"Good coin scanner" is an oxymoron. Get a good camera and practice. Lance.
Why on earth would you spend $200 on something you know nothing about? Sorry...that sounds a little harsh but you get the question. My advice is...
Pretty Pilgrim, DT. Looks a bit like one of mine. Lance. [IMG][IMG]
Here is a very sweet set of '35 Texas commems. Old no-line NGC holders, too. I have been on the fence about pulling the trigger but I haven't yet....
Real, yes. Cleaned too. I'd grade it VG10 or F12. Enjoy it! Lance.
Cleaned and messed-with color. I would pass on it. Lance.

Maybe it's the pictures but it looks polished. I'm guessing the white balance is off too. Lance.
Well, in most cases today the coin is first positioned in its gasket before being placed onto the bottom half of the slab and then sonic-sealed....
