Looks pretty good. Easier than cropping!

Kind of explains why the old ngc holder is so desireable.
Great suggestion.

Dang, I thought someone was suggesting Black Velvet to improve your photo taking skills! I'd give it a shot
I have made what I call "transfer disks" for folks for 10+ years now. They have astrophotography-quality black velvet on one side, and true grey for white balancing on the other. I call it a "disappearing" background since if you clean it properly, and set your exposure correctly, the background literally disappears as it does for TheGasMan's post above. The background is especially useful for ancients and other non-round coins since cropping is difficult for those.

Nice shots! I wonder how vantablack would look?
