Just arrived today, what a magnificent piece. The artistry and detail is wonderful, which I could've purchased the gold, this will have to do. I did manage to secure two of these though. FYI, 1/160 ss, f10, iso 100, center weighted, lights at 10 n 2. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend all.

Sweet!
God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️
Really is beautiful.

Nice
Beautiful coin!
Beautiful photography too.

Really like the obverse design, not so much the reverse. But you did a create job of capturing the coin in your photographs.
Beautiful coin.
Learned most if not all of my photography skills right here on the forums. From members messydesk, Bluevette and so many others. The final presentation is important to me and capturing the coin/medal to the best of my ability. Still shooting with my d3100, with a AF Micro Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8 D lens, it has served me well. ss1/160, F10, iso 100, center weighted, lights at roughly 10 n 2, fyi.
Cool
I like both sides very much

It would help others if you used a more informative title.

Very nice! I might suggest using a timer to take the image, as you have a little bit of camera shake on the first image. You should be able to choose between 2 and 10 second timers.
I did use the 2 second timer, maybe bump up my ss. Now that I look at it, it's slightly less clean than the reverse.
I would keep the shutter speed, just try and limit the factors that would move the camera. Back button focus also helps a lot. And of course, don’t accidentally bump the tripod.
