Pareidolia?

Hello there I have about 20-30 kg of the sort of stuff that was in your pocket in the 1960's. No, not that, I mean bronze coinage. I have been an avid Victorian variety finder for years, and have a nice 20th Century folder, but all these new 20th Century micro varieties are a bit of a grey area. The tub of coins is at my blacksmiths- he wants to make something artistic with them. Before he does this, would anyone out there want to trawl the lot for any of the new varieties that have come to light over the last few years? I know the pile has no obvious useful value coins in it, but as regards new varieties, it is totally unsearched. ( I wish my spelchek didn't keep putting 'unstarched'...) Now I know that the word 'unsearched' on fleabay is often cause for hilarity, but in this case it's true... I'm near Milton Keynes. Regards Blake

When I need to photograph a coin, the lighting needs to be exactly as Brandon said. ( he's put it all rather better and clearer than I could!) However, if you have to photograph a coin, but only have a small cheap camera, like I use, try holding a magnifying glass in front of the lens and see if that works......it can make a big difference- you can get the camera back to a distance it can focus at..
