just4fun Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 07/01/2007 10:54 pm Hi, I am very new doing this. I have only started going through the coins I have. This 1897 Morgan On the reverse - has extra metal under the base of R. Metal pinched by the star on the right. From the left star through the one is what seems to be a line going under the words and goes up to the bow. Is the 0 slanted? All help is need, even in wording the errors!

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 07/01/2007 11:52 pm My scanner wasn't up to the job either. I ended up buyng a digital camera. I still use my manual 35mm pentax camera- but not for coins! Edited by thingee 07/01/2007 11:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 07/02/2007 06:27 am just4fun, Instead of zooming how about cropping the picture down with photoediting software and see if that works. Also, Some quick tips for taking photos: 1. Make sure the camera is on the macro setting when taking photos of coins 2. If you do not have a tripod to steady the shot then one trick is to prop the coin up on a table, rest the camera on the table to where it looks like a good shot and then use the timer button. 3. Take the highest resolution pic possible. After downloading the image use your photo editing software to save as a smaller jpg file. Report this Post to the Staff
