    I haven’t run into a problem so far. Here is one of my darker colored coins:

    [​IMG][​IMG]
    RIC Vol. I, NERO, As, Lugdunum, No. 543 (AD 66)
    Obverse: Nero, bare headed facing right
    Inscription clockwise from bottom: IMP NERO CAESAR AVG P MAX TRP P P
    Reverse: Winged Victory, walking left, holding shield inscribed SPQR
    Inscription: S -------- C (left and right)

    You are right, it doesn't get lost in the dark background.

    When there is absolutely no background, just the coin, I think it also looks awesome, as if it is floating, like this one with no background, which I posted in another thread:

    Yes, that floating effect is very nice.
