Nice photos I must say. Is it the Nikon D3200? or something to that effect? and also which lens is it?

I think the "woodgrain" one is the most photogenic

yes, those carbon rich planchets can be quite stunning (before the carbon starts to explode!!)

All is good RG, I put all the coins from the roll in saflips and heat sealed the little puppies :dance2:

Thanks for the clarification on the lens if you have a link to one for sale. I'd like to check the specs on it. Never mind I looked over the original post on it.

I (foolishly) bought a big lot of '64 halfpennies a few week-ends ago
and after taking about 310 photographs

i'm over them!!
it was driving me nuts trying to make water spots look less spotty and gloss look more glossy and colour more colourful

No point in trying to make an imperfect coin look perfect via Photoshop.
A coin is what it is and the best you can do is to take an image that looks like the coin "In hand"
The intention of taking an image of a coin is to represent it for what it is "Warts and All" I can't see the point of Fluffing and buffing a coin pic quite honestly.
