I am by no means an expert but increase the lighting and the ISO and I think you will get a better image I think.

Lighting is fine:
ISO is fine:

Increase Aperture to F11, maybe even F16.
This will enhance the Depth of Field which in
turn will allow the focus and sharpness to increase.
(Still pay attention to physical focus)
Shutter speed will be halved at least.

Try a combination of
Aperture F11
Shutter 1/120 - 1/100
or
Aperture F16
Shutter 1/60

Thank you all, I will try with above settings on the weekend...

A bit dark and the details are hard to see But what a lovely coin.
Has to be MS65 at least.

A MS65RD coin would damn near blow your eyes out in the sunshine :yahoo:
Get your lighting right and you should see the full lustre and the "Cartwheel effect" in the image :ok:
Do you have an OTT light?
