  Scanning coin is fun since it gives you time to look at your collection. You have any examples to share with us? Here is what it looks like when I scan my coins:

  That one really came in nice. Here's a few that I've posted in various other threads for opinions:
  
  1865 3 cent
  1928 $20
  1912-D nickel
  
  Here's an example of a copper one that I just scanned in today. It's a brown coin, but it scanned in a lot worse than it actually is. The bottom of the obverse is almost black -- looks like a shadow from the slab it's in.
  
  1955 penny

  How did you get it too size to fit requirements, and post on top, rather than an attachment?
  I'm running XPPro, and probably reading to much into the system.
  I wish I could go back to Windows 98, I knew how that system would react.

  One trick I've just discovered when scanning (slabbed) toned coins is to use two slabs and lean the one being scanned on top of the other slab, almost looks like a flat "T" This elevates the top of the slab about .25" and seems to help bring out the colors.

  Those look good. Have you tried the prop it on a pencil trick?

  Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

  Thanks for the tip on the slabbed coins -- I'll give that a try!
