[QUOTE="kanga, post: 309945, member: 9270"]I'm not going to give an opinion. But I [U]am[/U] going to make a [B]suggestion[/B]. Large images tend to make coins look worse than they really are. The higher resolution picks up a lot of details that are unseen by the eye and even low (3x) magnification. IMO a coin's image should show both sides side-by-side and be fitted to the screen. I find 300 dpi works reasonably. (I scan/image at 600 dpi and reduce to 50% to 75% depending on the coin size.) Here's an example: [FONT='Courier New'][B][IMG]http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/5-1929.jpg[/IMG][/B][/FONT][/QUOTE]
