But there is one way i know for sure...use a seated dollar instead of a dime next time
I like to see the photos a little smaller, so you can see the whole coin...
Then provide close up's if needed...
Nice Dime...

I notice you're using only one light, positioned fairly low to the left. As a result, you're not picking up any flash there may be in the fields, and you have uneven lighting, especially on the obverse, presumably due to a shadow cast by the slab insert. Raise the camera a little and use two lights. If you are reducing the size of the picture in post-processing to make it web-ready, you have room to move the camera back. Position the lights or rotate the coin so that you don't have large dark areas in the field. The seated liberty design is low-enough relief that it will look pretty much the same no matter how you rotate it. You will probably come close to having the glare from the light encroach on the coin.
What kind of camera are you using?
