Sales posts are welcome. Inspired by the old ancientcoins subreddit, memes and jokes are only allowed on the last day of the month.
I general, just be nice to each other :)

It's been a few years since I did, I never really got it right with lighting I feel. I'm thinning out my collection anyway, but at some point I will take new pictures of my remaining coins and try and relearn or improve my skills.
Iirc, there's no real catch-all trick to it. Each coin requires unique lighting and so on, plus editing. Shiny coins are especially tricky, this one is quite dull.
