<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1892130, member: 66&quot;]Probably has to do with the lamp used in the scanner.&nbsp; Probably has a cooler (more blue light) bulb.&nbsp; Scanners, not being point sources are good for hiding contact marks, but they wash out luster and leave coins looking flat and dead.&nbsp; Tipping the coin slightly can help some but scanners have another problem.&nbsp; They are designed for imaging two dimensional objects not three dimensional ones.&nbsp; They are set to focus on or ever so slightly past the surface of the glass plate.&nbsp; The more expensive the scanner the sharper that focus tends to be, and the sharper the focus the smaller the depth of field that is in focus.&nbsp; So the further you get from the surface of the glass the more out of focus the image.&nbsp; For this reason cheaper scanners often do better than expensive ones.&nbsp; On cheaper ones the depth of field is greater and the coin remains in focus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
