I used the front of a jewel case for my first experiments.

Just so you you know, it is called co-axial lighting. Lots of info on the web about it too.

Does this work with certified coins?

Will work with slabs but more nit-picky and harder to get the colors as strong.

Ken,

What is the coin resting on behind the proof set cover. Do you have the coin against the cover?

The coin is resting on a piece of black construction paper..Ken

So, a 1X1 piece of wood, cover from a proof set, piece of black construction paper and two pieces of sturdy tape. Am I missing anything? Man I don't know if I could afford a set up like that.

Send me one of your nice quarters, and I'll send you the set-up!..

Ahhhh! I was wonderin' why he used the wimpy tape for that setup. He must have already used up all the duct tape.
