    Are you wondering why you didn't buy a digicam a long time ago? That is a great photograph (and the coin is not bad either).

    In one sense, yes. But mostly, it is no wonder at all. I was being a cheapskate.

    Paying $50 for a scanner that could scan 20 coins at once seemed the fiscally responsible thing, until I realized that any sales I might make are impacted by the quality of the image. I prefer the comment about a coin I sell to be "as expected" rather than "better than expected."

    Sure makes the coin go from "nice" to "awesome" in 60 seconds flat, doesn't it? image
