2007 Proof Full Sovereign
I decided to reshoot this coin for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I actually missed the focus on the front edge - just didn't notice. You can see it's soft around the 3 o'clock edge. I simply didn't start the focus stack closer enough, and just didn't notice.
Secondly, I think the back lighting I used to brighten the rim, is a little too bright. It's caused a lot of quite distracting reflection, and if the edge was in focus it would probably glare. I don't want the rim to be brighter than the face, just visible.
The new version is definitely sharper. Quite a different colour also, so I'm wondering if I need to calibrate my lights again to get the white balance retuned.
Anyway, prefer this second version.
