[QUOTE="kanga, post: 1239246, member: 9270"]Good going. Nice group of coins. Two comments about imaging coins: 1. Use a non-reflective black or dark gray background. White backgrounds tend to overpower the camera/scanner and wash out the coin. I use a piece of dark gray construction paper like elementary school kids use. 2. Because coins pictures end up larger than what you see in the real world, you also see defects that you didn't see with the coin in hand. This is particularly true with proof coins. Beautiful in hand; disturbingly ugly in large images.[/QUOTE]
