<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2376796, member: 19463"]I know it is not an opinion shared by all but being able to produce an image of a coin that shows detail and color within reason is a communication skill just like having a certain degree of writing skill in English (or whatever language is being used in the venue). You can do a lot of talking here on Coin Talk but I'd be more likely to be able to answer an unclearly worded question illustrated with a clear photo than a well worded text with a fuzzy image. We have had people here complain about poor grammar and refusal to pay attention to spelling. It is not my intent to drive off people who have not learned even the most basic photo skills (coin in hand with phone is OK if it is done well) but posting fuzzy images of coins in left in their flips can be interpreted as a way of saying "I really don't care."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
