    A tad out of focus. What lens are your using?

    That looks quite good, but the real test is copper.

    That's a good lens.

    The picture just looks a little out of focus to me.

    Agreed! I have always found that Copper is the most hardest to capture!

    Thpppppt... cameo proof copper with toning in a plastic slab (or plastic proof set).

    The ability to get good photos out of that seperates the boys and girls from the women and men image

    Your photos are well exposed, but the first one is slightly out of focuse. You are doing very well IMHO...MIke

    Focus on the cent

    Get it without glare

    Get it without a reflection of anything above it

    Get a pic that shows the depth of the mirrors of the fields along with the the frostiness of the devices

    And then get a hold of an older copper cameo that has toning color. Get a picture of that coin that shows all of the above, and have it also show the color on the coin.

    I have to agree, everything looks dead on, just tap the focus a little each direction taking a shot at each position that is close. One of them will be perfect.
