More toned shots with the new Ott

Doing some more playing. Really liking the results on raw coins. Really hating trying to shoot slabs. They suck. 
First another coin that I picked up at the show last weekend. Ceylon 5 Cents, 1870. NGC MS62BN. Yeah, it's got a rather ugly hit over Victoria's eyebrow, but I just never see these in mint state, so I picked it up anyway. It's nice large copper, a bit larger than a U.S. half dollar.
These next coins really aren't worth diddly squat. I picked them up this afternoon out of the local dealers 3-for-a-buck box. I just liked the toning.
They're both the same coin -- Mexico 5 Cents, 1945.

What is OTT?
Those Mexican 5 centavos coins are really nicely toned - great pictures.
Shep
I think the Daylight brand is about the same spectrum and half the price for the bulbs, usually. They do fit the OTT lamp fixture's socket.
PS, Nice colors on those coppers, CP.
