Any tips on taking pictures? I can't capture the detail on the coins.

I have three that might be worth more than silver value.

1. 1797 British Penny - worn to the point that you can only just make out the date. Not US, but thought you might have some idea about that type of coin.
2. 1897s dollar coin - almost no wear. The wings, lettering, and pretty much everything is totally crisp, but you can tell that the very top points are a little worn (the breast of the eagle and the very highest parts of the hair). Not shiny with a consistent gray patina.
3. 1917 quarter - don't see a mint mark. Moderately worn, can make out some detail on the shield but details on the face/boob are gone. The back is a better than the front. This is the best pic I could capture.
