So here it is. This is the one that I referenced in a previous thread. I kept trying to get a quality photo with my little Canon point and shoot--it took several days for it to dawn on me that I bought an Epson WorkForce 500 for Christmas and should try scanning it instead . Without further adieu:
Sorry, this was the best I could do--scanned at 1200 dpi, which is the max scanner setting. And resized to the maximum allowable KB. Is there something else I should do to provide better images? There are two marks on the outside rim that I can only describe as little dents, one at 3 o'clock and one at 12. You can only notice them from the back. Not sure how much of a downgrade that warrants. It was only $20. I'm pretty excited by this purchase. I actually bought 5 more morgans for an average purchase price of $16.50, but none look as nice as this one (I haven't received them in the mail yet).
Obv..3 o'clock and at noon..small problems ..this would keep it from going MS -63 IMO...But a very nice strike..grads on 1st Morgan love the coin
Take a picture instead of scanning it. Set the camera to macro, then have it in the light so the luster can be seen.
I tried that--my digital is just too old and the lens can't escape haziness at short distances even with the macro setting on. I may try to talk the better half into a Nikon D90 DSLR, but that's probably a couple of months off at minimum. Til then I'm stuck with the scanner.
