<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8168787, member: 110350&quot;]I took the three photos I posted last night under artificial lighting. I tried again today in natural light, on a windowsill, re-photographing the first three coins and also trying to photograph the rest.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see a great deal of difference, but perhaps this set of photos is a little better? (Opinions are welcome!)</p><p><br /></p><p>(See the more detailed descriptions of the coins in my comment on page 6 of this thread.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan/Mars:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1426704[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Trajan/Dac Cap [Not all that much easier to capture even under natural light!]:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1426705[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Sabina tetradrachm from Roman Alexandria, with Sabina seated on reverse:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1426706[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Antoninus Pius tetradrachm from Roman Alexandria with Canopus of Osiris on reverse [The green spot at the top of A.
