Pictures are too small.
I can see some wear and some luster, but that is about it

What is the process for getting them posted larger? I'm following the instructions. Total file size is 250kb.

It could be your pictures, how much did you shrink them from the original size?
Try posting them to photobucket, then paste the [IMG] code in the body/text of your reply

That is funny. They are only 120KB on my end. Also, most programs allow you to save the picture in a larger size without taking so much memory.

Original file size for each picture was way bigger. I reduced the file size size.
There are two pics @ = 250kb. So I suppose, that explains the 120kb size.
Therefore, can I make each picture 250kb? Also, I notice on even the different monitors in our house, pics show differently. Thanks for all of your help, gotta run for now. I'll try re-posting later..

You need to get the original file, and upload to photobucket, then get the [IMG] code and post it here.

What file type did you use ? If your pics were .bmp, .tif or something similar and size was 1mb or more then save them as .jpg files and the pixel size xxx X xxx will remain the same while the file size mb drop to kb.

Question - is the background in that pic really that blue ? If so use something else. If not adjust your settings.

File type was .jpg. Again, when coin talk specifies a 250kb maximum size, is this per picture or the total for all pictures in a post?

Also, background is not that blue, so I'll try adjusting exposure, etc.

I think I've found the answer..I was using edit function in my app that resized original picture as it reduced file size...

I'll try this other edit function, it looks like it maintains original pic size.

Thanks for everyone's help!

a 1927-p peace dollar is a key date.an ms-60 will cost about $69.00 dollar but will be better if you send it to grade.to ngc,pcgs or anacs.then you can check the price in the grey sheet.or numismedia.

EACH PICTURE can be no larger than 250K.
