Thanks for that. That's basically what I have used in the past other than the wedge shaped wooden block. I have always thought the secret is in the lighting. This is where the angled block will help. I assume you adjust the camera angle as well to ensure it is normal to the coin's surface. I will try that . Many thanks, ozjohn2 points

Not to mention that the coin itself is in really good nick. Jubilee Vic effigies wear terribly.2 points

Haven't posted anything here for a few years, so I'll add a few. Like Sword, I also added a JH 3d. Plus an 1834 threehalfpence.

Yes that's the case, the lens is at the same angle as the block so the coin appears 'flat' and lined up to the lens. This means I can get more light from the lamp.1 point

You all are much much better than me. Cataloging and taking pictures are a very time consuming. What make it worse is my PC broke down months ago, which made me lost pictures as I forget to do a routine backup😭
