Is this a real lamination error?  |

Holy Toledo. Yes, that's a lamination split, and a big one. Keeper.  |

No.I buy a few thousands from a coin store from time to time.I sell them on ebay when work is slow.Not the error coins thought.I'd rather keep them than sell them on ebay for a few bucks. |

Thanks for the image. I added it to my files.  It looked like it had been peel off a bit from the raised area on center. (Not saying that you did this.) |

Love it. I'm going to change things up. I have one light too bright the other not quite bright enough. The 2 sheets of white paper trick, might just work out perfectly.another great tip. Thanks

One question though. Is there a purpose for the red cloth over a box with lamp inside? I'm assuming the box is just setup, so the neck of the lamp won't have to be bent over so far to the base, where the coin would normally be, if it were on a desk?

The dark material is used to reduce glare to areas you don't want to enhance. It is basically a back drop for the images. The box I used to keep the light steady because it is bent to a steep angle. There is even a weight inside the box to steady the goose neck light. This setup is great for full image coins with a macro camera. The micro scope is for closeup shots and full images for the dime and cent coins. The comparison for the full image shots of coins around the center coin give a better picture of what color the coin is. I use BU coins in the outer circle. For proof coins I use an angled ramp to get the right angle for the lighting into the camera. (Just 180 degree different than the setup with the scope.)

Coop. That paper trick was Flippin great. I tried one piece of paper still had a bit too much glare, so I added another. And amazing. Just had to post this, just excited. It is a machine doubled, uncirculated coin. Couldn't hardly see the MD with the glare. Haha but now.  Going to make things a whole lot easier. Thanks |

Most of the things I suggest take little to hardly any money. You are still getting a light source from 6:00 glaring off the tops of the devices. You might have an unwanted secondary light source. Try you set up and put you hands around the north area of you setup. If you find an unwanted light source you can place a curtain with a piece of tape and a facial tissue and to block the light. Then you should even be happier with your images.
