Thread: How To Post (Upload) Photos

Thanks for the info. I will definately give it a try. I will try it with my largest coin first and see what happens. At some point I will post it, just to show how it turned out.

wow i think i got it thank you so much for everyones help.now figure out how to take pics lolol

see what you people have started....lol

i will have to post my oldest and uglyest coin if it is even a coin.and i know i can write in the post i put picsty

Wheaties fan - yes, you certainly have the tricks to uploading images down pat

now to get the images of the coin even bigger, yet retain the same file size - crop the background stuff out, so that the edges of the coin are the outside edge of the image. MSPaint can easily help you do that.

In no time, you will be posting ginormous images quite easily

Most scanners i see these days have the ability to select the part of the preview screen you wish to scan, this eliminates the need to edit the photo after. It might not eliminate the desire - especially if you like to enhace the photo, add a logo ect. I dont know about all new scanners, but alot also add the ability of batch scanning. place 20 coins on the scan bed, select them, and get 20 different jpg's, gif's, ect....

personally, while scanning is SO much easier then taking photos, the image from a camera is much nicer then a scanned image IMHO

I agree, it is easier. And if you are lucky enough to have a really old, but good scanner, and you know what you are doing, you can take scans that are every bit as good as any image taken with the best of cameras

Good, now just crop your pics in closer to the coin and you'll have this down pat

I will agree with you here 100%! alot of scanners these days are complete ... well, a waste of money! I have been searching for an affordable scanner that will do what i need for close to 2 years now. Still got my plumb-awful epson.

I have a 1955 penny and i think its double die can anyone give me their opinion thanks

Here is what a 1955 double(d) die. Aside from the fact yours has a mintmark, it does not look at all like this one from what I can make out. Photo courtesy of Heritage.

Anyone know what the Heritage of america coin collection is worth, I see there is some discusion on this, but can't seem to get a ballpark on what it is worth

Hello this is my first post... I found this penny in my pocket and looked very odd... any ideas of a value... or is it just a penny... I would love to know how it came to be like this... thanks Budd
