<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mountain Man, post: 4847582, member: 94733&quot;]Welcome to CT [USER=114715]@DramaticPig[/USER]. Interesting handle BTW.</p><p>If you are just getting into collecting, might I suggest you get a copy, new or used, of the Red Book (A Guide Book of United States Coins) for the invaluable information, not for the price guide as it is already out of date by the time it is published.</p><p>If your interest is in US cents, there are several web sites that are useful and the one [USER=84179]@Oldhoopster[/USER] listed is great for any coins.</p><p>As for posting photos, here are my suggestions.</p><p><i>You should always post in focus FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and is easily enlarged by clicking on it. It is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows, and post photos with correct orientation so members don&#039;t have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
