[QUOTE="Guilder Pincher, post: 3056085, member: 87595"]My setup is quite primitive actually. I would have preferred to photograph vertically, but as I'm limited by the tripod I made a cardboard stand to hold the coin.

In way of camera settings, I usually use f/16 or f/18 and vary the shutter speed until I'm satisfied with the results. [ATTACH=full]765729[/ATTACH] And to make up for this off-topic hijack, here's another ancient coin of mine that I really like: Aurelian, aurelianus, RIC 290, Serdica mint, 4.02g [ATTACH=full]765731[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]765732[/ATTACH] I really like the late 3rd century reverses with those cartoony sausage-fingered figures on them.[/QUOTE]
