Luminescent Gold! That's some fine Gold there! :)
However, maybe a camera crop (i.e. second tighter shot) above & below the wall hanging while losing the door & keeping the darker area & golden highlights in higher resolution would most likely have helped your scores. (Just a little friendly advice learned through the harsh reality of my own low scores earned at DPC.)

Remember When

Any back story on the markings above "In God We Trust"? It appears to be "1960" or "196C" & "1980". This, of course, makes a potential of three dates on the same coin which is a bit confusing, but certainly not your fault!
"In God We Trust" is a great reminder every time I read it in print. However, the fact that it is such an innocuous statement of faith that I am truly amazed when someone is offended by it. When you think about it, every human has a god, even an atheist.
God is truly the highest value in a human heart, and the purpose for which every individual finds meaning & defines a successful life. Most would consider God quite ethereal. However, I would humbly submit that the atheist's god is quite corporeal. (Just a thought!) :)

"Honey, there was a blizzard last night! So, if you would be kind enough to chip me out of this snowbank, I will be more than happy to lose my 'frigid' reputation! Care to...warm...me...up?" ROFL!!!!
I'm taking a chance that you have a good sense of humor because this is a very fine rendering of golden skin tones. However, the disembodied head appears a little humorous to me. :)

GOLD !

Hit the Mother Lode, did we? Impressive!!!! As a personal preference, the high yellow areas are a bit HOT & somewhat "cartoonish." I'm thinking that magic wand tool on a hot yellow + similar to collect all these areas + tone down the brightness would have made the photo a little more realistic & attractive to me. (This was in a museum under glass, right?)
