Experimenting with photo vs scanner......whatya think? Photo on the left, scan on the right


Any guesses as to the grade? It's in an NGC holder.

    For eye appeal and luster, the photo wins hands down. Scanner picks up more detail, but the image just doesn't do it like the camera shot does. I like that coin. image

    I like the scanner better. I would guess MS63, mainly due to the ticks in right field.
    Nice toning!

    Nice rim toning.

    MS65?

    I agree with Russ, but I think the photo can be improved, unlike the scan... the photo looks a bit out of focus, so a few more shots will yield a better image- you've maxed out the quality of a scanner, which shows why cameras are the way to go image

    The photo brings the coin to life. And a nice coin it is. I agree that the scan has more detail but it looks like a corpse. As for a grade I think MS64.

    Your photo seems to capture color and luster better than scanner. Same with me. However your photo is slightly out of focus probably from hand holding movement. You might want to try a tripod and use your auto timer versus your finger pushing the bottom. In this way it is dead still when the film exposure or digital recording occurs. You will be astounded by the difference. Oh...by the way...beautiful walkerimage
