CoinWeek Classic: Special Technique for Coin Photography.

J.R. Rollo wrote the book on Mexican Republic 2 escudo gold coins. He has devised a special technique for photographing coins that he shares what he has learned to help other collectors.

This looks like a simple and effective solution, thanks for sharing! I will try to build something similar.

Has anyone who has built this run into problems with reflections from the 45 degree glass showing up in the photo?

If you're like me, and only have a smartphone camera, you can forget about taking clear coin photos, which is frustrating because I might have coins that could be worth more than face value.

A separate video showing how to make the box and an example of the picture would benefit immensely the video. At present the video is rather vague in its explanation. A unique box is not a suitable answer for a potentially large audience.

Nice setup!
Are there any light sources that you might reccommend? (preferably budget)
