<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 4801008, member: 77413&quot;]The animated images only serve to show luster (if any), and to a lesser extent, trick your brain into seeing a bit of a 3-D profile as the light shifts over the coin. The GIF format only supports 256 unique colors per frame, so they aren&#039;t good for critical viewing. Their size is also somewhat large, so I keep each photo at 1600x800 pixels - which also limits the detail available. And, GIFs do not have a dedicated Web viewer that lets you step frame by frame.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish the technology were better, so I could post at 1920x1920 pixels with full color fidelity. Instead, I post one image for the obverse and reverse at the maximum resolution CoinTalk supports. I hope you expand some of the still photos to see whatever you want.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: #ff0000">A New Penny</span></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Today&#039;s addition is a replacement for the Braided Hair cent I mentioned in post <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/building-a-type-set.365346/page-2#post-4798919" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/building-a-type-set.365346/page-2#post-4798919">#29</a>, above. This is raw, but from a dealer I have worked with and who has a storefront that is within driving distance.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1165908[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And two still photos that can be expanded to CoinTalk&#039;s maximum resolution.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1165910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1165911[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The photo looks a bit like the last one, but the Braided Hair slot has its permanent resident.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1165921[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
