Thanks. I won't spend much time with the coin. Appreciate the appreciation of the photos. Finally rigged something that works ok after building photo set-ups and tearing them down, time after time and oh have I had some wonky set-ups. Lighting far from coin and light diffuser ample distance from the 5k temp dollar store light bulb. If this pic being off topic is frowned on, I feel I have my answer and I understand if the thread gets deleted. Thanks again. I may be back later today with an other inquiry on a different potential error.

Yes great pics, but can you please explain what we are looking at in the photo of your set up.

This would make a good discussion in the Coin Photography Forum
to discuss with other photographers.

Very interesting, but somewhat nice setup.
Don't like the angle your camera is on the tripod stand; your coin picture will look askew...
As for me, we'll keep trying until we hopefully get it right, keep perfecting it b2v.

Nice set up! Would be nice if you rotated image so we don't have to tilt our heads LOL.
