Never had the 'perchance' (DSLR) but many here have had, and some are really quite good at it. I'll leave it to their expertise and I'm sure some will be checking in soon.........

 

Don't know if yours is ancient or not.
I free ancient coins as soon as they arrive

 

These are unfreed specimens........OP is involved with slabbed subjects.......go stand in the corner.

 

standard camera on a can/mason jar setup. Give the slab a slight tilt so there's less glare. Adjust the tilt until you're happy.

 

Take several photos so you can choose the one that has the best focus.

 

a better way of explaining my closing!!

 

I do

 

HA, HA !! Very funny dear Sir.
Watch the lighting also!
Don't want glare or reflections either. Just my 2 Cents.

 

Well it isn’t easy but if you put your cell phone on a can or jar you should be able to get a decent photo. Crop it and watch for light reflections.
