    I have this big box of change, and I still put change in it. It is worth about $1,500
    Stand up to look at the pictures.

    Sorry, pictures are very dark and low pixels. I can't see what you're trying to show.

    Do you have one with the lights on and maybe closer? It seems small from so far away.

    What kind of camera are you using (make and model)? Even a 20-year-old digital camera can produce images bigger than 200x150 pixels. Maybe we can help you fix the settings, or figure out what you're doing wrong when you upload the files.

    That'd be even more fun if it were in paint cans and they were buried along a path near Saddle Ridge, CA and the coins were gold, and you found them there.

    Indeed, and I hope he takes the offer to heart. I checked the exif after the last thread and wasn't able to discover what model he's using.

    I bought my first digital for coin imaging in the late 90's and while nothing compared to what is readily available today for a pittance, it certainly was capable of results vastly superior to this. A camera is simply a tool, and as with most any tool, is most useful in the hands of someone genuinely knowing how to use it.

    Oookay...

    No offense intended, but why not allow the board to help you with your camera instead of asking/expecting folks to stand, squint, and/or struggle when trying to view your photos? It's an honest and sincere question.

    Seeing that you are only eighteen at what point did you start to save these coins and tell us a little of there history please. I started collecting at nine by saving all my paper route and bottle recycling money that then went into buying rolls to hunt. Not allowance or birthday money for me, different times in the sixties.
    Please tell us YOUR story!
    Thanks,

    You couldn't very well be inventing the Internet in the 60's. I think I heard some Senator's kid from Tennessee was.
