    Very nice image. I like both, but I really like the coronation piece image - Preussen

    Do they have some blue toning? or is that just the image? Nice medals.

    What are they made out of? It looks like some of the porcelain notgeld tokens that I have. Great details on them both image

    The blue toning is apparently an effect of my macro light.
    These are bronze medals.

    Is that Macro light one of those with 8 little blue leds around the lens? I wondered what colors it would produce.

    Try two reveal bulbs with the 45 degree glass trick, and you will be surprized at just how good an image can be.
