<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 625954, member: 19165&quot;]The second pic captures the luster better, which is very important in a picture of an uncirculated coin. The dark areas are a concern, but this can be alleviated with the use of a second light. Try using a second light, and position it so that it illuminates the dark areas on your current picture. Also, try getting it a little more in focus. I find using macro mode is essential, with manual controls - adjust the fstop, ISO, and whatever else you can change on your camera until you get the perfect picture. When I first started, I would easily take 30 or 40 pics of the same side of a coin, looking for just the right one. Now I usually take 6 or 7 and get one I&#039;m happy with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
