<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Friar, post: 3271255, member: 76221&quot;]Fun isn&#039;t it?&nbsp; I use a Canon camera 70D and was happy to acquire a 60mm lens fifteen minutes it was posted on Craig&#039;s List.&nbsp; I love it. You are absolutely correct regarding ancients, they are indeed challenging especially high relief items such as some Alexandrian tets.&nbsp; Works on scyphates as well. Have fun with playing around.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found a simple means of working with them.&nbsp; I use a very cheap set of sockets found at a discount hardware outlet.&nbsp; As you may know, they come in different diameters and have large openings to fit the nut or bolt size.&nbsp; I then put Gorilla Tape on the opening, trim it so only the rim of the socket is covered with the tape which protects the surface of the coin you are wanting to photo.&nbsp; It&#039;s such a simple solution as you have the obverse image in the hole, so no leaning of the coin. Sorry, but I don&#039;t have a photo of one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
