I still have one of the old ones hooked up to an old Vista computer but its software is not compatible with Windows 10.&nbsp; I have not used it for coins since I got a good digital camera and the good things I said about scanners on my webpage in the early days no longer apply.</p><p>Scanner image from 1997:</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/caesaesc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I am not aware of a scanner sold today that will do as well but I have not researched the matter at all.&nbsp; The good ones were all thick (at least 2 inches) and not part of a printer/fax package.&nbsp; Still???</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/scan.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/scan.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/scan.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My early photo with a camera needs to be reshot but many of my old photos are waiting for me to do something.&nbsp; If I stopped buying new coins and put some effort her, I would be better off. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]875305[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
