Peter,


Before you dump your scanner, you might want to try the driver for
the Epson Perfection 2400 Photo scanner. It's supposed to work with
the 1640SU. Epson has a Windows 7 64-bit version available on their website.

Thanks for your suggestion, but so far I have not had any success.
Although I can find the driver for the Perfection 2400 scanner Windows
7 won't seem accept it for the Perfection 1640. *Windows detects there
is a 1640 there and I can't see a way to fool the system into thinking
it is a 2400 so that I can use the new driver.

So, I am reluctantly still searching for a new scanner. *At the moment
the Epson Perfection V350 or HP Scanjet G3110 seem to be suitable.
Both seem to have downloadable drivers for Windows 7 (64-bit).

I suspect that the Epson is a bit more scanner than you need just for
coins. Naturally if you need it for other purposes, it might be a
good value. The HP seems to have the features you need, but when I
look at the reviews of it on the HP web site, they seem to say not to
buy it. I've never used this one.
