But you can't do it offhand. You'll need to place the phone on a stable surface several inches above the coin, use "square picture" setting, adjust lighting, frame the coin appropriately, and use the timer. There are MANY posts on photographing coins with an iPhone - search for the one where a bottle cap is used.

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4081 Posts	Posted 12/19/2022 8:14 pm I take coin photos with my iPad all the time. Good lighting and not trying to get too close to the coin are things I watch for. I then crop to desired size. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)
