 Macro of an 1844 penny.

My wife is amazing. I told her that the challenge was something 100 years old or more and she started pulling stuff out of nowhere; coins, books, who knows what. We had a lot of fun and I think this came out rather well.

That's so cool, though I always thought Abraham Lincoln was on the US penny. ;-)

Great macro. Love the tones, the beaten up surface, the details. The reflection also enhances the shot. Great work.
