    Great line-up! Does your camera have manual control for white balance? All but one seen to be on the blueish side. Alternatively try a warmer, more yellow type lighting

    Thanks, I'm sure I probably have a manual control I'll take a look.

    The blue color is from the toning, all but one have some blue. The lighting was an Ott Lite and a open window.

    Well done.
    Especially like the lack of white reflection which makes it easy to see the detail.

    Those look really good. What kind of phone do you have? And are you editing these in some way? I would like to learn.

    Thanks Bob. I'm using a Samsung that's a few years old. I don't do anything with them other than
    resize and remove the background.

    I agree with @TwoKopeiki beautiful pics! The automatic white balance is pusing a lot of them into the blue. I don't doubt that there's blue in some of them, but they're taking on an overall blued look.

    I agree that the first group has too much blue, I made an adjustment and I think the last three
    look more like coins in hand.
