Vince was "Spot On". I've used Clear Image a number of times and they do a fantastic job. I will re-iterate Vince's comments on the requirements of material presented for embedding. There are no "short cuts" or "cheats", chemicals do what they do. If you want a quality finished product, you must pay attention to the material requirements.
To quality products,

I would recommend Clear Image out of Phoenix, Arizona. We have partnered with them many times on coins. One thing to think about is that the coin should be made of brass and not zinc. It also should have a cloisonné or imitation hard enamel color and not soft enamel. The soft enamel may ripple or peel out from the heat when embedded. Zinc does not embed as nice as brass and it will have a shadow effect around the top of the coin.
clear Image can be reached at this number.
