The protective cover is just the 2x2 coin flip and the dark photos are because thats what we found gives the best photo when taking mirrorish images. Its how I see proofs done all the time on websites.
I could take it in 'normal light' but there would probably be a huge reflection of the camera in the coin. (The setup we have minimizes that by having a black cover around the camera. The section below that next to the coin is vellum so the light is difuse and not spot and there are two 60watt bulbs on either side pointing at a 45ish degree angle.
My dad's a non-paid professional photographer and it took us 3 weeks to find a solution that fit my camera that made a good shot that didnt have a huge reflection of the camera LOL and now its considered not good.
Not clear anymore then what I should or shouldnt be doing to take decent consistent photographs of highly reflective coins.

. I guess I'll just have to not get stuff graded or something. Anything that doesn't need a 2x2 doesn't need graded and anything that needs graded needs a 2x2 and around here if its not in a 2x2 it runs a very real risk of very quickly not needing graded.
