This is a cool effect in my opinion and I have better photos of course. I just think this one view reminds me of an almost religious scene where the lowly flock of bronze coins are blessed to be in presence of a radiant silver! (Worn Bursio Republic Denarius if you are curious.)

I take your point.
What sort of silver coin is it?

Nevertheless, I am always attracted to Roman orichalcum (brass) larger sestertii.
I think that the ancient coin markets is, as well.

lists denarii in VF condition and bronze / brass in F condition.
His valuing reflects this.

It is a very very worn Silver Republic Denarius of Julius Bursio 85 BC, so I just added it to the lot. I regret now I did not take all the left facing coins and have them face the silver and the right facing coins face on the other side. I spend 3 hours a night taking photographs of coins so I often get creative in staging the scene. (I never understand why people take small lots of coins and pile them up as it is much more fun to photograph them all in my opinion. But everyone is different.)
