Looks good. You may be right it could benefit a 3rd light. But beautiful work.

Two thoughts: first, you're on the right track. This is a very creditable image. Keep playing and you'll turn it into gallery-quality. Second, that is, I believe, the most beautiful Peace dollar I've ever seen! I don't care about the small surface issues that knocked it down to 64 because all big coins have marks on them (I say this as a half-dime specialist). But that toning and luster are gorgeous!

  Bikergeek Thanks, it is something else. the luster just looks like melting butter and any imperfections are lost in the water. I almost never see toning on Peace Dollars so this one was just a keeper. The old Gen 5.0 NGC holder adds a little to the mystic of the coin as well.

Partially the old fatty NGC holder, coin does not sit quite even.

  ToddPollock yeah, they are right up pushing against the lens, just somehow with this coin I'm having trouble lighting everything. thinking I might need to get a third light. Lens and lights are a good 2 feet above the coin.
  
  I'll try a few more things and post back if I finally nail it.
