This is my new acquisition 1913 (NGC MS66RB). I haven't had a lot of experience imaging copper but I used more accurate lighting for this one and it's more true to form to the actual coin. Feedback would be great, on the coin and photography!

Edited to add: I down-sized them a bit.

...so as you can see, I'm no help when it comes to photographing copper.

But I've always been of the opinion that coin pictures CAN be too big. Chop them down a little, and they're easier to look at.

Looks like one light from about 10 o'clock? I think the portrait looks better lit from 12 to 2 range, get more natural shadows on the face. Also adding a second light at around 1 may also help. Just gotta see what works. I think that mostly red copper generally looks best with two lights.

here's another "brown" brother.

I like the photos and the coin. Well exposed and the colors look good.

You should consider straightening the obverse photo. The reverse photo looks just a touch out of focus to my eye.

Hope this helps...Mike

This one is a bit dirty.
