Rob Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Fullarton proof halfpenny in silver on a thin flan by John Milton. An original, not a restrike. 4 Quote

This means I can get more light from the lamp. Just a very quick try with your technique. Coin on a slope with overhead light ( LED mounted in ceiling) and camera on tripod with macro lens and sloped to suit. Seems a reasonable result will try to refine. 2 Quote

I think the black background gives a better result. 3 Quote
