Thank you guys. I learned everything on the CU forum really just in the last 6 months that I know about taking pictures. My setup is pretty basic, a 30 dollar copy stand, 2 clamp lights and one desk light with reveal bulbs, and a used Nikon 995 I got off ebay for about 200 dollars. For proofs, I use a cut up milk gallon jug to diffuse the lighting usually. This link HERE has a pictorial of my setup on the second page of the thread.

The templates I use are a slight variation from spacemonkeys, which can be found
HERE . I could never get them to look exactly like everyone else for some reason, so I just changed the reverse on the bottom to "hard light" instead of "overlay" to get the effect I use.

Feel free to PM me if you get stuck on something. I use photoshop elements 6.0, and have only had it since Christmas, so I am not by any means an expert in that. Here is another Cuban coin I got last week....



and a few types I just picked up also, still have a long way to go on these....
