[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 2991495, member: 92083"]I have taken great photos with my cell phone. What I do is: 1. I take advantage of natural light during the early morning when the sun is not directly overhead. 2. I use something to prop the coin at an angle to get the right lighting. Sometimes I use a towel which can easily be manipulated to get the angle I want. 3. I take the photo from a few feet up and then zoom in so as to not get my shadow or the phone's shadow on top of it. I know many will laugh at me and this method, but my results speak for themselves. They are sharp, reveal amazing detail, and are all around awesome HD photos. Here are just a few examples in order from top to bottom: 1. 1909 S VDB AU55 Cent 2. 1943 D/D MS65 Cent 3. 1942 P Type 2 PR66 Nickel 4. 1943/2 P MS64FS Nickel 5. 1937 D 3 Legs AU55 CAC Nickel 6. 1932 D AU55 Quarter 7. 2012 S (Silver proof) half (angle #1) 8. Same 2012 s (Silver proof) half (angle #2) 9. 1935 P MS63 Dollar (obverse) 10. Same 1935 P Dollar (reverse) [ATTACH=full]738132[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738133[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738134[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738135[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738136[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738137[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738138[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738139[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738140[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]738141[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
