Starting Nickles For The First Time! 2019 P Possible DDR?

Where are you seeing it?

Well it is not part of a clash:



If it is a DDR, it would probably be minor.

Try moving you light back just a bit. (I'm not talking feet, just inches. Very slowly.If you are using a scope, try to focus on the fields, not the tops of the devices. focusing on tops of the devices makes the fields out of focus. So focus on the field.

Looks better. It cuts the glare and makes the light and shadow desired look. On the full images you need a diffuse to reduce glare. That way you can get the desired light. For full shots I use a setup like this:



I usually make a circle of other coins around the image to show the true color of the coin:
Scope lighting:


Goose neck lighting:


Other images:









I also use a ramp to angle the light into the scope:

I keep the open end at 6:00 under the scope with the light at 12:00

If the angle needs increase I add a coin or two under the ramp.
I added papers to prevent unwanted light off the coin when using the scope:


(Excuse the dust) Maids month off. LOL
With a wire hanger you can block unwanted light by making a curtain with bending the hanger like this:

Of course the hanger in the image is a plastic one, but it shows the affected better, so use a wire one. Cover the hanger with a plastic grocery bag and tape it on the opened hanger. This is place between a light source that great glare. If you are still having an issue. Thy white paper in place of the plastic.

Can you turn the light off? Then you could get a more user friendly light.
