[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 24691281, member: 102022"]Taking good close up photos of a coin can be daunting. Practice different techniques. Question 1, do you physically hold the camera/phone in your hands while taking the picture? If yes, that's the first change you should make. Place the coin on a stable surface. Place the phone with the lens overhanging a solid stationary support above the coin. Set the timer. Don't touch the phone or coin. Let the stabilized phone capture the picture with no shake involved. Q2: do you edit the photo before posting? At the bare minimum you should crop out all unnecessary chatter outside the subject coin. When pasting the full coin into your post the edges of the coin should touch the borders of the picture. No table, chair, countertop, or anything else should be in the background.
