[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1396245, member: 22585"]Brandon, you nailed it. These are no doubt the most important key points. I completely agree and will say that lighting and positioning is the most important factor for a good image. Cheap cameras will do the trick, but higher quality ones are a lot more forgiving on things like color and luster. I have upgraded my camera, however, here are two pics I took with a camera that costs $70 brand new.

I don't know why, unless that is what they do for a living. Bad coin imaging really does an injustice to your coins. I am a photo-newbie but will share all of my information with everyone as soon as I am confident it works. -greg[/QUOTE]
