I think I am finally hitting the mark on coin photos (1912 Lincoln inside)

Exactly as the coin appears, no enhancements. Thanks again to all the folks here who give advice on photography. I think I like the 600x600 pic size the best for detail.

Now I just need to reimage all of my proofs

This one is from Angel Dee's:

Very nice, what lighting set up do you use?

Thanks! For these I moved next to a window for natural light, complemented by one OTT light. It seemed to really make the pic accurate as far as what the coin looks like. This coin has very nice surfaces, and some light toning on the obverse portrait. The strike detail is nice on this one also.
