<p>[QUOTE="byrd740, post: 604229, member: 13877"]I use a scanner to scan my coins and I have no problem with damaging anything(ie the scanner or the coin). Its best to scan through a clean 2x2. Also as a tip, its best, IMO, to save the scan as a PNG. PNGs just hold more information than a JPG(JPE or JPEG), GIF or BMP; also a PNG file will not lose any information when saving multiple times while a JPG can. Also scans do not show any lustre and it is hard if not nearly impossible to show good toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
