<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1457938, member: 112"]Scanner images turn out dull (lack of luster) for a specific reason - it's because of the angles, or rather the lack of angles. So to get a scanner to produce a pic that shows a coin's luster, or color for that matter, all you need to do is create an angle between the coin and the scanner glass. You can do that easily but putting something about 1/4 inch thick under one edge of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that's what used for me on my scanner. Yours may be slightly different, the angle may need to be slightly more or slightly less. And you do that by changing the thickness of what you put under the coin. Another coin may work for example. Or maybe one side of an Air-Tite, or maybe a complete Air-Tite. Experiment a bit, try different things out until find the right angle for your scanner.</p><p><br /></p><p>It works.
