    This period is not my strong suit and your pictures are dreadful, but I think it is Licinius I with Jupiter reverse. I can't quite make out the mint.

    Most smart phones are capable of capturing images that are more than adequate for ID purposes :). Just make sure the coin is well-lit and that you are not too close (you have to stay outside of the camera's minimum focal length). Steady the camera on something. Try overturning a water glass on the table. Place your cell phone on it so that the camera is of course not blocked by the glass :D. Place the coin on the table. Shoot away.

    most smartphones arent good at taking close ups. You need a cam with manual focus.

    For some reason I read this as "Try overturning a glass of water on the table..." and was confused for a moment and thought you were playing a practical joke! Haha, I thought "that doesn't sound like the usual @TIF" so I reread and low-and-behold I was mistaken... But made me literally LOL!
