How could I forget this one I love the lady on this one:
1955 Reunion Island 5 Francs.
Most of the time I find aluminum struck coins really chewed up but this one was a beautiful example
As far as the lighting and such for the images I am using two 100watt reveal lights which are installed in clamp on desk lamps. One thing I did that I had not done in the past was remove the hoods from the lamps. Removing the hoods makes it easier to get the actual light blubs closer to the coin and camera lens. The closer the better. The rest depended on my white balance, brightness and contrast settings on my camera. I will plead quilty to one aspect when I brought the images from my camera into my photo editing software (paintshop pro 10) I removed a wee bit of digital camera noise from the images. This made them come out very clear
