Photograph of a colonial coin

I apologize for burdening everyone with another photograph from my low-powered Elph camera, but if anyone has some suggestions, I'd love to hear them. I am using a copy stand (as recommended by the PCGS boards) and two Reveal lights (also as recommended by the PCGS boards). I recognize that my Elph is limited, particulary in the arena of white balancing. In any case, I took these pictures with the lights about 3 inches above the coin (even with the camera) and facing almost straight down on the coin. When I took the picture, the coin was lying flat. The coin is a PCGS MS62RB, so the color in reality is sort of a reddish muddy brown.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I love your pictures probably as much as I love old copper!

It's a Napoleonic Medal, French from 1804. There are quite a variety of them, many of which are just flat beautiful. Something I recently decided I like after seeing some at a show.

I keep looking, but I can't see Napoleon's accented hair. Am I missing something?
