Test with a ring light - 1918S Georgeous George Got a little 4" ring light today, so I've been giving it a tryout.  I think we really need it to be a bit further away from the coin.

And now, moving the camera and light away to reduce the incident angle.  This illuminates the coin better and makes it look a bit less ghostly, but with the macro lens the phone won't focus at this distance.  This one will really need a proper camera, i suspect.

In related news, I now have way too much photographic equipment and not enough sovereigns.

I have a ring light i used for a bit but took it off eventually... - the images always seemed to look a bit 'textbook' ish..  Nowadays I use get this..... a WORX light (the torch style one) with the wand pulled out on the second setting.. with the light pointing up away from the coin at an angle haha - seems to be better than all my fixed equipment...

stick it in the jig in my vice will come out cushty

$21.32

Same here. Was getting tired of waiting. There is a chance I will miss the postman tomorrow sadly. 

Luckily my posty signs for all my stuff and does hide and seek with it in the garden - just costs a 4 pack of bud now and then

Yup - apparently 'Your order is on its way'   Hopefully they send me the right thing

well i just got a 'despatch' notification from RM for my 4 coin set - so maybe they have listened to everyone and employed more sheep
