    YEP YOU HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD...collecting can be a mental exercise at best, and at worst well you see. I am torn, my pix had gotten much better but when using an auto enlarge feature I never know. On slea-bay I insert 5 or 6 pix then list it just long enough to see what worked and what didn't. Edit fix then repost. Can't do that here. My issue is I shoot in hi-rez at 90+ quality setting but when I get out the "saw" and crop I lose way too many pixels hence blur city. On CT's system is it best to get a close up and forgo the crop? Sorry for using the wrong forum. I'll get used to that too. You know what they say about an old dog....you can purge that one if you will.Thanks L

    Not junk, but using the term junk coins seems to limit bids to spot price not rarity numbers. IMO

    I simply dislike the term 'junk' when referring to silver coins - I also dislike the term 'junk mail' because I spent 29 years at the USPS and that type of mail (business mail or bulk advertising mail) generates a large percentage of postal revenue, which in turn provides my monthly pension payment ;)

    I sell/post some World coins and have several examples of Mexico Un Peso in BU/AU and had comments on fleabay to these being called Mexican coins --junk coins. Yea that word used to only be used in describing old wrecking yards and city dumps. The lingo of the young....whats next Beautiful (looking in a can of worms)?

    It also refers to little Chinese boats. I hate those boats! They're JUNK!

    Oh yes, you would LOVE their first generation holders. Three layer acrylic sheets like capital plastic holders. Coins are put in the holes in the middle layer and the outer layers a GLUE bonded to center layer. Then the "slabs" are cut out with a band saw and the edges of the slabs beveled on a belt sander. They are AMAZING! They also did currency grading. Put the note in a standard currency holder and then pressed the top edge against a hot surface to melt it closed. Later they started using generic shells for their coin slabs.
