    Bill, how do you get that white sheen on the coins when you photograph them? I was attempting that result the other day and failed.

    Ah grasshopper. You must play with the exposure and various other settings.image

    I actually flooded the crap out of it with a lot of light and then set my camera up in aperture mode and set the F-stop at 8.0 and used Darkhorses photographing at an angle teqnique.

    Those are just beautiful eagles, and a great job of photographing them! Is it just me or did the engraver take advantage of the larger coin to give the King a bigger double chin? image
