Nice pics, Canadian-Banknotes!  Normally, I use my Nikon Coolpix L610 for coin pics, but after seeing this, I was inspired to try my iPad Mini Retina with a loupe in front of the lens. It worked. Could use some post processing (much too light), but here is a quick pic of a coin that I had laying around on the coffee table. A little bit of experimenting with lighting would be good. I think I'll stick with the Nikon, but I am amazed at the shots that these new devices can provide  The iPad and loupe were hand held for this shot ...  |

If your phone is like most of them, the camera is not centered. You can use that to your advantage and make a steadying aid out of a block of wood. Cut a 2x4 in half and glue it together to make a 4x4, then cut off different lengths to properly position the cameraphone for different coins, You can do this with a hand saw if you are skilled, but an electric circular saw or chop saw makes it much neater. That gives you about a 3.5" square surface to rest the non-camera side on.
If you are lucky, the phone book(s) they insist on sending you can also serve.

Everybody has a harder time with Morgan reverses than obverses, regardless of camera. |

I was going to try and get the lighting on the wing tips, but wasn't able to with the "iPhone Set-Up" I have.
