Couple of my Britannias to share

I don't post photos here often, mainly because although I enjoy darkside material, I don't own a lot - although I plan on changing that as my meagre finances permit. Anyway, one of my main collecting goals is to assemble a set of PCGS/NGC MS69 silver britannias (much easier said than done, I might add). I've been slowly plugging away at it as coins have become available and I thought I'd share a couple of my latest acquisitions. One is a 2006 PCGS MS69 I finally was able to purchase this week. The other is a 2007 NGC PF69UCAM I got myself as a Christmas present last December. (Although I don't strictly collect the proofs, I do rarely pick one up if I don't stop myself.)
The 2006 is the latest victim - ahem - subject of my early attempts at axial photography, while the 2007 got the standard treatment. Neither has been enhanced by photoshop or anything like that. I'm reimaging all of my britannias as time permits, so I may eventually share the whole kit and kaboodle. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
P.S. I'm still looking for the 1998, 2003, 2007, and 2008 in NGC or PCGS MS69 - help me out if you've got one.

<< <i>I really like the way your axial lighting setup works on the proofs. >>
Thanks, guys
Oh, just to clarify, the first coin is reverse proof-like, but is a MS coin. That one was photographed using axial lighting.
The second coin is a true proof, and was photographed using standard lighting techniques.
