<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2084024, member: 59737"]This post is doubly erroneous because some of the coins are errors/varieties and the photos are errored as well. I took picked up a new lens for my iPhone in an attempt to use that for close up photos. I think that there is such thing as seeing too much and the photo quality detracts from the coin. I use two CFL bulb lights to help with the lighting and while I was a bit lazy and didn't take the coins out of the 2x2s, I still don't think the photos would have been much better. I don't know how to manually adjust my iphone's white light settings, so the color is off on all of them. I'm going to show the lens I bought, not because I'm unhappy with it, but because I want to show what it is and see if anyone can advise. I'll also post a few photos of some coins I was trying to photograph.
