<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1285631, member: 26030&quot;]I hold the coin in one hand and the iPhone in the other and move the coin around until it catches the light just right.&nbsp; I watch the preview on the face of the iphone to determine when to snap the shutter with my thumb.&nbsp; I usually take about 30 photos and a few are decent (most are blurry).&nbsp;&nbsp; The iPhone does the best with white lusterous silver or gold coins ... it struggles with toned (colorful) coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have also made a few shots by leaning the coin slabs up against my computer monitor and shooting with a bright window reflection just to the left or right of the coin. You often have to post process the photo to adjust for brightness issues.&nbsp; The LEVELS adjustment in Photoshop is a good one.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have toned coins, you are better off hiring a good photographer like Phil at PCGS TrueView, Todd at BluCCPhotos, or John at VarSlab.com.&nbsp; &nbsp; However if you have regular white silver coins or bright copper coins, the iPhone does a great job.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
