to CCF Nicely done jbuck! @ mawasi: you will notice here that you only really got one response to your question - the rest just gave you our Welcome to the site (as I have just done). This is because that you posted too many different coin into one topic - This is something we prefer you do moving forward, is to make a new topic for each coin you want to show us. When posting these coin of yours, please post up both sides of each one, and crop the image to the edge of the coin to maximize the coin size so we can see it better. |

Is it really that hard to take a straight up picture of your coins?

Coins are objects either of value or used to represent value in commerce. They are commonly round and made of metal, but other shapes and compositions are known.
A coin has an identification of the issuer ("United States of America") or a symbol commonly known to represent the issuer (The image of St George slaying the Dragon used on the British Sovereign).
A coin has an identification of the (real or fiat) value. "One Dollar" "Dime" "One Cent" although sometimes the unit is not an actual monetary value (Krugerand).
Thus identification of a "coin" vs. say the knockout from an electrical box is primarily the preponderance of evidence than any specific single characteristic.
Does that help?
