OK - Picture time again - what does everyone think of my latest attempt...

I'm trying to capture detail and toning at the same time - it doesn't seem like I'm quite getting it - any suggestions?

    Frank,

    Capturing toning and detail is tough, real tough. Detail is easy, toning not too difficult, but getting both at once is a bear. Try different angles for the coin. Note this picture:

    I just kept playing with camera angle and lighting position until it worked. Takes time and patience. You'll get it.

    One thing that I'm trying to avoid is getting the glare that shows off the slab - that's tough!

    I'm still at a loss as to how you get those magnificent black and white shots of your proof Kennedy's - but I'll keep trying image
