  Nice! In a year you'll look back and cringe. But I think you're off to a nice start.
  
  Sweet coin!

  Yes, I need a second light. I'm trying 2 different cameras but think neither are good at really close shots. They can't focus any closer than that shot. one is a point and shoot Traveler DC 9900, the other a JVC GR-D870U video camera used to take still shots.
  
  i also need to figure out their white settings

  You're already better than 90% of the eBay sellers out there....

  Practice makes perfect.
  
  Your first shot looks better than many's one hundredth shot.
  
  Best advice is use a steady support and self timed shutter release if possible.

  Many happy BST transactions

  There you go.
  
  It is fun getting started with coin images.
  
  
  I'll second what cheezhed said,

  Pretty good photo for a first time. A lot better than I could manage with a camera...

  I have a tripod. and that was the best of the first 10 or so i took. Like i said, i need to work on the white balance, since my lincoln photo's were very red. I'll post a pic of one of those.
  
  Here it is. The background was white lol.
