I redid yours with a transparent background in png format (JPG's try to smooth out the edges, and we don't want that in this case.) Also, 2 different sizes. Thanks again for contributing. It's really hard for me to do shading and lighting due to my color blindness.

Yeah, if I had thought about it, I would have made it a .png .jpg is just my default output format.

Here's my hack-job:

I used the color from the palette that was directly beneath the main color.

Lol, I just got home, and was about to try the band of light thing, but looks like you beat me to it!

Anyway, it looks good!

~~Half the size for coin and halve the pixel size.~~
Use low-key colours- give it a faded gold look.
Add a bit of shine in a band across them.

Here is the half sized one:

As for giving it a faded gold look, do you think you could pick out a few colors from the palate in my first post for that? I'm colorblind, so I have trouble with faded colors. Sad

I don't know much about licenses. What would be the most free license?

MOST free is Public domain... What you're looking for is probably Creative Commons: http://creativecommons.org/choose/

ok, I think this is the right one: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
But I don't really care if you give me credit. I just don't want people to claim it as their own.

What license? Am I free to use these in my next site?

I don't know much about licenses. What would be the most free license? I don't care what you use them for, and I don't care if you even give me credit. Well, as long as you don't claim it as your own. So not the most free actually.

Thanks, I'll try these suggestions as soon as I can.

I'm trying to make an 8-bit bitcoin. That is, an expanded 16 by 16 pixel image of a bitcoin using only the colors available on the NES. So I have two things I want from you.
1) Suggestions (Mainly on how I should shade with such a limited palate)
2) Feedback on which one(s) you think look best

These are the colors that were available to the NES:
