<p>[QUOTE=&quot;theouterlimitz, post: 1314095, member: 34564&quot;]Hello.&nbsp; Thank you for the information.&nbsp; I place the coin on the glass (carefully) of the scanner (an HP photosmart all in one).&nbsp; I then scan the coin.&nbsp; I make sure all the detail settings are maxed out, and then scan the coin at 600dpi.&nbsp; The factory DPI settings are 200, so it is more detail.&nbsp; This results in a nice scan, tons of detail.&nbsp; The file size produced is then around 32mb, so I use <a href="http://www.irfanview.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.irfanview.com" rel="nofollow">www.irfanview.com</a> to &lt;resize&gt; the picture, down to about 1.8mb.</p><p><br /></p><p>So as for your grading thoughts, appreciated.&nbsp; How does one arrive at the brown-redbrown-red, figure?</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean the coin (not under scan) looks far from brown, in fact I would never even call it brown when looking at the raw coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ve looked at other coins (both slabbed by NGC and PCGS) claiming red, and red brown, and this coin seems to fit at least RB.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>How do they arrive at that designation?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So thank you for your input, I appreciate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also...in your opinion (and anybody elses) should I get this coin graded?</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
