Raw Coins - A Joy To Image

I so rarely get to deal with raw coins that I've started to make it a priority to start working with some. I've started simple, and bought some cheaper coins that I'd be comfortable handling and imaging raw. This was a silver Bicentennial set, and a 2017 S Enhanced Uncirculated set, both of which are about $20. Even the cheaper coins provide great opportunities to get images like this, and it was super fun to do.
Today I just had some fun and shot so images, and here are the results. The cent-half shot of the 2017 set is by far my favorite.

I also played a bit with F stops, so here's the original shot but with more of the coins in focus (unfortunately this decreases resolution).

Great shots! The enhanced uncirculated finish is very pleasing.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Those look excellent! I love the look of the Lincoln cent with the enhanced frost
