Ya'll have seen them. The little LED lights illuminating the music conductors use. I bought a set off ebay for about $6. Three AAA batteries

I had the idea to try them for coin pics. Tell me what you think.

The wire "conduits" aren't that strong. They won't stay in place, so I had to support them with a deck of cards.

Note how you can place the lights right over the coin.

A little straightening and cropping, and voila!

They look small enough to get into some tight spots. Will buy some and give them a try...Ray

Very cool little lights. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who loves the Mexican Peso design. I just picked this one up last week...photos taken with Ott Lights.

Yep. I love those Mexican silver pesos. Unfortunately, I sell them rather rapidly. That 1945 is a personal one, not a particularly rare year. A gift from my Dad, so it's staying in the safe.
