<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1458003, member: 112"]No, it isn't incorrect at all. As with other things to do with coins, you still have much to learn. But as I have told you before, there is nothing wrong with that. We ALL had to learn ! Scanners can and do capture luster and color - if you know how to do it. Otherwise they don't.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a pic, using an HP scanner that cost about $150 when I bought it. That same scanner is now owned by another member because he liked the pictures it made so much. This pic shows luster and color both. And it is completely in focus and not the least bit grainy.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you look you can see that one edge of the coin is propped up to create the angle so the light can be reflected properly to show luster and color. It is the exact same principle of using the axial method with a camera. Only I discovered this method with a scanner long before anybody ever even of thought of the term "axial method".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
