DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 11/03/2025 11:16 pm Ok, been tinkering with a setup and I think I'm getting close. I've always had a heck of a time trying to get toners to look 'in hand'. I picked a toned Jeff proof because I figured the golden hues would prove difficult to capture. I'm using an overhead ring light that slides over my scope lens. I will test some diffusing media in an attempt to knock down the whites (chin line/collar) a bit more. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Moniker Pillar of the Community Sweden 1812 Posts	Posted 11/04/2025 05:16 am I like it alot I have a ringlight but no such great result. Do you use a black box Report this Post to the Staff
DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 11/04/2025 09:10 am Yes Moniker, black box. Right now it is a patchwork of black foam and not entirely covered. Waiting on some light absorbing black velvet that should be in tomorrow. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
