After some time of using a camera a friend donated a scanner to my computer junk collection. I had the same problem with that 12 O'Clock thing until someone suggested getting a chip frame, holder or whatever. It works! (this one is 60%)

This is a page from a Dansco page, with the clear slides removed from one side. I drop the chips in and can see from the bottom, whether they are aligned or not. This one is marked Gaming Tokens, but the 41 or 42 mm works as well.

For individual chips, I scan at 70% so the image isn't HUGE
and the chips are sightly larger than actual size. I think scanning close to actual size is a nice way to reproduce chips and "stuff".

I can scan a page full then using an image editor, crop and save them. So I do 12 chips per page, when I have those I crop and save each one as a new file name. One scan, 12 chips, it does save time. Crop, saveas, undo, crop, saveas, undo...

This one turns out to be 194 x 170 pixels, only 10 KB, loads fast and doesn't take up alot of space on your web pages. (or someone elses)
