I have the chance to pick up a few morgan and Peace dollars, all are g-f, no semi-keys, what is a reasonable price to pay. *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I'm picking up some Peace dollars later today, and I'm going to be paying $15 each. Siler dollars will almost always fetch a bit more than melt, good luck. |

Picked up 9 Peace dollars & 27 W.L. Halves today, nothing to sneeze about. My attempt to load pictures a fail. Never, ever have I been on a forum, that was this difficult to post pictures. I used to post pictures on here all the time. I know I'm not alone, for I see posters on here all the time complaining. Edited by thecoinguy1964

I'm not Facebook. I don't have the budget to allow people to upload 4MB images right out of their phone like like they do. It's also pretty nasty to make people on data plans download these massive unnecessary images. I tried having the software compress big images during upload once and the members screamed like I was torturing their children. Even on my phone it only takes like 20 seconds to crop and resize an image. Less than that on my PC. I've said it time and time and time and time again, images can be perfectly fine under even 200KB let alone the 300KB we allow because people screamed. This image is under 160KB, 800 pixels across, and there is nothing you can't see for the purposes of this forum. You can grade it, identify varieties, whatever you want.  You want to check the date? Just crop it, it's not hard once you take 5 minutes to learn how. Under 80KB...  |

Well there's well over 100 images uploaded every single day with no issues or complaints.

I take pics with my phone and then send it to my email.
Save the pic to my computer.
Post on the website with no problems.
Then delete the picture since I don't need it anymore.
Is it more than I need to do, probably so, but, I know it works!

I find it pretty painless. Maybe it's the save / download / go find it process that hurts the most for some. The only glitch worth mentioning is that after I crop or whatever, the size displayed is often (always?) not the actual size, so when I go to upload it I get the "too big" error. I've gotten in the habit of just editing the image width as part of the procedure, like from 1205 to 1200, and then the saved size is always small enough. I'm still on Windows XP; not sure if that matters. For example, this one I just took with my phone, emailed to myself, downloaded on my desktop from email, dragged to image optimizer, cropped, saved, downloaded, uploaded to CCF, in 4 minutes. The original is 2 MB, when I cropped it the optimizer said it was 167.5KB, the downloaded image was actually 522KB (too big), the width was 678, I backspaced off the 8 and put 8 back in (678 again), downloaded and it is now 108KB, uploaded here. So that's a detailed explanation of the sizing glitch I see, and like I said I've just gotten into the habit of editing the width just to save that (minor) aggravation. Hope it helps, Bobby. I appreciate all the work you do on this site.  |

Bobby, perhaps one of the members could put together a YouTube video tutorial showing the steps to upload a picture file to CCF. That would be a good way to show people who are "visual" learners and don't do well with reading written instructions.

My apologies for not being as proficient as some of you, at posting pictures on here. I've been a member on here for probably 10 years, and the bottom line, it used to not be so difficult to post pictures on here, that's all that I know. I know I'm not alone.

You're not alone, thecoinguy1964, no matter what some here want you to believe.

With no disrespect, I have in some frustration turned to an outside source to prep my pics for upload - http://www.online-image-editor.com/A bit of experimenting with coins and paper money to determine optimal sizes, and then saving the re-sized images back to my computer, has yielded perfect results every time.

There are many of us that are older and/or less technologically advanced as you, Coinfrog and we just don't know where to seek out and learn these 3rd party solutions. It shouldn't be so hard to post a photo as it is here.
No disrespect or offence to anyone here, it simply shouldn't be so difficult to complete such a simple task.
