[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1664390, member: 22585"]I agree that you are on the right track. In fact, they look pretty darn good to me. Some adjustments in software will handle the white balance issue. As far as the blurry issue: Be sure to set your camera setting for "metering" to "centered". That might help. Here are my two cents: -Back those lights off just [B]slightly [/B]so they are not shining on the coin/rims. -Give the slab a polish over the area of the coin. This can make quite a difference and will help remove glare. Remember to polish in the same direction as the light. So in your case, polish from 12 to 6. -Do some small, post editing adjustments. Not sure what the accurate color is for your coin, but I think these look pretty good (aside from the light glare, which is solved by moving them away a little bit). I did some very minor adjustments. When shooting through slabs, the first thing that needs to be adjusted in post editing is the contrast.
