I personally scan a new coin for my collection and if I cant find anything significant I will then use my usb gizmo to have a detailed look,to make sure. It may just be me but I find it easier to get an accurate grade this way Report this Post to the Staff

ECS Valued Member Australia 64 Posts	Posted 12/16/2012 03:21 am Thanks guys, i have not mastered the camera thing yet, that is why I did the scans to show what trout would describe as "warts and all" and the photos to show the luster if any. i do agree that the camera makes the coin look better as can be seen in the 1951 federation. just out of interest, is this any better for an approximate grade?
