Pics getting better

[Lowbatts]

Hooked up a new scanner. My photo skills are, well, non-existant. So I went out this morning in search of a new subject to try out on the new scanner. About half an hour later I found this '07 D dime, one clad dime and a mem cent. Looked for another half hour but got nothing.

Gotta find more subject matter for the new scanner.
Happy hunting!

Thanks guys! Didn't know myself how good this coin looked until I scanned it in. Only ground damage is to the "I T" in UNITED. Very little ground scarring. It rang up as a silver quarter should but it had a large nail head with it and the rig up-averaged the target response instead lowering it.

5" down under a small driveway apron just 20' in front of a plaqued 1859 house. The whole front yard is covered by long-overgrown evergreens, perfect for keeping oldies in place and shallow. No one home when I was there but it's a real awesome looking yard that'll get me back there for a site hunt.

That's the first rule for having 'better pictures'. Nice dime And look forward to seeing more scanned items. I personally have never tried a scanner since I have a pretty good DSLR with the right lens for the job, but perhaps I should try a scanner on my next posting?

The scan looks real good. You might be able to make it look even better depending on your software.
If you have a way to play with contrast and brightness it may enhance the edges of the letters even more. Or you could try a sharpen filter but that sometimes introduces grain into the entire picture.

You couldn't ask for a better looking coin though!
