<p>[QUOTE="ACoinJob, post: 2790395, member: 76768"]I have 2 kinds of scanners, and a stereo-microscope, and also a few various cameras, there's 8.1 mega-pixel, and an HD camera. Depends on your skill level, you can edit scans of 600 dpi from a flatbed scanner. But if coins in slabs don't come in readily on flatbed scanners, there's an OCR scanner. If the OCR scanner don't scan it, you can use a Plano Convex lens over the scanner portal, and a bi-convex lens over the coin in the holders, seems to work for me, if you choose a scanner for detailed coins. Ofcourse the 8.1 mega-pixel cam works great if you get up close shots over the eye-piece of any handy microscopes, including stereo microscope. It's not at all difficult, but mostly "Trial & Error" until you get comfy with some. Editing in windows Paintbrush, or GIMP if running Linux is fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
