I've looked at cameras and stuff, but I really just can't afford anything at the moment. Any help would be extremelyyyyyyyyyy appreciated. I can't take any pics of my coins up close because it's too blurry. You can hardly identify the coins in my pics. Report this Post to the Staff

Shut off the flash and use ambient light.Also a dark or black background also helps to make details stand out. And take about ten pictures and pick out the best. I took these of and ATB Quarter with my cell phone through a magnifying glass. Not great, but not bad. Edited by denco7 01/23/2013 11:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
