When you scan coins do you just lay them on the glass and scan or is there a method for it?
Sorry for the hijack and dumb question. BTW nice find on the 1909.

That coin is so distinct. The '0' just sticks out like a sore thumb from the other numbers! Nice find!

Just lay them on the glass. And then I load them to googles Picasa and then post them.
