still too much glare from light. try just using your phone. I agree with T-Bop based on your photo it appears the surfaces are not original

1. turn off flash
2. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day
3. move phone about 3in from coin
4. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus
5. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring
Rest in Peace

T-bop - maybe I'm using wrong term? Purchase a unopened roll with markings from a San Francisco bank . bought it for the end coin 1957 Flying eagle. Not fed reserve roll. what term should use? TY for your help.

Ok now I completely understand . You bought a teaser roll probably from e-Bay thinking there could be some goodies in it . classic scam .
Again , nice 43 steelie but not original BU .

I cringe when I see ebay listings for rolls that just happen to have some remarkably enticing coin showing on the end.
