Numiosmatic greetings. Due to the poorly taken photographs, they sent me to this forum to do the homework. he he.
I made a rudimentary light box with an LED lamp that I had unoccupied, it is yellow.

Take additional photographs by placing the coin face up on the flat area. I would like to know if I am on the right track? Thank you.

Pretty good ingenuity on display @gam and I think that you are def on the right track. One recommendation that I have is to try to even out those overly bright areas by diffusing the LEDs, e.g. through a piece of tissue paper.

Thanks Spence.
Following your advice, I placed white plastic on it, I think it is for party decoration, I couldn't find tissue paper, to diffuse the bright areas. attached photographs. And I'm going to try to place my phone on a tripod that I have to make the photographic shots more stable. Greetings.
I am attaching several photographs to see if they can help me in telling me which one is the most correct for the grading request. thank you.

Seems like continued progress to me, but I'm hoping that some of our photography experts will weigh in soon. My personal preference is for your straight-on shots as the depth of field is narrow enough that some parts of the tilted coins are out of focus.

A couple of the pictures were more "pleasant" to my eye (more natural silver color) and I'm not enamored with what seems to be the "gold tone" result.
