I have owned this coin for a few years and have photographed it many times. I decided to try again last night and finally got it right. Hard to have perfect focus with my setup (the reverse is terrible I know), but I am happy the color came out.

<< <i>Excellent job! The colors look very nice! I really like that shade of blue as well! What kind of equipment/setup are you using? >>
It is a Nikon Coolpix, a terrible excuse for and copy stand ($40 on ebay) and 2 desk lamps with cfl bulbs. I keep telling myself I am going upgrade everything, but then I buy a coin.
Morgansforever you are correct. I will shoot it again. I used the 10 sec delay on the obverse, but got hasty and just pressed the button for the rev.

We all have to start somewhere! I started out with a Samsung point and shoot and when I decided that I wanted to get into photography, I upgraded to the D3100. I bought a cheaper macro lens to start with but I am saving up for a Nikon macro lens that should help produce much sharper images. Your coin looks great though. You may try adding a third light and see what that does for you!

<< <i>Ok P90, no CMOS sensor but still a decent P&S. A mode is where you chose the aperture cam selects the best SS. S mode you chose the shutter speed the cam selects the aperture. M mode is full manual, you choose the SS and aperture. P mode is programmable and you can save shooting settings. What is your ISO set at? Keep it low when there is an abundant amount of light. The P90 allows you to set it at 64, try it then bump it up to 100. >>
I have no idea what my iso is? I always turn it on and shoot. I do have the manual though and I will check it out.
Is the iso the same as setting the white balance? If so I have played with it but it always seems to work best if I let the camera do it on its own.

your images are nice but you need pro images.
that thing is a BEAST!

Yes I agree I need pro images on several coins. It will make a good gift to myself.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization). Your cam allows manual ISO settings, WB I would just go auto for now. Look in the menu for ISO settings it's there.
EDIT: A lower ISO setting produces the least amount of noise when there's plenty of light. Also disable the VR when the cam is mounted to a copy stand, as there's no movement.
I am so pleased with the shots he has sent me so far.
Bob takes ample time to get each picture spot on and then post your images to his website for you to download from. This really makes me feel like my modest collection is something special.
Bob is very easy and professional to work with.
The photos are as close as it gets to in hand viewing with just the right amount of color and luster.
Highly recommended. Here is one example
