Crop the images so we see mostly coin, not a tiny round object on a big table. It is preferable to join the obverse and reverse into one side-by-side image. There are numerous free photo editing apps for this. When cropped, a side-by-side picture of 1000 pixels in width is a good size. If the sides are not joined, 400 to 500 pixels wide is plenty, assuming you&#039;ve cropped out most of the background.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #0000ff">Upload the coin image and show as &quot;Full Image&quot; in thread rather than as a thumbnail.
