[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 930880, member: 17557"]It actually looks pretty good, but the color is a little dark. There is a shadow, (possibly your camera) or something else over some areas of the coin. For my photos, I use two halogen lamps, the necks bend so I can get the lighting just right. There are many different types of lights that can be used. The detail is pretty darn sharp, I assume you are using the Macro focus feature on your camera. Also check your white balance, and adjust it accordingly. None of us know what your coin looks like in hand, so we can't say if it is spot on, but we can critique the photo itself.[/QUOTE]
