I actually prefer the original setup. IMO, the additional lighting washes out the coin too much. I'm assuming the large cent looks more like the 1st pic as well?

I like the original setup too. The additional lighting makes the coin looked washed out.

The old setup shows more luster.

Thanks everyone! Those were my initial impression as well. The original set up just used two bulbs... the new lighting is two additional LED lights. Also, the coin (and the blue ruler) is more the proper color...
I didn't adjust exposure settings when I switched...

You probably should play around with some of the settings. There are ways to add one or two lights to your already 2 light setup and still show luster.

Old set up way, way better. It shows highlights and shadows.
I also like the first lighting setup better. Great coin, I'll take it, thanks.
