The idea was to have a holder where I could move the coin around w/o sliding it on the surface to center, plus something that would be easy to crop out the background w/ a wizard tool. This was the model: And here is the result: I think I need to make the voids a little bigger - the idea was to be able to grab the coin by the side (wearing gloves). The other goal was to be able to easily crop out the background with a wizard tool, that's going to be dependent on better lighting, etc. But here is how a raw shot will sort of look: -----Burton -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 10:18 pm I designed it through Adobe's 123D and used their partner Shapeways. It cost $10.75, total under $20 including shipping & tax from California. Next time I'll try other options - I basically grew to hate 123D. -----Burton -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
