[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1046144, member: 19065"]Thanks for the example scans. Results certainly vary and while your example may be considerably better than most scans of raw coins simply laid flat on the glass of the scan bed, these are not the most desirable results of coin imaging, especially if you intended to show off the true color of that coin. Less than desirable results is pretty much what I had said about scanning coins earlier in this thread. For instance, your scan has caught a lot of glare off the plastic of the 2x2. There is uneven illumination over this coin. The cold light of the scanner lamp is very bluish at the top edge of the coin effecting the color of the coin across that region quite significantly. The angle of the coin to the scan and the intensity of light makes seeing some details in the center of the coin a bit hard to read as well. Scanning coins for the purpose of generally sharing images on a forum works but scanning coins is more of a last ditch effort in coin imaging.[/QUOTE]
