Hi Koda - welcome! 15 years - bet you've found some nice items. What are you primarily looking for? PA should have about anything one could hope to search for. Sue

Hi Koda

               Sorry to say I dont think scanning solid things like coins will work very well , maybe because there is not enough contrast for the scanner to identify  . I think you will have to take a close-up photo of your subject dont use a flash ,  illuminate the coin with a desklight or something like that and take your photo with macro setting , that should work fine .   Nice try anyway  Smiley

Ok Koda  ,  we all try different things to get them to work , things wouldnt get invented if we didnt experiment .    Im always pushing the envelope with new ideas sometimes they work sometimes they dont .
                                    Great

Enjoyed looking at your coin - the shield is in nice condition. Great find - lying there all these years until you beeped along  Smiley Sue
