Hope you don&#039;t mind. </p><p><br /></p><p>Scanners do not scan perfect. The scanner head never comes from the factory set perfectly square to the scanner bed. They all scan at a angled perspective. Refer to the crude arrows black and yellow I drew on the image above to illustrate this point.</p><p><br /></p><p>What a flatbed scanner will do is scan imperfect - perfectly each time. If this makes any sense. Always at the same focal length, distance and angle to the scanner bed.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you put your coin in a 2 x 2 cardboard flip, which are cut almost perfectly square, square the flip edge against the alignment bar on the scanner and make 4 different scan rotating the coin 90 degrees each time as illustrated in the image above. You capture 4 different perspectives of the coin at the same distance, focal and angle. </p><p><br /></p><p>Import the 4 scans into your image editor rotate right side up and stack and render them into a 3-D image.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think this would work?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
