  2. The black background adds to the irony of the "peace" token, seeing that the reverse has a military camouflage toning. Pretty cool.

  I saw this same set at a shop the other day, and the Jefferson medal was turning purple.
  May go back and scoop it up.

  Black background looks way better... The white has an unfinished look to me... That`s cool how you have the reflection of the medal at the base... Cool piece!

  and interestingly enough the black does justice to both side of it.

  I strongly prefer the white background. It looks cleaner and classier.

  I think the white background.....for this particular medal looks classier.......but that me
  Maybe if I cropped the white so all the white would not be so much?

  7 for black, 5 for white. What's your opinion, Stefanie?

  I hate to be the odd ball here but I like the white for the handshake and the black for the bust of Jefferson. Pressed to choose only one..........I'd go with the black.

  It might be that Jefferson is to bright, I'm going to check it out, I have another image...just a tad darker,
  just enough I think to make a difference.
  
  btw, I was thinking that too

  Hmmmm... I`m thinking I was wrong about the border thing now that I see it... But since you darkened the one side of the medal a bit the white background is growing on me... Nah! I still like the black... Just me
