[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3788396, member: 97383"]Sulla80, I love the 2nd photo showing the high relief of the coin :D. I think the 1st photo may have been more successful on a lighter background.

[ATTACH=full]1011704[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1011705[/ATTACH] Sometimes if the object is too dark matte white paper is more suitable like the French silver medal below ;).
