It's a proof 1978 Panama Balboa (I just love the design of these!) and the first pic is taken using the angled shot and make it "round" in Photoshop method ... second pics are taken head-on with a copy stand. Two entirely different effects. I can't decide which I like best. Your input would be appreciated image

    Both shots are superb - great detail in both.

    Great images. The first is a more artistic shot but the second one looks more like the real thing.

    They are both very good and each has it's own merits - the first is a stunning look at the coin details and very artistic the second shows the cameo effect really great -- Good job!

    I prefer the black & white effect of the second, but the other is also nice.
