    This is my first Bolivian 8R coin. I did a trade with a CT member for it. The coin looks much better in hand than in the photo I took and posted here.

    regandon, how do you get rid of the slab reflection when taking a scan?

    Easy, prop up 1 edge of the slab - about 1/4". That will also allow you to capture the luster and or color if the coin has any.

    Would you then get a bit of a slanted view? I have tried that before. guess there is a whole expertise in coin photography.

    I took the photo with my camera. I need to learn how to down size correctly so I do not lose out on the contrast and color of the coins I post on here.
