You should probably try using 2 lights sources set at 10 & 2 at a high angle to the coin. I have found that fluorescent lights work well with toned coins. |
If I had two fluorescent lights I would do that in a heartbeat, but unfortunately I only have one (although I do have a "regular" lamp. As to exposure, I cant find how to set that on my camera. I fixed the white balance so I could try again.
