<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 88628, member: 4381&quot;]The detail of the reverse is correct in the image.&nbsp; Its the luster and whiteness of the coin which has been more or less lost.&nbsp; Now that I&#039;m more familiar with the coin thanks to this forum and the scanning I&#039;ve done, I can see to lack of detail in the breast feathers.&nbsp; The front of the coin is a little harder to judge.&nbsp; Perhaps the hair locks over the ears.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also don&#039;t know if I&#039;m looking at wear of a coin weakly struck when the breast feathers aren&#039;t sharp.&nbsp; Or maybe the wear is in the coin die.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The scanner has no trouble with details.&nbsp; Its the luster and brightness I generally loose.&nbsp; I need to pin the brightness and contrast of the scan to max to achive the brightness and luster.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
