Nice looking coin there...I think. Try using the macro setting on your camera...it should be marked with a flower.

Very nice! I just got an Ace 250...HUGE upgrade from my old BH. I can maybe help with the camera tips lol :P I would recommend standing a little further back unless you have a setting for macro on your camera (icon for it is usually a little flower). Cameras have a really hard time focusing in on things that are less than 1-1.5 feet away without a macro setting. If you take the pic from a little farther away, it will be able to focus and then you can just crop the image in paint or whatever you use. It should be a lot clearer that way...

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry for the late response somehow I missed them. I'm definitely going to have to work with the camera a bit as you can probably tell from my photos. I'm actually headed out right now for an hour or so. I will update you if I find anything worth mentioning. Thanks again!
