<p>[QUOTE="Razz, post: 8074062, member: 100526"]They actually make a little tripod for cell phones that I used before I got a camera. Get 2 lights at 10 and 2. I use an old CD holder with a sunglasses polishing rag (black) with a slit to fit over the spindle with a felt dot on top to balance the coin. This is important as it helps your camera focus on the surface of the coin and not the background such as the table. Use the self portrait timer so you are not touching the coin or the phone/ camera when the shutter snaps. Use your camera app to rotate and crop to the edges. Focus and lighting are your main issues to overcome. Always post full images here.[ATTACH=full]1401232[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1401233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1401234[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1401235[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
