I am trying a new lighting sysytem; what do you think

[trails]

Okay people. I am experimenting with a new lighting system that uses a 360 degree light source which is rated as "daylight". The unique thing about this system is that there is no shadows. Here is the picture that I just did of a 2006 Canadian nickel that has master die doubling.

I would like your honest opinion.

Thanks

Its a nice photo but possibly too nice? Sometimes shadows are more helpful in defining separation lines, maybe if you posted another photo using regular lighting it would be easier for me to make a comparison? Other than that, its a great pic. I bet it would be the way to go on proof coins

BJ,
I would like to see the same lighting, but on a coppercoin...maybe of a known doubled die or RPM. I am interested in seeing how notches and/or separation lines would show up. Other than that, this is a very nice pic.

Okay guys, here are a few more pictures. The 1960 has a very minor RPM and the 1949- S is 1MM-004 I believe.

Looks great BJ. Have you tried using this lighting on trails dies yet? As you know, sometimes the light needs to come from an angle in order to see them.

Nice Canadian BJ!
The coppers are great. I would think that rpm is listable :)... and the 49S is super.
Good work!

Looks great!

Nice and clear. Almost animated or drawn looking. But the anomolies come over crystal clear. I like it.

I like them. I have seen those light adapters availible for my scope and wondered what they would do...now I have a better idea...
