<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3620059, member: 19463"]Certainly! While there is nothing wrong with your image of this exceptional coin as it is, this might be a place to try shooting with the coin at a slight angle to the camera rather than flat on. When we look at a coin 'in hand' we wiggle it and see the play of light reflecting from its surfaces. There is a place in photography for work above and beyond the passport. I own very few coins that benefit from this idea and it has little to do with the grade of the coin. My favorite is below.</p><p><img src="https://pbase.com/dougsmit/image/159751358.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
