My world coin collection is in 2x2's in a Dansco album. I'd like to take photo's without removing the coins from the 2x2's. I tried a few with very little lighting to cut down on reflections. Also, I used the medium size in photobucket. Cropped the picture with windows photogallery, but no other editing.

The picture below is a brass coin. Let me know how to improve the photo and any other hints. Is it okay, horrible, or good enough to photograph other coins.

Appreciate all the comments and hints.

You're doing well, for shooting through plastic. With that said, there isn't going to be a whole lot of improvement as long as the coins stay in 2x2's; as you already know, reflections will be a problem, as will focusing. Are you able to manually focus the images with your camera? That may be hit-or-miss, taking a half-dozen shots with a slight change in the focus each time, but it might help.
