Many years ago before decent scanners were available, I developed a method to take consistent high def images with my SLR (anyone know that word ?)
Anyway it might still have an application - a pro photographer of jewelry gave me tips
Start with a opaque (not transparent) milk jug and cut off the top & bottom
Cut off the top & bottom
If possible place 2 lamps with 100 or more watt bulbs on the sides
Place the stamp under the jug, the camera on top, focus, use the flash and the result can be amazing
I used it especially for embossed stamps
Simple to repeat with consistent results
A sample from the 80's - you can feel the embossing & depth
OK now you can

Stamps - the bear necessities of life.
