<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3251501, member: 19165&quot;]Scanners are nearly useless for coin pictures. They just cannot capture the luster of a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>A magnifying glass is not necessary for pictures - most cell phones these days take perfectly adequate pictures. Three tips: hold it steady, make sure there is enough (but not too much) light, and select &quot;macro&quot; mode. If your phone has options, look for macro mode (it is sometimes depicted by a &quot;flower&quot; icon). The macro mode will take better coin pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to post pictures here and get opinions on a coin, do not be discouraged - you may have to take 10 or 20 pictures before you get a good one. You want it to be well lit, but most of all it needs to be in focus. If it looks a little blurry to you, it will look really blurry to us on our computer screens. You know what you are looking at, but we don&#039;t![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
