truman1404 Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 08/14/2017 12:44 pm I'm having a hard time dealing with glare on new shield cents. Does anyone have a method that smooths out that glare on new coins when looking through a loupe or magnifying glass? Thanks Mitch Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/14/2017 12:53 pm What is your light source? If the bulb is too strong you can get un-needed glare. If you need the light power, then you might want to create a diffusion blocker to remove unwanted glare. If the bulb is hot, make sure that the paper doesn't touch it and cause a fire.

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 08/20/2017 12:38 pm Never thought of wax paper, good idea. I agree the pain my eyes suffer trying to search the shields is pretty much not worth it. Horrible glare and practically impossible to get good pictures. I am will to try anything :) Report this Post to the Staff
paveltul Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 08/21/2017 11:49 am If you are trying to take pictures, it might be better to turn of the light and just go with the flash on your device, or LED light from a microsope. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/21/2017 6:17 pm Flash is too strong. For micro images, a single light source is better. If you have a LED with multiple lights, then it removes the light and shadow that makes for better images. Report this Post to the Staff
