I didn't understand everything. Can anybody tell in simply English, step by step, how to make photo with white background of proof coin and how to make photo with black background of proof coin?

It's all in the lighting angle. With the coin slightly to one side of direct bounce into the light the background goes white. Either tilt the coin or the light a little further away from direct and the background goes black.
You can sort of see the effect by holding the coin in your hand and using the light on the ceiling. Find a direct reflection and tilt the coin just slightly away from direct light. The background looks white. Tilt the coin a little more and it goes darker.

Zoomed out wide so you can get perspective on what I'm doing. Even included some fingers.  All I've done between these two shots is tilted the angle of the coin a little. It only takes the tiniest amount. The light is fixed (fluro on the ceiling), the camera is fixed on a copy stand. Bumped the ISO up so I don't get camera blur since I was holding the coin. You can get the same effect by shifting the position of the light while camera and coin are fixed. Image:  proof_darkj.jpg28.05 KB Image: proof_lightj.jpg28.38 KB |

Yeah, he started off with a drawing of what he wanted and didn't stop until he achieved the effect. Well done. Nice results too!.
