Support Very high resolution and good quality reproduction of a rare coin. -- Yann (talk) 21:12, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Comment Probably deserves the star, but I wish the DoF were slightly longer, to make the entire face of each side of the coin sharper. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:00, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: The size of the coin, and the resolution of the picture should be taken into account. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:19, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I agree, which is why I say it probably deserves the star, but if it had a slightly longer DoF, it would wow me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:11, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
Oppose Quality not enough for a plain subject like this, partially due to front lighting. The difference in size and background of the coins is also detrimental. Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:21, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Alvesgaspar: What do you mean by "The difference in size and background"? This is not front lighting. The light is clearly from the side above the coin. Please note that this is gold, and therefore shiny. Thanks, Yann (talk) 11:59, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- I assumed that the coins were the same size, in which case they should be shown as such. If not, they should at least be aligned in the image. Concerning the grey background, maybe it should be made uniform across the two parts and the stitching line be somehow eliminated. Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:45, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Unifying the aligment is a good idea, if possible. Removing the stitching line seems a nice idea, too, but IMHO it would give the impression that these are two different coins lying side by side. Therefore, if this image shows both sides of one and the same coin, I would not remove the line. --Aristeas (talk) 14:51, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- In that case, I suggest to leave a narrow white stripe between them. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:29, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Alvesgaspar: OK, that's easy. Yann (talk) 15:38, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Alvesgaspar, Aristeas, and Ikan Kekek: I scaled down the left image, and tried to blur the line. It can't be completely removed, unless removing completely the background. And yes, there are 2 sides of the same coin. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:23, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Support Seems deserving to me because it's pretty big and sharp even at 30% of full size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:35, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- Support per Ikan. -- Radomianin (talk) 05:46, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- Support The narrow white space is a good solution. --Aristeas (talk) 07:56, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Weak support Not totally sharp, yes, but you have to be looking really close for that. Daniel Case (talk) 21:27, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
