And Another New Acquisition

Here's my latest goodie.
Got it on eBay.
Capped Bust half dimes are a Level 2 collection for me (mid priority).

I finally got out of the coin budget hole so I can spend a bit now.
Trouble is, I seem to be able to spend it faster than I can earn it.

 

How do you get such professional pictures? :bigeyes:

 

My digital camera is only 3.2 Mpixels.
But it does have macro capability.
It's a Nikon Coolpix 995.
And I use 2 lights, both OTT-LITEs with "white" light bulbs (very close to sunlight).

But I also think the black background helps the images.

I circular crop the images, then paste them onto a white background (Paint Shop Pro).
Then I flood the background with black, size it, and finally put the border on.
The border is color keyed to the 4 coin metals.

Now that I'm a bit practiced with the procedure I can do about 4 coins an hour.

 

Pretty coin with a lot of detail! Nice job on the photos.
