<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 3800304, member: 88829&quot;]Thank you for posting that.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been a fan of lightboxes since the days we used them for work with transparencies.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was going to suggest building one, but this is a simpler solution and in this case cheaper too.&nbsp; For about the same cost as this unit I ordered a 6x12 inch sheet of 1/8th inch sign grade polycarbonate.&nbsp; That would have been just the beginning and less flexible than the sketch box, and much more cumbersome too.&nbsp; For the portability factor I ordered one, and can&#039;t wait to see what all it can do.&nbsp; And I too prefer a black background, but print publishers don&#039;t.&nbsp; Nice to have all the right tools in the kit.&nbsp; To protect the surface I will use a thin sheet of mylar to cover the screen so coins will not scratch it.&nbsp; I had a scanner years ago with a glass bed that I put the coins on.&nbsp; No matter how careful I was in placing a coin, after just a couple of years it had nicks and scratches so bad they showed up in images.&nbsp; Mylar/polyester sheets to the rescue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
