sanner or digital camera? shouldn't be that hard to make one yourself no?

[tmas73]

Thats what I tryed. The scan is black because of the chrome. And the Digital camera i have can't get the closeup. the macro sucks on my camera!! I found some stock images but they are to expensive!!

have you tried having the coin further away from the glass when scanning?

Here's about the best I can do.

Unfortunately my current digicam doesn't have near the macro performance of the old one.

You should paint your dime with some flat white paint and try scanning it again.

one stupid question, who is this man on the dime? :shrug:

[davemj]

Another option I suspose would be to take a rubbing of the coin and scan that. Depends on how good you are at taking rubbings and what the relief on the dime is like.

(Note: I haven't tried this)

The man is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, US prez during the depression and WWII. He started what became the March of Dimes, a nonprofit group dedicated to eliminating polio. In 1946 he was put on the dime as a memorial...
