<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 833445, member: 19463&quot;]I don&#039;t believe in &#039;typical&#039;.&nbsp; In hand, we wiggle coins around until they look the best they can.&nbsp; On a scanner we need to rotate the coins so the light appears to come from the best side to highlight the coin.&nbsp; You can always restore the top of the coin to the top of the picture using postprocessing software.&nbsp; In my opinion the best one is the Constantinopolis because the left facing bust put the light on the face rather than the back of the head.&nbsp; Each scanner model is different when it comes to angle of light.&nbsp; I&#039;d try scanning these with a quarter turn so the light appears to come from the top and a half turn so it comes into the faces of the right facing portraits and see which looks better.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I see no reason to use a lower resolution.&nbsp; You could crop tighter which would make less waste white around the coins and increase brightness and contrast a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
