Here are a few that I think turned out pretty well. My set-up and equipment are described here.

I use the BRG Collections set up, and I am constantly working on honing my photography skills. The main difference between mine and his set-up is that I use a Nikon D3100 camera rather than a Cannon. This is a link to a new set I have started with re-imaged coins based on seated feminine national personifications and goddesses.

And here are some of my other finer accomplishments:

This ones cool because of the level of detail macro photography gives for things like die polish.

As you can see I am still trying to figure out Collector's Society's compression scheme by the differing sizes of the photos which were all saved the same by me.

To brg, these are BEAUTIFUL! I especially like the 1919 franc. Great pics as always.

 

And to Gherrmann, while I do like your pics, and they show great detail, I think you should sometimes consider a different color background, especially with coins that are dark or with dark toning. Dark coins kinda get "lost" on black background. The Lincoln penny pic was GREAT, the black background makes the coppery colors pop. But with the 1836 BH I would go for a lighter softer color in the back that would make the beautiful toning show more.

Good job nonetheless!
