<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1637656, member: 11854"]Up until the early 2000s, scanning was the best way for the vast majority of folks to take images of coins. Be aware that you will lose luster when you scan a coin and that color will be muted. Circulated pieces that are dark will scan well, but bright MS pieces with color won't look so hot. Also, proof coinage tends to acquire crazy bands of color when scanned. This is all due to how a scanner operates in that a plane of light rolls across the entire scanning bed area to acquire the image. I never had an issue with poor focus, but I have read dozens, if not hundreds, of times about how folks have focus issues with their scanners.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
