Thanks to SkipC for the Lightroom 2.0 Beta invitation, processed this image
from my new Canon G9 RAW file
iso 80, f7.1 at 1 second exposure;

I'm still getting use to using Lightroom, and working on RAW files as well

Thanks Alan, I found that to be a plus on this coin as well,
helps to bring out the contrast somewhat.

Thanks and yes Skip, a lesson would be welcome!

Well done. Even the background worked out well.

Thanks Anthony, the coin is resting on some black foam and behind that
is a black note book to add to the contrast.
I used a small calling card below to help throw up some light onto the
bottom of the coin, limited space as the camera was quite close to the coin.

Nicely done.
