[QUOTE="kanga, post: 579592, member: 9270"]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.[/QUOTE]
