<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3301270, member: 19463"]It might help to know the make and model of your phone just in case someone here is using the same one. None of us (I hope) have made a study of the hundreds of phones but this information might allow someone here to tell you how to make usable (not good) photos. The internet is making the ability to produce coin images of reasonable quality a very useful skill. In the old days we went to a coin club meeting or local coin store but today we use images from scanners, phones or (preferably) cameras to produce digital images that can connect us to helpers halfway around the world in no time. While this is great, there is a down side. Those who do not learn to make images are a bit cut off from the good features but also might be considered less than serious by people who see the lack as a sign the question is not serious. Some of us choose to use the images provided by the seller of coins we buy online but those that do not come with photos benefit from some form of image. I am not suggesting everyone go out and buy a thousand dollars wort of equipment but, these days, many (most?) of us have some way of producing an image good enough for the purpose and just need to learn how to use it. </p><p><br /></p><p>That token really deserves a good image. I hope you will work on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
