Quick Picture With New Ipad.

Was hand holding the iPad.

Will have to look for ant focus settings

The background is pretty sharp, but coin is a little fuzzy, so it looks like the camera is focusing on the background. Somehow you need to make sure the focus is on the coin.

PS Express is an excellent FREE photo editor for IPAD. Been using it for four months and love it. There is an upgrade that you have to sign up for but it is free as well. All of our latest listings on ebay are with my IPAD air and am not ashamed to say it. Makes listing way quicker with acceptable pix.

Went to PS Express. This app seemed a lot easier, after playing with it like a "Dummy 100."
Still in "What the heck and what does this symbol mean and do mode."

I did figure out how to turn on flash, but that picture was not
very good for this coin.

Not seeing any way to change focus option.

And still had to use CCF program to get the size below 300kb

Thanks Rocky

I work at a coin shop, I just used that coin for another
attempt at a picture. But I do have one of these coins in
my collection.

I am thinking the iPad is not picking up the details for
a really good picture.

Set the iPad on a stack of three Red Books or something of equivalent height. Make sure you are in an area with at least two sources of ambient light. You may want to move your setup around in order to get the most natural appearance. Sometimes, you will need to adjust the angle of the iPad, or to put a finger and thumb above and below the coin to diffuse the light a little bit. You may even need to use your had to cast a little shade on the coin to make the details stand out. Experiment with what you have. You can always delete the 200+ you will take trying to get the perfect look. But the end result is worth it. The key thing is to not the iPad move or jiggle as that is a sure way to get blurry pics.

EDIT: I just use the built-in camera app. Nothing fancy.

Some examples from an iPad using the above method:
