Great Job. What kind of camera and lighting are you using?

Nice pic and coin.................you did good on both counts.


The pic may be a tad overexposed.

Canon Powershot G6 on a copystand with two Philips 75W Natural Light bulbs at 12:00 and 6:00.

I had to play with the manual white balance and exposure to get these results.

Nice pics.

Do you folks think the color is represented accurately? I know it's a hard question to answer without seeing the coin in hand. I've compared, and on my monitor it looks about right, with the color changing as I tilt it in my hand.

Very Nice lookin coin! and Pic.
Kinda Looks familiar

There is alot of color missing in the shot from shadows and has much more POP! from what I remember.
But it does represent the color

You're right. I can get more vibrant color from "shifting" the coin, but I'm trying to shoot it as straight-on as possible.

I'm going to play with this some more tomorrow and see if I can get more "pop" from it.

The shot needs more even lighting. Exposure looks good. cm

A little dark as others have mentioned but you captured luster and color in the same shot which aint easy to do

ttt for the day crew.

Very nice pic!

Try raising the lights higher above the coin, and then move them around until the coin looks bright in the LCD... you'll get more lustre, more color, and more pop... all in the same shot. The lights should face down and be moved just beyond the edge of the coin so there's no slab reflection.
