<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 2678054, member: 38849&quot;]You may find it easier to use a scanner than a big Nikon.&nbsp; If so, do 9 coins per scan, 3 across and 3 coins down; that&#039;s plenty for us to digest at one time.&nbsp; <u>Use a scan area of about 4 x 4 inches, at 600dpi.</u>&nbsp; Do NOT use the entire scan glass area of 8½ x 11 inches and crop away the excess; that makes for poor-quality images.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do not make your scans too dark; even the cheapest scanners give you several varying levels of illumination.&nbsp; Tell us the mint marks, if any; initially, there&#039;s no particular reason to scan both sides.&nbsp; We can request that for specific items later; no reason to double your work. </p><p><br /></p><p>Images are our only real connection with the coin(s).&nbsp; If you are unable to scan, do the best you can with the camera.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an example of a useful scan (of a dime) although it&#039;s too small; twice this diameter would be better.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have many coin photographs archived to use as examples, but the contrast and tone are good on this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]597933[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
