[QUOTE="thaivic, post: 897574, member: 23991"]In most cases I, personally, prefer to scan. It's quicker and there's no setting everything up (camera, camera stand, lights). The fact that I'm also a lousy photographer also has some bearing. I'll scan coins at 200ppi but if I require finer detail then it's 1200ppi and then crop for the area wanted to reduce the file size. Okay you miss out on lustre etc. but then I'm not trying to impress anyone for a sale. At the end of the day it's a personal thing like coin storage (album, holder, flip, bag, biscuit tin).
