<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3975915, member: 106826&quot;]The can has quarters in it to create weight to steady the phone against.&nbsp; Little wiggles cause blurry pictures.&nbsp; The height of the can is optimal for the phone&#039;s camera (an old iPhone 5s).&nbsp; I use different materials to diffuse the lighting (not shown) so that I don&#039;t create glare hotspots on the coin.&nbsp; The black backing works well for bright cents and nickel but I sometimes use a post-it note as backing for darker cents.&nbsp; I do this to keep the camera sensor somewhat quiet.&nbsp; Steady photos set at the optimal distance from the camera (enough to fill the screen without any/much zoom) creates sharper photos.&nbsp; Quick and simple, but this should help your fellow enthusiasts to confirm your finds.&nbsp; Get creative...to me it&#039;s part of the fun for our hobby.&nbsp; I see many excellent setups where folks used their ingenuity to create great pictures.&nbsp; You might create one yourself.&nbsp; Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
