    I've been posting a lot about my Capped Bust half dime set, but I have another set that's an equal favorite at the moment.
    That's Classic Head half cents.
    Here's my latest addition:

    Super nice!

    The photo enlarges fine when you click on the image. I think Peter modified the system before the changeover because many photos 640x480 were posting tiny as thumbnails. If he wanted to enlarge those, he would surely have to make sure that larger photos were downsized. Just a guess!

    Oh, I see.
    The "Insert Image" option works something like a thumbnail.
    Click on the image and it comes out full size.

    Anyway getting this coin means only 4 to go for this set.
    And only 2 to go for the half dime set.

    Love that coin! Amazing how something can have survived over 200 years that well.

    That is a very lovely coin. I love copying it to my desktop, opening it with Photoscape, and then filling the computer screen with the coin.

    You nee a new calculator. .07 isn't a downpayment on that coin. You'll need to add another $299.93.

    Only problem with that is if you over-enlarge it then it starts getting pixelie.
    I solved that by taking VERY up close images.
    Then I save the original (way too big for the screen without scrolling) and use it to make appropriate reductions.
    One size for the presentation setup that I used here, and another slightly larger version for my NGC Registry set.
    I try to use the largest image a website will allow without extending beyond the screen margins.
