I recived my new (used) digital camera today so I have been tacking some snapshots. One coin I took a picture of was a 2001 2p I found in my change and kept it due to the nice tonning. What do you think?

Camera looks good....not sure of toning though

Good pic -- strange toning.

Nice toning. I like it. The pic kind of taken at an angle to avoid reflection. You must have shot with a flash. You should use natural lighting for your macro photography

Thanks for the tips guys, I was thinking of buying a stand. Should I? do they help? Also I think I remember someone mentioning halogen lights are they any good?

There's a few posts/articles on the site that may help with your questions.
