For illustrative purposes only, a scanned coin in a flip someone sent me... I didn't bother taking it out... hence specks.

I wouldn't use a photograph to specifically evaluate something that's high grade and/or MS; I wouldn't rely on a photo to determine such variances. That's just me...

I'm going to have to defer to the concurrence of the group that for presentation purposes, a camera would suit better.

Strictly for coin database & documentation purposes, I plan to continue using my scanner. However, for anything demanding more, I'm going to defer to Bryan1315 et. al. and recommend using a camera.

I 'fiddled' around today with my camera, and ended up making a temporary copy stand to shoot test coins.

As for the quality obtained from using a camera, below please find a side-by-side comparison of my results between using my scanner and my camera.

Good Luck!
