I've been noticing several new members here on CT and thought I would post a link to a thread I started in April 2021, with some basic information about coin collecting! I recommend you new members check it out. There might be something there that will help you progress in the great hobby!! Thanks and happy hunting! Basic beginner's information! | Coin Talk
And to add to that, if I may: For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
I saw this on the Andy Griffith show last night on MeTV. Coin collecting related. Most likely where the founder(s) of Etsy got their website idea.
