    It would be nice to combine the cameo effect of the first with the colours of the second.

    I personally like the natural look of #3, although the others also have some real nice eye appeal.

    Personally, I like the look of Number 1.

    I went for #2, though if the brightness were cranked up a little, I would probably pick #1.

    I picked #2 because of the uniformity,,,,Number one would have shown better if it were silver. Try a couple shots with a clear bulb instead of a reveal bulb or frosted bulb, no paper

    I have no clue what's going on with the color. I set the camera's white balance for a regular bulb and every picture comes out different. On the Marley gold I was going for the look of the Natura in my sig. Go figure?

    I voted for number 2, number 1 is nice, but 2 is closer to what the coin actually looks like. Oh, and 3 was too reflective.

    Probably not an acceptable answer, but I prefer the lady with the big boobs on the left side of the reverse.

    I still like number 2 the best, but (?) number 4 is great too. Doesn't it come in silver as well?
