<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3206493, member: 56859&quot;]Not that I&#039;ve seen, and thanks for bringing it up!&nbsp; There aren&#039;t any hard and fast rules, although some customs and courtesies have evolved over time.&nbsp; Here&#039;s what I feel is appropriate:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Guidelines for posting coins for identification</b></p><ol> <li>One coin per thread.</li> <li>Do not flood the board with requests.&nbsp; Perhaps one per day, or less.</li> <li>Include adequate images of both sides of the coin.&nbsp; The pictures should be in focus, of large enough size, and well lit.&nbsp; Crop the images so we see mostly coin, not a tiny round object on a big table.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is preferable to join the obverse and reverse into one side-by-side image.&nbsp; There are numerous free photo editing apps for this.&nbsp; When cropped, a side-by-side picture of 1000 pixels in width is a good size.&nbsp; If the sides are not joined, 400 to 500 pixels wide is plenty, assuming you&#039;ve cropped out most of the background.</li> <li>Upload the coin image and show as &quot;Full Image&quot; in thread rather than as a thumbnail.&nbsp; If people have to click to see the image, you won&#039;t get as many lookers.</li> <li>Include the weight and diameter of the coin.</li> <li>Tell us how you acquired the coin and any other information which might help.</li> <li>Tell us what steps you&#039;ve taken so far in your effort to identify the coin.</li> <li>Tell us what you think it might be.</li> </ol><p><br /></p><p>As this thread grows there will undoubtedly be more websites, more suggestions, more everything.&nbsp; Gavin, I wonder if it would be helpful to edit your first post as such things arise, capturing all of them in the first post of this thread?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
