Your image transferred to my computer as a 76 Kb image, which (IMO) is way to compressed to use for grading. A "cropped" image is just a piece (submatrix) of the (76 Kb) compressed image, and contains the same "distorted" (or, altered) information as the "76 Kb compressed image", but just enlarged. Thus, "cropping" an image is just isolating a submatrix of the original 76 Kb (compressed) image matrix and doesn't produce a better image. In summary, (IMO) your efforts in learning to grade a coin can not be very effective using a picture/image, with the upload-capacity limits posted on most websites. So, if you send a coin to a professional grader, the grade it receives will rarely reflect what you see from your highly compressed image.
These pictures were taken a while ago. I have figured out how to take better pictures with my phone since then. As for why picture was changed to dime I forgot to rename file so maybe it was overwritten.
