On my camera I have a button push to show and edit my video settings, which show contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise reduction. Its part of my camera's operation, I'm not sure if that's on yours or not. In my playback mode, I also have the ability to display every aspect of that setting on the screen as well, which is really helpful. If you check out your advanced properties on windows it should also give you some idea of what you're using. For example: Mine will say "Hard" on both contrast and sharpness cause they're set so high.

Thanks Ray. I have plenty of room to move the lights, and will work on doing that shortly. I have found the lights in that X pattern to be my favorite location as well. I'll update as soon as get new shots with the lights higher up.

A couple shots after being processed, I'm having a little bit of difficulty getting it exact. I used lots of other peoples photos for reference, but still a learning curve itself on processing coins.

I went more towards blue on the first one, which doesn't look as natural.

Went more towards yellow on this one, and I like the results better. Both were un-sharpened, upped the exposure and brightness and dropped the contrast a bit.

Well, the results are pretty much in. This is about roughly as good as I'm going to get, which IMHO isn't too bad considering what I have. Let me know if there's anything else I can do post processing that would be recommended.

Below is a shot of my super high cost, high tech, not ghetto at all setup, with my super powered light diffusers.. ringing in a total cost of 0 dollars!
