Very nice! What adjustments need to be made if the coin/medal is in a slab?  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Handheld spotlights still have the concave mirror. Harbor Freight has one for $50 https://www.harborfreight.com/light...t-59224.htmlI don't mean to disparage Bobby, but... I'm curious what application is this for? I took an edge shot of a quarter and see a ton more detail although I only get a small percentage of the rim. I also wonder about imperfections in the reflector affecting the image.  Edited by mike31093

My first thought is for edge lettering, like on the small dollars.

Very impressive, Bobby and pietrz! Any chance you could do a lettered edge coin?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Unfortunately not.
Taking photos of the edges takes a lot of time, I have to change the lighting.
That's why I don't take these photos now.
Maybe when I retire I will have more time and I will come back to it.

Are the letters upside down and backwards?

If I was more technologically advanced, I'd be able to split the edge image away from the central face and get them both readable... "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
