   You need to look for the "flower" setting on your camera, if you have one. Then you need to get a small tripod and lighting sources. After that it's learning by doing. It's also much easier to shoot raw coins. When plastic gets in the way, the lighting and reflections makes things a bit more difficult.

   Use the search button and you will find a wealth of information here on all aspects of coin photography. Also, look for member Mark Goodmans book on numismatic photography and his web site.
