Both are commemorative dollar coins. And more importantly, I'm now the proud owner of a light tent--this is the first picture!

Congratulation on acquiring your light tent, Ken! If this is a sample of your work, I am sure we will be enthralled with your future images.
This is a really delightful capture.

  Wow--this I like! Great composition, color and detail. I love the selective focus on the flat coin--almost a reflective effect. What's a light tent :) ?

  Good job with it Ken. And more importantly, it's nice to hear you call it a light tent instead of a light gizmo finally.

  I didn't realize this was a light tent shot---I'm considering one myself; would love to hear your experiences/recommendations (or anyone else on the this thread, who is using one.)
