Once you have optimised the photo save it and then upload. Otherwise you can use a program like photobucket.

okay...thank you...trying again to upload pics
but just a quick note: the coin looks like it has been clipped ~ but ~ there are still 'rim millings' clearly visible and the letters of australia look 'pushed in'
that's what I thought odd
& was hoping someone could enlighten me
might have to email pics to someone - instead - if I can't work this uploading pics business out - so much for a mensa iq...duh

It took me untolds to get an image posted. With photobucket and you have join and can sign in etc. You press the "upload" button and it takes you to your picture files and you down load your image. You then get your image into photobucket edit and crop and then save your image. In doing this your image will be sized to fit CCF. Once you have your saved image look for a menu near your image of 4 choices that are stacked on top of each other. You choose the bottom one that has "IMG Code" just normal click on it and then paste the image on your posting page. Hope I have been helpful! kg5  |

Well done on the photo. Its a lot better than my first attempt. The coin has suffered some severe PMD and is not an error. You can tell its not a clip by the way the legend at the rim indent has also been pushed towards the centre. |

Splaying? Not nesessarily in this case. Looks like this coin has been in the wars! The centre of pressure for this impact PMD is almost in the middle of the thickness of the coin. There would have been some negilgible thickening if the coin at this point, but the rims have probably worn dowm again. The rims are the part of the coin that are most subject to wear. That is why a coin has rims. They are there to protect the coin. |

It is without. Doubt PMD. If you look at the lettering of AUSTRALIA you will notice ir is curved inwards. This is an impossible occurence during striking because the lettering on the dies cannot move. If the planchet had been clipped before striking the some of the letteing would be missing or weakly struck rather than curved inwards. |
