Beautiful coin, gotta love those pics.

Consider using a non-reflective dark background when you image your coins.
I use a piece of dark grey construction paper like kids in elementary school use.
Doesn't matter whether you use a scanner or digital camera.
A white background plays havoc with the exposure and makes copper coins in particular too dark.
Then you have to fuss with them using image s/w and it never comes out looking like the real coin.
At least in my case that's a major problem.

 

Just wait until Clembo sees this!

Thanks for the tips. Photo-documenting my collection is on my to-do list you've helped a lot already.

 

You're welcome.
There's others in here that are better at it than I.
But I want to pass on to you one key item.

LESSON LEARNED: DON'T TRY TO DO IT ALL AT ONCE.
If you're anything like me, you'll lose patience after a while.
Then either the quality of your work will suffer OR you'll push it aside for a long while.
Keep it to an hour or so a day.
