Help! Coin photography trying to photograph couple rare coins

I'm still trying to figure out the optimal resize ratio for the 108MP camera. I'm also trying to figure out how to effectively focus the Note. The spot focus seems only to focus on a small spot, not at all like the older S5.

The coin itself has some weird weakness issues going on. I bought it entirely for the toning.

Still, quite an improvement over coin photography experiments of the past.

It does take some experimentation, but I can really see the color that you spoke of in these photos. The thing is not to over magnify anything, but fill your viewer as much as possible without compromising the photo. You can crop and edit afterwards. But I like this set better.

 

As for picture size, I upload many coin photos to Tantalus. There is a 2MB size limit on uploads to Tantalus, which corresponds to about a 2400x2400 pixels coin image. I use Gimp to scale the images to that, assuming I use one picture for each side. If I'm combining photos, I also use Gimp.

Thank you; that's a most useful tip.
This latest Khrusru was resized at 55% of the original 108MP.

I used a fairly crude method. I opened a giant canvas in photoshop, and then slid each image in, cropping and resizing at the end.
