OK... here's the latest and [hopefully] greatest of imaging with a Canon Ti2 and a 100mm Macro lens. I placed a blue ruler this go around to provide contrast and a better feel for the color. It also helped me place coins on the blank white sheet of paper too. I've not edited or cropped the images yet. There are definitely some shadows that still need to be rectified, but no mater the light placement, I seem to get shadows of some sort. Hopefully, the coins will transcend a dilettante's photographic skills. My 1821 is definitely one I'll be replacing... and I'll not be cracking the OGH...I wanted to get to that coin in the date run (I'll also be replacing the 1818 at some point) so I could see how imaging through plastic worked out. As always, thoughts and comments welcome. Best, Leo

Thanks for the great pictures... I am not qualified to give you suggestions on photographic techniques..... If they look like that in hand, then, IMO, they are good pictures. Cheers, RickO
Nice pics.
Copper is my kryptonite... Nice job!

The images I took last night were on an Auto setting... here's the same 1819 with Manual settings and white balance set before the shoot. I cropped the image but didn't manipulate any other settings...
