coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 06:09 am Light angle and slight MD is what your seeing. Too low of angle makes the edges of the devices reflective. The light source is better above the coin. Also a secondary light source can create unwanted lighting. How to test for this? Try enclosing your hands around the coin to find light direction, then block it. (Can be as simple as a facial tissue and a piece of tape. Paper, books or anything to prevent the unwanted lighting.

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 11/28/2018 12:50 pm I purchased an ultraviolet hand held flashlight for about $5.00. Every time I suspect and flaw in lettering or dates, the UV light eliminates lighting effects and give you a very good reflective surface of what is actually there and not reflections or color variations.
