O-F, I tell you this to help you. You know coins very well, certainly better than me, but as the previous three posts are "saying", you need to improve your pictures. You would certainly get more responses. I know, I for one have passed on a number of your posts because of the pics, (I can't comment on something I can't discern.) I know you deal with a lot of shiny coins, and they are more difficult to photograph. I believe you need to adjust your light source. Perhaps a weaker light, or diffusing the one you are using would help. JMO
