I got this as Crawford RPM-006 but I was wondering if someone could help me on a cross reference such as wexler, Coppercoins, or Coneca.   |

Dustin, Went through CC and see two maybe three close in location.
Wanted to commend you on your pictures that look so sharp.
But the lighting and or focal points seem to accent the tops of the devices. My old eyes need more info, like whats happening in the field around them. Thanks, Doug.

Doug, thanks for the help, I've narrowed it down to the 17 and the 38, Location is similar on both and I'm having trouble finding markers because it is pretty dark out.

Could you make an image with the full date and mint mark present? That would help to try an overlay or side by side.

Thanks!, I've really been working on my Images with the technique many members here have taught me. I'm glad to know my practice has been paying off

The next thing to work on is the glare. If you could place a curtain of a plastic grocery bag between the light source and the coin, you will notice the glare going away. If you have too much light, you can also use 1 or 2 sheets white paper to reduce the glare. Sometimes even a facial tissue between the light source and the coin will help remove unwanted secondary lighting.

I have been trying to work on my glare but the problem is my light source is the great outdoors, and when I close the blinds it is way too dark, so I put my light near it with a diffuser and it is too light in one spot.

I use a book light for my scope and for full image shots I use a desk lamp with a floresent bulb with two sheets of white bond paper to cut the glare. Scope light:   A setup I used for a smaller scope that I took thousands of images for coppercoins with. Full image illumination setup:  |
