[QUOTE="ranchhand, post: 158188, member: 2622"]hmm.... thanks for the reply s! i have found some resources online that sell mounts for cameras and light tables/rungs to get good pictures, but wanted to see what else was out there. A place i used to work at had this awesome scanner that could scan objects with depth, and did a superb job... but it cost thousands of dollars. The thing was huge, you could easily scan something like an entire newspaper opened up. I was curious to see if the technology would have filtered down to "home" scanners yet. I can;t really scan coins at the store to test them before i buy ;) that nickel scan looks prety good toddestan, what kind of scanner is it? I will probably end up getting a camera mount: here is a coin world tutorial i found that is good: [url]http://www.coinworld.com/news/011005/bw_0110.asp[/url] [url]http://www.coinworld.com/news/011705/BW_0117.asp[/url][/QUOTE]
