The coin was not shot stratght on, thats why it appears not round. The position of the light prevented the camera from a straight shot. It is not a proof coin.

Very well done! Good focus and balance. It deserves full marks

This is a nice clear photo, but why isn't the coin round?

Nice detail, but you have alot of negative space that makes it kinda boring.

You couldn't have gotten it any better. I dare anyone to say they could have. Right down to the initials under the neck. Wish the color had been closer to natural, but that might be my monitor. Great 10. PTL

Very nice, it almost appears too sharp. I'm interested how you got the lighting so even. DPz

wow ... the lighting is fantastic

This is a starkly compelling picture, but the dime appears ellipsoid when one would expect it to appear perfectly round. I think that detracts from the overall effect. (Not by much, however.) Is this a proof coin?

I love this photo just for the scale/detail ratio! Excellently done.

Nicely lit. Kaz

And there's the proof (numismatic joke...)

I LIKE YOUR TITLE, AND THIS A REALLY GOOD PICTURE I GIVE U A 8

a bit of a dull subject-but still a good shot-anz

The best coin shot here this wee IMO. Very nice detail. I'm interested to know how you set up the lighting. Jacko 8

More light. Not a bad shot.

I don't like the title (not that that affects the score, just an observation), but this is a really good coin shot. I imagine there'll be quite a few this week, but this is particularly well lit and presented.

Good macro shot. Justine. Bravo
