Working on distance

 

This is a trial pic to check for distance needed between the camera lens and coin platform.

Great detail on the upper end of the coin but gets fuzzy towards the bottom. Maybe back it out a little IMHO

I agree with Hunters gold, I think a little too close!!!

Sharp on the top, fuzzy on the bottom - looks like the focal plane of your lens and the coin aren't quite parallel. I'd try adjusting the angle of the coin a little. Also, if your camera allows for any manual adjustments, you could try slowing the shutter speed (which should decrease the aperture size and increase the depth of focus).

cbc, Thanks on the shutter speed. I'll slow her down next weekend when I play some more!!!!!
