<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2286791, member: 1892&quot;]A scanner does not create lifelike images of a coin. A decent scanner (most of them) combined with appropriate technique (the sharpest results a scanner will give you are usually not at its&#039; greatest optical resolution) will provide a very nice illustration of a coin&#039;s technical details. What it cannot do is correctly capture the look and feel of the surface - luster, color, reflectivity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Quality photographic images of coins require far more complex technique and knowledge of photography. A few point-and-shoot cameras do rather nicely, but modern rigs with big zooms and high megapixel counts are at their worst where we require quality. You&#039;ll get better results from a 10 year old 5MP Olympus.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;ve an iPhone - 5 or older, I don&#039;t know about the 6&#039;s yet - you already have a camera as good for coins as any point and shoot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
