For obv/rev shots don't zoom in, raise the coin on something until it fills the screen or is in good focus. Set the timer for a couple of seconds which will eliminate any camera shake. Use two or preferably 3 individual light sources, about ten o'clock, two o'clock and a third low down level with the coins surface, experimentation will show you how high/low and where your lights should be. For close ups of an area of the coin, zoom in bit by bit till you are satisfied with the clarity of the image. Once saved on your device, crop all unnecessary background out. When you upload the images to your post, always click on the Full Image button for each image as this gives other members the ability to click on your image and it will enlarge on their display.
