Hi all I have a #65 that I think is a #64b. It's a great looking stamp, but I'm in Australia and I'd like to get a certificate for it if it is a genuine #64b who can I send it to? Cheers Lawrence

If you post a good scan of the front and back, I'm sure you'll get some comments and suggestions. |

That's a very attractive stamp. Nice. But your problem was not the DOF of the camera, it is that you did not have the focal plane parallel to the surface of the stamp (tried to hand hold it maybe?). The scanner gave you a better result when you could "park" the camera as well as the stamp.

Probably right but if I had a higher f stop more would be in focus. Doesn't matter now my scanner is now working! |
