Using a two light setup defeats what you are seeing. Why? With a single light you see light and shadows. With two light it removes the shadows and creates false ones around corners. Remove on light and you will probably see what I'm saying. It is probably a normal coin, but the light is deceiving you.

I wasn't using a two light setup the ceiling light was on and my camera has a digital lights around a circle and maybe it was too much lighting so I shut the ceiling off I wish I could do more but I've looked at several other coins with same lighting and they don't show nothing like that

I think you are going to have to do what I did. Block off all but one light on your scope at the 12k position and maybe have to put a filter over that. John1

I use blockers to prevent unwanted light getting to the coin causing the unwanted light issue.   To determine the direction, place you hand in various directions to see where the unwanted light direction is coming. Then tape paper to prevent that light source.

Yall get insulted by "my woman" too easily...in most of the south it basically means wife or girlfriend...if he said my wife or my girlfriend you wouldn't be offended even though they all show "possession" which I assume is why you are offended.. it is common language in the south.

I was completely unaware of the unwanted light scenario. Thank you all for sharing this. It has helped me more times than not!
