<p>[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3255978, member: 77413"]I think it is out of focus. If you are using an iPhone, remember that they don't focus any closer than 4 inches. You can try to lay the phone on something about that height to keep it stable. I find a roll of toilet paper is just the right height. Look at post <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coin-photography-set-up.229658/page-6#post-2594586" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coin-photography-set-up.229658/page-6#post-2594586">#102</a> in "Post your coin photography set-up" for a suggestion.
