But as the daughter of a father with a degree in metallurgy, I grew up being told about and shown metal techniques. I agree that from these pictures the coin looks cast, rather than struck. That may be different when you see it in real life. To me the examples you found look struck.</p><p>The coin can be photographed with better focus and detail against a white background, so you have more reflection of the light. That really helps when photographing small items.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
