Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 11/27/2022 09:49 am Can you move the light source further from the coin while keeping the camera where it is? I do this by holding a flashlight at arms length when I take my pics.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 11/27/2022 1:45 pm Try a diffuser anything translucent should work, Milk jug plastic, Kleenex, tissue papers, tracing (onion) paper in front of one of your lamps, try using white sheets of paper to reflect light onto the coin rather than just aiming lamps directly at the coin. Turn off any circle LED lamp around the lens of the scope. They are usually too close and too bright for coin work. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
