Scanned Images of Coins - Just a Test

Clough · Feb 21, 2008, 01:22 AM

Just looking to see if it would be ok and how it works to scan images of coins to post here in order to get some grading possibilities of them. Will delete this thread if needed. Am working to do this for my own information about the coins as well as others who might want to know information on this site about coins that they own.

I would appreciate advice/feedback concerning posting better images of coins here. Thank you!

Clough & Keepitsimplestupid - I do believe clough did a very good job ,most so because of being his first time, good going Clough. The reason I said that if you uyse a back of blue or black was the way I had tried befor and also not to long ago a coin co. sent me pictures of a couple coins ( FRONT AND BACK ) viewsand they were very good pictures and I could see the dark blue cloth under the coins For my MINolta SRT 102 , I have 4 different leneses besides the reg 55 mm The highest is 200mm to 300 mm. I also have the auto focus MinoltaMAXXUM 5000iwith reg 49 mm lense . I have 2 different trio pods ,1 about 2ft. high and the other one rises up where I can stand behind it and im 5ft 9 1/2 in tall.IVE got something I want you and k it simple to try< I have done it several times. I used my srt minolta to do it with thoughon a dark night no moon ,just stars set your tri pod up attach the camara to tri pod use either 400 or 800 speed film , focus lense good set to lowest seting you can, mine has a #1 then a Btake some tape and put across the push button , hold it down with the tape, ,push only once to take picture . ok now leave it set there for 1 to 2 hrs. maybe re set a do again for maybe 3 hrs. ( THEN WHEN YOU GET THE FILM DEVELOPED< { YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE TREAT OF YOUR LIFE< SOMETHING YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFOR } ) I dont want to tell you what you will see and spoil your surprize I dont know if these new fangled camara can do this or not for sure probley can I HOPE SO:::: . Clough - have you heard from ( K_2 since last week, about the coins he found in a old metal box, and Mpeelle, If she has the right mint mark on the dime , in G-4 condition it's worth $ 900.00 .; VG-* $ 1400.00 and up . Dimes dated 1923 D and 1930 d are counterfeit;;;; At Wolf camara in jackson tn. the one the boy said i would have to talk to was off today because he works on sat, so i will be on phone in moring to talk to him Almost out of paper .

Thanks, K.I.S.S! I will check out the site and subsequent links on that site!

CLOUGH - YOU are very welcome, glad to help all I can ,I wish I knew how to do all this on my computeer. ITS a DELL 530 s the printer is 4 things ( COPY< SCAN FAX PICTURES ) ECT> OH clough try this next time doing the back side of the coin also, Because when grading coins you have to check both sides for duifferent things plus a lot of the coins have the mint mark on the back side . Herestion for you and KISS IS the new Predsients coins the first coins to have the side of rim with incurssed edges????????????????? F.B.E. GOD BLEES YOU BOTH

Thanks, F.B.E! I will be posting images of the reverse of the coins in the future. The first images that I posted here were just a test to see how scanning and posting the images here worked.

I do have some coins that I am just dying for you to see!!!! I would appreciate your opinion on them when I do post them.

I don't know about the new president's coins... Maybe I will really start to get into this collecting coins again. My collection is large, but very old. I haven't attended to it really very much in decades. But, frankly, you being on this site, F.B.E. has helped to spark my interest in getting into the coin collecting passion again!

I also have an extensive baseball and football card collection... Collected them when I was in grade school. In the 1980's started assembling them and then got a book on the value of them. They were scattered in places all over my home, drawers, old toy box, wherever... "Holy cow!" I thought at the time when I was finding out the possible value for them. Now, the best of them are in plastic holders and the rest are protected in three-ring binder sleeves that I purchased.

I have posted some images on the following link in order to help someone else.

My dad taught aviation for 45 years, so I grew up in that kind of atmosphere. Went flying many times but never got my license. Music was more of a passion for me. But, my dad had also been an orchestra director as well as being a musician.

I will get back to you about the coin things, F.B.E. Thanks and God Bless You!!
