Lincoln Pic's/Presentation

Had the day off and always shoot some coins when I'm not working. Most folks probably like just the coin. I figured I'd try something a little different and get some opinions from the forum. Let me know what ya think. Not looking for "Happy Talk" either.image

    Nice pictures of nice Lincolns, Lee! Those RB's look more red than brown!

    And that's not happy talk. image

    Boy when you said you were moving from the commems into copper, you weren't kidding.

    Really nice Lincolns; love the colors.

    You can do better.

    From the looks of it you have one light at the top and one at the bottom -- and the result is too much light in some areas and not enough in others. Try moving the bottom light to 3 or 9 o'clock and making it farther away than the other light.

    That being said, for Lincolns, I've found 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock (one close, one farther) are the best positions for the lights to bring out the luster...Mike
