GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 12:57 pm Thanks all ... I think I have just a humble collection, compared to some of the high end coins some have. This thread has got me thinking, I lost a lot of pictures. I think it was when I lost a laptop a while back. I know I had more pictures of proof sets and proof coins. But it has made me look at some of my albums. I see that on my third P/D/S/S set of State Quarters, I am still missing a set of 2007 silver proof quarters. Good chance I have a set of those packed away. I did find a couple dansco that have proofs Like this one, Lincoln proof 1953 through 2009 Jefferson nickels 1953 through 2010 Somewhere have the same for Dimes quarters and half dollars. I really need to get more organized Report this Post to the Staff

clairhardesty Pillar of the Community United States 1027 Posts	Posted 09/13/2016 11:41 pm These were all scanned at 7200 DPI on an HP-4890, saved as BMPs, shrunk to 360 pixels square, grouped together and saved as JPGs at just under the 300KB limit. I have mostly switched to taking photos now, both because I now have a good macro setup and because 7200 DPI scans of the 5oz ATBs saved as BMPs would each be about 1.4GB and that is a lot of data to send over a USB2 link. Scans are good but you pretty much get what you get. There is a lot more freedom with photos, especially in lighting and bringing up very small details. at 7200 DPI each pixel is about 3.5um and I can get down to less than 1um per pixel with my camera setup.
