<p>[QUOTE="Eric Babula, post: 26010389, member: 85976"]John, thanks for chiming in. I still like the black background, also. But, Denis Richard has shown there's some merit to the light grey background with text(ure) behind the coin and a slight shadow to provide some depth. Also, I love his angled, almost 3-D images that he showed, above. But, for me, that would be too much effort. I want to get it down to a system: shoot both sides of the coin (maybe 2-4 shots each side), quick post-processing to make it look like the coin in hand, plop both sides of the coin and the label on a standard template background (so all coins are presented the same), and move onto the next.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've seen some of your coin shots over the years, even back in RCC days (early 2000s).
