When you click on "Reply to Topic" there is an option to upload a picture. They have to be under 100 kb. There is a free image optimizer that can help you resize your images. You should see the option for that when on the reply page. Note that you can't sue the quick reply function and upload a pic. You actually have to click on "Reply to Topic".

Looks pretty good to me. You're trying to zoom in further? How much more magnification are you looking for? What you have now is approx 2:1 magnification. To do a lot more you will need additional optics. A lot of folks do high magnification shots shooting through a magnifying glass.

You need to find a good magnifying glass or the image will not be very good. Hold the glass up near your eye and look at the coin naturally. Take note of the distance between the lens and the coin (Lc), and the lens and your eye (Le), and also measure the thickness of the magnifying glass (Lg). Set your camera on infinity focus (not macro!) and adjust the stand height to Lc+Le+Lg. Hold the lens at height Lc above the coin, and your camera should see pretty much what you see when looking through the magnifier. This is just a starting point. Adjust things around as needed to get the best shot.

If you want to get the whole coin you need to hold the camera back far enough so it can focus. Then crop the photo so the coin fills the whole photo. Cropping it will bring out the details. Those are best to post on this site. Folk seem to have good results with cell phones (iPhones in particular) as well.
