[QUOTE="Mat, post: 3584715, member: 21445"]I bought a Google Pixel 3a in May and I really love the camera on it. It’s considered, at the time of writing, the best on the market, even over the $1000 iphones. I was going to mention it when I posted the Tetradrachm below, but figured most here don’t care. But this was one of the first coins I took with it & was happy with the results. Maybe it might work for others, but using “portrait mode” zooms in pretty close since it doesn’t do macro mode. It also had optical image stabilization too. I was happy with the results.

Egypt, Alexandria Billon Tetradrachm O: NEΡΩ KΛAY KAIS SEBA GEP AVTO, laureate head right. R: NEO AGAQ DAIM, Agathodaemon serpent, coiled with head up, holding poppies and grain ears, L ς (date) to left. Year 6. 23mm 13.11g Milne 203; Emmett 106.6 (R4) ; RPC 5260 The Agathodaemon was a good spirit/demon that was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians. He had the shape of a serpent with a human head. The Greek inscription on the reverse of this coin shows that this is the "neo" or "new" agathodaemon serpent, or, in other words, the new good spirit (of rule by Nero).[/QUOTE]
