<p>[QUOTE="Jral1, post: 1253563, member: 32252"]I have come up with a new way to scan coins so you can see the reeding(not sure if it works with coins that have words on the edge but it should show some part of the words or lack there of in cases of missing letter error coins). Maybe this would help apps that grade coins determin the quality of reeding and color seeing how you truly see have the coin. All you need is about four drops of water placed onto of the scanner glass then lay the coin down softly on the drops of water. You can achieve different effects using a external light source(flashlight or what ever else you can think of) if you leave the scanner open and shine the light at the coin and water. this might help spot plated vs silver coin "errors" aswell. If the drop of water has perfect cemetrical circle the results turn out quite well(ajusting brightness and contrast can help too. hover over image wait for image to pop up then click wait for new browser window to pop then click the image again to full at full res(click the center mouse button(scroll wheel) then move mouse around to scroll around image! Oh and always remember to chose custom scan and increase resolution to highest settingor at least 1200dpi!Also use the click and drag corners after you preview scan you picture to crop all blank space out of the image to keep vile size to a minimum</p><p>[ATTACH]135094.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]135096.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]135097.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>On a side note How many drops of water can the rim of a quarter hold before it spills ofer?(Lay quarter down on level surface and drop drops of water onto it!) </p><p>and can that magnify a camera shot of the coin?(I dont have a camera right now.</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
