<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3865520, member: 19463"]This confirms what I found when I tried axial ten years ago. Some coins do well with axial; others do not. In this case, I like the axial on the medievals but prefer the old Macrinus. To get true axial, you need to insure that no light falls directly from the bulbs on the coin. Small differences in the glass angle also make a difference. I stopped playing with it when I started using a ringlight either alone or as fill not because it was better but because it was easier to control and seemed to help the same coins that axial did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
