A-new-numi New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 10:35 pm Does anyone have a solution or an idea of how I could get better pics of small details of a coin? For example fingers or die cracks inside of letters, so on and so forth? Especially on reflective coins. I've been using my phone and a macro lens attachment. What do some of yall do or use to get the good pics yall post on here? Report this Post to the Staff

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 04/26/2023 08:57 am @A-new-numi, does your microscope take photos? And does it connect directly to a computer (or phone) to upload those photos so that you don't have to take photos of the screen with your phone? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94614 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 09:33 am yep, sunlight is your friend - I won't take any images of my coin when the sun is low in the sky (or at night) It makes a great source of ambient and diffuse lighting.

Spyro Valued Member United Kingdom 375 Posts	Posted 09/02/2023 01:45 am I've fitted the desk lamp in my man-cave with a "daylight bulb" which gives me good results. House lighting is usually very yellow and our eyes get used to it. Daylight is a bit blue and so are these bulbs. Usually available from specialist lighting shops. They're not cheap so don't move the light about much if it's switched on or the filament might just go... All the best! Report this Post to the Staff
