You've got to get out of the habit of taking photos while you're holding a coin with your fingers. First, you always want to take each photo from directly overhead. Second, it's bad enough that camera movement may cause blurry photos when you're not using a copy stand or tripod, but by holding the coin in your hand also means that you must contend with movement in, not one, but both hands. Besides, who wants to look at the dirt under your fingernails. Chris
