<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kangayou, post: 1175439, member: 23111&quot;]If you do some searching here on Coin Talk , you will find some posts or threads that give some useful info on scanning coins. Although a lot of it depends on your hardware , one very helpful hint was to never lay the coin flat on the glass surface. If you are able to create a small amount of space between the coin and the glass , your coin&#039;s details won&#039;t get all flattened out. Try placing the coin in a clear plastic flip and then scan it. You may also need to learn how to use your scanner&#039;s software to crop the area you want to scan before you do the scan. You will end up with a higher quality scan of the coin itself instead of all the blank space around it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back to the original topic , Pilkenton - I also used to stand my coins up leaning against the palm rest on my mouse pad. I was using my Logitech Quickcam 9000 Pro to shoot the close ups. Even though the macro settings on the Quickcam 9000 Pro were very helpful , getting the right lighting still proved to be a challenge (especially on reflective coins). Nothing more annoying than seeing the reflection in the coin , of the camera that you are taking the picture with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
