coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2014 12:46 pm On doubled dies I take them with the light falling over the devices and not usually with the light hitting directly on the devices. Also a good diffuser works better. It cuts the glare. Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 08/31/2014 3:26 pm Do you agree it doubled die? here is another photo test I covered all led on usb camera and put a ziplock bag over a usb led light. I will keep trying different things, I really want to share some more nickel DDO and DDR. This one I covered with white plastic bag over led and in image optimizer I turned black and white well back to the drawing board.. I might need to upgrade my low budget setup..

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2014 11:52 pm It is a doubled die. Which number? There are many listed for the proof nickels that year. On of the years I buy rolls of proof coins to see what I can find. See how much better the images turned out with the diffuser? Tip of the day: When taking images of copper coins, it is easy to get the nice golden color. But on other denominations of coins the gold look may not be what you want. So I reuse the "Saturation" feature on photo shop to reduce the unwanted color. You can also use the "Mode" Selection and choose gray scale. That will turn the image into a black and white image. But I choose to reduce the hue to remove a little of the color. That warmth is nicer than the black/white color you get with gray scale.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2014 1:39 pm A great image is always nice to have. Diffusing is not an expensive process. Even a curtain of a plastic grocery bag does miracles. If you have a stronger light, then try rice paper, tracing paper, white bond paper. In one setup I use, it requires two sheets to cut the glare. Keep in mind these next two images are taken through the original packing material: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...H1982D_2.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...H1982D_3.jpg Proof coins https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...963_PR_2.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...963_PR_3.jpg in 2X2's https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...963_PR_4.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...963_PR_5.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2014 1:44 pm Photo editing is also an art. Note the images from another site. How I edited his image and helped improve the look to the coin. Here is one I removed the gold color from the image on 1/2 if the coin to show the difference: Report this Post to the Staff
