yelimsexa Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 6:50 pm Here is the first of hopefully many coins I'll present so you can determine the grade. I will avoid the obvious common average circulated coins unless if its a better date. We'll start things off with the Franklin which I found via CHR about 10 years ago. Report this Post to the Staff

yelimsexa Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 9:04 pm I'd wish I'd learn how to get a larger image due to the file limit. No way it can only be an EF-40 since that implies the lettering on the bell in the center is worn away. In person I can see nearly full luster and on the obverse I can see one small break in the luster at the highest point above the ear. On the reverse I can even see the luster cartwheeling around the bell lettering. My personal grade is an AU-55 for this. Report this Post to the Staff

Our image posting system and Optimizer, like everything else at Coin Community, is designed as a teaching tool. You can make it display nice 800px gradable images, and once you do you'll have a nice handle on cropping and jpg Quality and filesize manipulation which is of value with any graphics software. CCF is a teaching community. We can't help it. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 03/01/2015 3:17 pm You need to crop the picture using any number of photo manipulation apps, or try to use the free image optimizer here at the forum. If you have a smart phone you could set up the camera to take a square pic instead of rectangular, that's what I do on my iPhone. Report this Post to the Staff
