Italian coins reimaged through angled glass

I finally got that angled glass technique to work (for anyone who missed it, read up on it here and follow the links!) and boy does it work!! I won't flood the boards with all my reimages (yet!) but here are two of my favorites:
50th Anniversary of the Kingdom of Italy - 10 centesimi, 1911

Union of the Kingdom of Lombardia-Venetia, 15 May 1815 (info here)


A somewhat larger image of the latter, at a better angle to show the die cracks is here.
That's it for now.. I still have trouble toning down the light. Until I get that under control all my silver is just a big bright spot.
edit = Added the medal's obverse, on right.

Did you ever try shooting slabbed coins through angled glass? I have a heck of a time taking decent photos of holdered coins.

Just plain old ...SUPER.

I also use this technique for toned coins, but it's not working with slabbed coins.
