<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3038745, member: 66"]Older scanners, and older versions of Windows work better for scanning as well. The older scanners because they didn't focus is precisely on the surface of the glass the current ones do. That gave you more depth of field in the coin, being slightly above the surface of the glass, would still be in focus. Older versions of Windows because I found that more recent versions don't work well with the old scanners.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best option, if you going to use a scanner for imaging coins, is to take the coins out of the holder and put them directly on the glass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
