Too bright? Too much glare? Or ok?

I think that this setting/setup captures detail well and has a good depth of field, but am not sure sure about brightness and color.

I think the coin is a VF by U.S. standards. What about UK? F?

The photos are nice, but is that coin real?

What do you mean?

I'd call the coin Fine and the photo is pretty good as well. Looks real to me.

Details look mushy and the fields a bit rough - makes me wonder if it's a counterfeit. I have no expertise on these at all, just a gut feel of the image.

Nah, looks real to me.


Picture is fine.

Coin is Fine, too, I would say. (By US standards, not by Brit standards).

I do see what you mean about the mushy details, though. I suspect it just circulated that way. A contemporary counterfeit would almost certainly be cruder and fairly obvious. Nobody would have any reason to make a numismatically-sophisticated counterfeit.

Nice coin and good image.

Darker Bronze and all bronze and copper can be hard to capture color, one thing that seems to help me is using the angeled glass tech niques with ligthing directly above the coin......
