Quote: I hope we have not reached a roadblock. There's no real roadblock. The pic I have (taken with the usual "high diffusion" jansjo lighting) for 1753 is outstandingly poor, and the date is unreadable because of blotchy toning. I was hoping not to post this one, until I can get a better shot. I'll try to reshoot tonight using pseudo-axial lighting, with the Nikon PB-4 tilt/shift bellows, and the 135mm EL-Nikkor. Sometimes this technique can bring out unreadable dates. If that doesn't work, I can post an extreme close-up of the date (100% crop of the existing pic).

Here it is, shot with the 135mm EL-Nikkor, which is probably not optimized very well for 1x (this coin is quite small) -- German States / Brandenburg-Bayreuth -- 1753 1 kreuzer:
