a level bubble, that way you could adjust the plane of the coin to suit the relief. Then the plane of the camera could be adjusted so that the tripod bubble matches the coin platform bubble. Then camera and coin would be on the exact same plane. I could see how the putty would help.
