There is no Sun here today so I had to use 1 of my Kia lights, which usually was a bust! This time I put the light overhead with not 1 but 2 thick white socks over light and with proper adjustment on my Dyno-Lite I got this pic, which is EXACTLY what the coin looks like in hand. 
Thanks for looking and comments welcome!

Very well done
Consider having the label smaller so as to not distract from nice coin.
Socks? Hmmmm. Great picture btw.

A nice one.
Luster bomb!
The question is what kind of socks?
The thick cotton socks like you wear to play Basketball.
