Trial and error is what I'm still using. Coins are hard to photograph. They're shiny. Hints I can give, look for a macro option on your camera - often a flower icon. Use a tripod or anything that will help hold the camera still. Move the camera as far away from the coin as necessary to get it in focus then crop out the part of the pic that isn't coin. About all I got on camera tips. If you have a scanner, they will work fine for details. Also search cointalk for more hints and tips. ( the search link is found at the top of every cointalk page, below the breadcrumbs.)

Oh, welcome to Cointalk! (my manners suck.)

A suggestion, post the error coins in the error forum where cointalk's error experts are more likely to see them.
