It really works great and the price is right - free. Easy to google and find where to download it online. I am very active on the site zeno.ru and they insist that coin photos must be a certain way: [LIST=1] [*]The coin must be taken out of the plastic holder (that’s obligatory!) [*]Both sides of the coin are to be scanned (obligatory!) [*]White background is preferable. [*]White background is preferable. [*]Desired resolution is 600dpi (for smaller coins 1200dpi would be better) [*]Desired compression quality for JPG images – no less than 70%. [*]Short but clear guide How to Scan or Photograph Coins at eBay.com. [/LIST] So, I had to re do most of my 10,000 plus coin photos to meet this format. Yes, I am still working on it. Below is an example of one of my photos. 527-565 Justinian AE follis. A perfectly round coin image can be cropped in the round, which will give you a perfectly white (or other color) background.
