The only one that has front & back covers that I know of is dvdempire.com, but can't use them because of that "Copyright" watermark. Even though I do see that some others do.

Does anyone know of a site that has good quality front & back covers?

I don't have a scanner, so that's why I'm asking.

Are they for personal use or for contribution?  If they are for personal use there's no problem.  If you want a site to use images for contribution then I doubt you will find one that has any images of high enough quality for contribution purposes.  Online retailers images are either watermarked or of low quality.  DVD/CD cover Image sites are a gamble to say the least.  You take the chance of picking up all sorts of viruses/trojans downloading images from those sites.  ***Downloader Beware***.

They have either not read the contribution rules or they don't care and just want to be the first to contribute, even though their contribution will get shot down.

Scanner prices have dropped dramaticaly since I purchased my last scanner.  A decent enough scanner for your purposes can be had for $79.00 - $100.00.

I would say even $40 can get you something decent, but I guess "decent" has different definitions depending on perspective.   

The issue with downloading covers from other sites is not that they hold the copyright, but that using their images infringes on their effort of scanning them and maintaining their database.
