Have not posted in a while, thought this might be an opportunity to become a regular again. I finally went out and bought a copy stand to improve the quality of my coin pictures. What do you think of the new photo? The coins are also a recent pick ups.

I think it's an outstanding pic. Nice presentation too.
Looking forward to more.

I seem to prefer lighting to shine on the FACE of any coin. Yours seem to be doing this. I like to light a Lincoln cent from 2 oclock and have the front of Lincolns face as a focal point. The same lighting puts a shadow on an indian cents face and makes it too dark. Doing some of both is good but I emphasize the face when I can. Great work!
To be picky...I would brighten them up a little. They look underexposed. Focus could be a little crisper. And there's a little too much blue to them, especially the '79. Maybe a white balance temperature tweak.
