Looking good. A bit underlit but nice.

 

I know, I need to get some better lights. I'm just using two 60W bulbs now. I need to buy some OTT lights soon.

Pretty good. I agree that it's a bit underlit, with some blown highlights, and some soft focus. Still, not bad. When you're really clickin', remember to try and keep the coin rotated properly in the final images. I usually zoom in a bit and use one of the horizontal tools to line up letters or other horizontal features on the coin so that I can see if they're level. If not, I rotate the image. Also, give the composite image a little space between the pictures of the coin so they're not touching. Makes it look a little cleaner. Good work!

It's actually not a composite image. It's 2 separate images. Just hit Enter and add all the space you need :)
