90mm is for sure not too big, you just need to move it higher. It's all about angles, as long as you have enough working distance.

Thanks for the feedback silverwolf! Ray, I shot some unedited test shots on the reverse of the coin in question. I do see improvements as I move the light further away. At 4+ inches you can see the dark edge. The farthest I can get is 6 inches, which is about a 1/2" down from the face of my lens, right against my reflection shield. I posted the other images as I get the light closer to the coin in 1" increments, down to about 1.75" which is my 45 degree angle. 6 inches  5 inches  4 inches  3 inches  1.75 inches  Edited by ngs428

You're doing a good job of capturing the differences in character of cameo and other qualities between the proofs!

Thanks jbuck!
Ray, yes, the cameo (or lack there of) on one of these coins was a challenge. Not all devices on a single coin obverse or reverse will have the same level of cameo. My overall goal was to present them as accurately as possible. The type 1 bicentennial was the bear. All these coins are recently slabbed PCGS PR69DCAM. That type 1 was a bit generous with that grade. CAM would have been even a bit on the high side. I tried to give them some character, portraying what they are rather than just a black with cameo.
