[QUOTE="howboutatrade, post: 1109385, member: 10387"]Two things. 1. Move your camera to the side so the coin is just hitting the upper left corner of the frame. You can see the reflection in your camera screen, just keep moving over and out until the reflection is beside the coin. Then use any software you want to crop the picture, so it cuts away all the blank space. 2. If you are only using 3MP, you may want more detail in photos....so a higher megapixel camera will help. I use a Canon SD1300IS Point and Shoot. Using the above steps, I get some pretty good shots.
