Mark, thanks for the question. I use an older HP 5200C scanner. I have tried a lot of scanners but this one works the best for Silver Strikes. The pictures are as close to what the strike looks like that I can get. We get a lot of comments on our pictures. I do all the scanning for Sharons Strikes also. The Tokens come out great also. None of the strikes or tokens come out as nice as they are in person. But this is the best I have found. Some may have better answers but we have been doing this for years. We love the hobby.
I hope this helps you. Ted and Sharon SS170 and SS171.
