New Camera Present

Only one way to find out.

Your camera is a point-and-shoot with limited adjustability, so we have to be most careful with the things we *can* control. Use Super Macro Mode, which allows the camera to focus within 3cm of the subject. That usually means zoomed all the way out, and the more you zoom in the farther away you have to physically place the camera. This is one place you'll need to experiment to find out what your particular camera does best, the idea being to get the largest-possible image still in sharp focus. With this camera, you will probably end up within 4-5" of the coin. It'll make lighting more difficult.

Another priority is getting the coin and camera lens parallel. Macro photography offers very little depth of field, and if the coin is tilted relative to the camera it won't all be in focus. This is most easily done by putting the camera in a tripod or stand pointed straight down at the coin on a flat surface. Use a black or grey background - I use an old t-shirt - as colored backgrounds mess with white balance.

Use your camera's shutter timer so you're not touching the camera when the shutter snaps. 2 seconds is enough.

Best lighting is accomplished with two lamps at roughly 10:00 and 2:00, but use what you have for the moment while we get your shots well-composed and focused. I don't want to be tweaking too much at once.

Get into the habit of always shooting the coin perfectly vertical, just like you'd hold it to read/grade in hand. It is more difficult to evaluate a coin shown sideways. Crop to only the coin for posting. No need for any background, and it forces you to post the coin itself smaller.

Start with this. Let's get the setup right first. Worry only about getting the clearest and largest possible images, and we'll solve any problems with color and lighting later. Don't hesitate to ask any questions that may come up.

@SsuperDdave, a wealth of information.
I'm still trying to get the better half to agree on a better camera.
Maybe this would help.
T1Steel, thanks for posting this.

@Dave, I posted these photos this morning was excited to get the "coin" .These are rather large not exactly a smaller coin that most photos will be of .https://goccf.com/t/215047

Also as I was reading more posts in the photography forum I read about someone taking photos through a loupe and I had my camera look at 1 this way and it looked really good but then I tried to look at a full size coin (morgan)and could not get the full coin in the frame.
These are some other photos I posted in another forum with this camera.

Again Thanks for your time and patience with me.

@Dave, in all honesty I have about 4 months in this. Take a few pics of things I build at work but that is about it. I started collecting a couple of years ago. Then my collection started to get a little out of hand, so I thought I would try and sell some on ebay last November. I had an old little Sony Cybershot camera and used it for my pics. Now I just got this camera as a present this week and in a nutshell that is my level of expertise with a camera.
I have great deal to learn about coins and photography .
