If you have a smart phone - the following, ver inexpensive system has been praised here by some of our best photographers. It will be well worth the time to check it out.

I am not after perfection in pics, but just want to be able to take some nice ones. So I went to Walmart and got their least expensive LED (with diffusing plastic built in) desk lamps at 5.00 each.
I put a piece of paper down beside a thick book. I lay the phone on the book so the camera lens sticks out over the coin (work to find the best height with multiple thin books). I position the lamps where I think the lgithing looks good. I also use the 2 second timer on the phone to make sure I do not jiggle the phone when taking the pic.
Here are some typical - very quickly and sloppily taken pics using my own method.
Obviously not as good as the ones in the thread mentioned above, but good enough for my use.
