    My coin photo technique seems to be constantly evolving. Here's a shot that I just took of a 2007 Panda, you can see how it is an extension of the later 2008 photo compared to a very brightly lit coin.

    Wow! Amazing! How do you do that?

    How do you avoid the camera showing up on the mirror surface of the coin?

    I'm off axis some. Before I take the shots, I spend a while looking at the coin from various angles to see where I want to shoot it from.

    I'm impressed! Wonderful milky smooth quality and detail. I think you're nailing it Tom

    Do you use a macro lens? Flash?

    So pretty!

    You realise that no one on this forum takes better coin shots than you do TomD !

    Upload some shots of some coin that has circulated in the past ( like Morgans, etc ) and show how it looks.

    I'm a little skinny on circulating stuff, got a few Morgans but have never shot them. I'll dig one out later. I do have some European fractionals and this 1964 quarter that was in pretty good shape.
