I have a completely new setup. Nikon Z6II, Nikkor Z 105S lens on a copy stand. 3 Lights. What are your thoughts?

I have a Z6i and I love it, replaced a D90 and it gives me more flexibility. Try 2 lights on the Morgan to bring out stronger contrast but the shot is very good. 2 or 3 lights and diffusion is worth a try too, see which set up you like best. Experiment for each type of coin but you have the right equip and will be doing fine. You are getting both the frost and luster already, get job!
Best, SH
Pretty pics.
You have good equipment and good color balance. The focus on your images is a little soft, however, and the reverse on the Saint-Gaudens is dark. Try balancing your shutter speed (should be low) with your f-stop.

Not too bad, but you could use some fine tuning. Try working with some different lighting and play with the exposures and compare the results. One looks over-exposed and the other looks under-exposed. Pictures also looks “out of focus” slightly. Are you using autofocus? Try manual focus. Maybe the sensor is duped with off lighting.
Not bad, but your lighting is too flat.
