Nice coin. Your photos are well executed and cropped, but a bit small to see the surfaces and potential wear.

When you say enlarge, do you mean more zoomed in? I already have set it at max size 300

Not more zoom in but larger overall image size relative to how they fit the screen. You do this by enlarging the size (DPI) of your image file. For example - your obverse image is 139KB overall (file size) and 300 x 282 DPI (image size). You are not even close to maximizing your photos to the CCF limit of 300KB file size. Try 800 x 800 DPI image size at 72 DPI resolution and then use your photo optimizer (I use photoshop) to adjust your level of jpeg compression to get the final image under the CCF 300KB file size limit. Or, stay with 800 x 800 DPI file size and use the CCF image optimizer. Either way works. Make sense? That way we can see a large photo on the screen and offer more informed comments.
