<p>[QUOTE="clayirving, post: 1100565, member: 18867"]When I first started scanning notes, I wasn't very careful about cropping the edge of a note. As I gained experience, I realize the preparation of the image of the note needs to reflect, as much as possible, the actual note. The 1928 Gold Certificates tend to have very dark vignettes when scanned. Again, because of inexperience, I think I over-exposed the image of the note to bring out the detail of the vignette. For example, this is another Gold Certificate I sent to PCGS:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.panix.com/%7Eclay/currency/2400-002.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The paper is definitely over-exposed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
