Hi newbie here. I have a few coins that I would like for someone to look at. Is this where I start? Thank you.

 to the Forum, Debs! Yes, this is exactly the right place to ask questions about your coins. When you do, ask about one at a time, and include pictures of both obverse and reverse (we're a visual group!). Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Debs, if you have a smartphone you can take very good pics of coins. Put your phone on something 3-4" or so thick, turn off the flash, set the picture to square, and zoom so that the coin mostly fills the frame. You'll need to reduce the image size, and there are guides posted on the main forum page for this.
Looking forward to your goodies!

Remember - help us to help you... Tell us what you think you see - don't make us guess. Don't be afraid of Pareidolia - it's quite normal. It's a tendency of the human brain to impose order on random noise. It's a deep artifact of evolution - when we were the weakest thing in the savanna, thinking maybe that shape over by the watering hole is a hungry female lion which I should avoid was a big advantage. Even if it was sometimes just the grass waving in the breeze. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |
