Still trying out the new photo set-up I have, and decided to test it by photographing my Theodahad. Took a few tries but I ended up with what I think is a great photo of it:

Looks pretty good. I'd say if the color and style of the coin looks darn close to in-hand in the photo, you've done well.

Looks like the seller used a lower lighting angle to accentuate shadows on details, but I like your photo much better--it looks more realistic and I'm guessing the colors are more true.

Nice photo.

Well cropped too, presents the coin well and the size blows up good when clicked.

Nice job. Looking forward to more pics!
