Here is a link for help on the site for image posting:
https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...g-images.asp

Best to have a camera with a macro lens in it. Take the image and edit it.

Then post the image to the site.

Picking a topic in the correct area:

Why Topic Titles are Important

The title of your topic is very important. Let's say you need help attributing an 1896 Morgan dollar....

You should include the date, mintmark, and the denomination in your titles.

· Horrendous: Help!

· Bad: Need help with coin

· Better: Need help with Morgan Dollar

· Good: Need help with 1896 Morgan Dollar

· Awesome: Need help with VAM on 1896 Morgan Dollar


This enables the members with expertise pertaining to your question to easily find and answer your question. The title of the topic also becomes the title of the topic's web page, which enables us to attract more collectors to the site. The more members we have, the more we learn.

Anything else, ask. All are here to help you or assist any way they can. (We do that here. We are a coin family)

Need extra normal coin images?

When you look at the PCGS site, there is a section called "COINFACTS".
http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/
When you click on that area it will show you coins of what ever year you need to compare with. It shows three grades. Red, Red Brown and brown. On the same site there is a grading guide that is helpful also. From the home page click on resources on the top title bar. On the lower part of the page you see another box below called "Grading resource". Click on Photograde
https://www.PCGS.com/photograde/
Then find the type of coin you want to search, and there is a grading system that grades according to coin circulation wear from 70 to 1. &0 the best grade, MS (Mint State Range to MS-60) then the circulated grades. But keep in mind if your coin has a scratch/dent/hole in it/edge damage it doesn't qualify. The coin need to be free from blemishes. Other wise it is just a cull. Worth about 90% less than the graded price ranges in other books. You might enjoy it.
