<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1423450, member: 33176"]The problem is with the focus and how close you can get. I stink at taking pictures, NUMEROUS attempts and few to none successes. The easiest way to do this (OK purists, it isn't good) is to scan it on an all-in-one printer. Back it up with some white paper on the flatbed, use the highest resolution you can get with the printer software, or with other software you might use (I use Corel PaintShop Pro I got for free with a rebate, but there are great programs available on the net for free) mask out everything but the coin and go for it. The rest is uploading. From the looks of the coin in your photo, it is shiny, but that could mean uncirculated with luster, or polished. If it is a proof, the fields are mirrors. The only proof I ever found was an Eisenhower from the bank. I got some and was going through them when I saw myself in a coin. Unmistakeable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
