There are costs associated with changing the process or worrying about the artistic quality of the scans. One thing that I appreciate about the scans are that they are done in a consistent manner. So, at least I know they are NOT messing with the lighting or trying to misrepresent the coin in some way. Every coin is scanned by a machine with similar settings. The scans are decent enough to see marks and some details of the coin, so they serve their purpose of being an 1) anti-counterfeit mechanism, and 2) a form of insurance against damage caused in shipping the coins back to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
