25 Pfennig Pattern

Hi all, This is my first attempt at trying to capture the Pfennigs I recently acquired. Being proof copper they are a real bear trying to get a decent picture. If I try to get the color that actually exists (only Blue and Green) then I lose focus on one edge of the coin. I'll will continue to work with the three I have until I prevail but until then, here is:

Excellent! Pattern. I was hoping mine would arrive today so I'd have the weekend to image them but it looks like Monday will be the day.

Color is looking good from here though! Nice pfennig... good luck with the lights. By the way, I've been most successful with colors when I take a small piece of rubber, (pencil eraser size) and put it underneath the top edge of the coin. The small angle created lets me capture more of the color.
