<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1938505, member: 38849&quot;]With a scanner, go 600dpi.&nbsp; Select a small scanning area, do not use the entire 8 x 11 scanner glass and crop away the excess.&nbsp; Scanning area 2 x 2 or 3 x 3; if scanning a group, keep your scan area as nearly square as you can, i.e., three rows of 3 coins, not nine coins spread across a page.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most coin scans need to be lightened one notch, and most software does this easily.&nbsp; That&#039;s most of the technique in a paragraph.&nbsp; Paper money, use 1200dpi, then reduce the pixel count (usually to a 40 index, down from a 100 index) with the indexing tool.&nbsp; Clean the glass before you start.&nbsp; I tore my scanner apart and did some modifications so that I can clean the underside of the glass too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
