John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/15/2020 04:41 am Very good photos. A tad out of focus and a bit of light glare. I see no doubling and the MM looks normal. What is your light source? John1 Edited by John1 12/15/2020 08:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 12/15/2020 05:15 am @John1, thanks for feedback, light source is a 65 W 5000k glass LED bulb, two of them. One lamp light source is AT 2 to 3 o clock pointing down on the coin from above with a white diffuser in front of the bulb this is at a distance of 10 inches from the coin. The second is a hand held light source of the same lamp I used above. This lamp I move by hand and is not stationary. Also covered with a white diffuser fabric. This lamp I move around to focus light on devices that may be doubled. Lamphttps://www.acehardware.com/departm...gclsrc=aw.ds Report this Post to the Staff

I also don't see classic "mirror" doubling caused by lighting but I guess that's the answer to your question. Are you using a diffuser? That can help to even out the shadows and highlights to keep from faking you out. Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
