I guess I should just stop. I wish I could pin down a better way. I'm going to leave until I figure it out, I did order something I hope helps me Thank you to those trying to help me
Don't stop, just practice. When I first started on here my photos were horrible, but everyone was patient and more than helpful with recommendations on what would/could help. Investing in some equipment as you said you did is the first step.. Good luck!!
Your pictures weren't really that bad. Some just had a lighting issue making them too dark to see the details of the coin very well. Your Jefferson nickel pictures were actually pretty good.
I'm using a cellphone camera as well. Try finding a cheap macro lens you can clip onto your phone online somewhere (Amazon?) and that's what works for me. Don't give up! It takes time to learn how to take acceptable pictures, especially when dealing with close-up images of varieties and errors. Most importantly, just stay persistent and eventually you'll be posting images with ease. We look forward to seeing more posts from you! Keep hunting!

As I mentioned to you in a recent posting of yours, your coin photography has already come a long way. As mentioned above, keep practicing! Coin photography isn't easy, but it will become more second-nature the more you do. Keep up the good work, keep practicing!
