<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2300003, member: 1892&quot;]There is an enormous lot of information available from scans. They are as good as any camera at illustrating the coin&#039;s technical details, and with familiarity one can easily draw conclusions about some aspects of surface preservation - scans depict reflectivity well in inverted fashion (reflectivity shows as black on a scan). Furthermore, scans do not unfairly highlight frost breaks and the like, as digital photography does. My ideal &quot;Guess the Grade&quot; post would include both scans and photographs.</p><p><br /></p><p>No, you won&#039;t get any true indication of color and/or hints at cleaning, and that is admittedly a big problem. I think people use scans because they&#039;re not capable of making a camera shoot a clear pic of a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
