Howdy Lucifer, I can't help with your question about the coin, but I can help with uploading photos. In a nutshell, I opened your link, saved the image to my desktop as a bitmap. Opened with editing software and cropped out all of the peripheral stuff, saved it as a jpeg. Then I uploaded the photo here once I had the size down to 70K. Either by simple resizing or saving with lower quality. Once in the post, I removed all of the externals before http and after .jpg, highlighted it, and selected the image tag icon.

You can edit your first post and upload the photo like I described. Then you can see the difference between an initial uploaded pic, and what needs to be removed so it will show in the post. Hope this helps. You can also practice in the "testing" section at the bottom of the forum.

Thanks so much for the image help Tights I really appreciate it.

As for the coin, does it command any premium? Or just throw it in the wheat bag?
