I use a white coin-flip insert. The phone's mysterious image processing sometimes turns it grey, sometimes not. It depends on how reflective the coin is. I tried using black cardstock but the coin color was shifted. Here are my most recent photos: Prince Edward Island Half Penny 1858 India 1 Rupee 1862 US 1 Cent 1839 French West Indies 10 Centimes 1839 Cuba 1 Centavo 1958 Jordan 1/4 Dinar AH1389 (1969) FAO Slovenia 50 Stotinov 1992 Rwanda-Burundi 1 Franc 1960 Cook Islands 5 Dollars 1978 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 03/05/2025 01:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

I zoom so that the coin almost fills the frame - roughly 10% slack - because I invariably have to rotate the image a bit when processing it. For some tiny coins, I will use 7X or more, although I don't fill the frame with them. Here's a tiny one - 15 mm.
