[QUOTE="kanga, post: 4643239, member: 9270"]I have a World Birth Year set. It's an inexpensive "fun" set so most of the coins are circulated. I want to image the set quickly so I intend to scan most of the coins rather than photograph them. My Rules: -- [B]No[/B] coins will be scanned in a holder (2x2 or flip). -- Coins that for some reason don't scan well will be photographed. -- Coins in slabs will be photographed (my scanner in-focus point is the glass surface; even the small offset caused by a slab will make the image fuzzy) -- Scans will be done at 600dpi. -- No resizing will be done so that the relative sizes will be retained. Here is a test case of a 24mm coin: [IMG]http://www.dcderoo.com/Test1-o.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.dcderoo.com/Test1-r.jpg[/IMG] Opinions: -- Is the size okay or too big? -- Is the image quality okay? -- Did I forget something? This COVID-19 pandemic is causing me to have LOTS of time to fill.[/QUOTE]
