[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 317289, member: 11521"]Here is a little trick that may help some with their coin photography. Instead of laying the coin on paper, felt, cloth, etc. try placing the coin on something that elevates it above the background. A film canister works great. (You may want to cover the top of the canister with felt so it does not damage the coin.) This will make it easier for your auto-focus camera to focus on the coin. Depending on how your camera focuses on an object it may be confused by the background and focus somewhere between the background and the coin if they are very close to the same distance from the camera.
