Is This Coin Cleaned? Pics Added

I can't get the photo under the size requirement by CCF
anyone know how to do it
I gotta go to work so when I get back in like 7 hours I'll try again
this is why I never post pics
I can't get them to a small enough size

I opened a photobucket acct and just linked the pictures here its really easy and dont have to deal with shrinking at all!

hopefully this link works to a photobucket album I just made
3 ok pictures
if nothing else you can see a nice buffalo I found and a 1920 on the other side
niether of those are restored
anyone have any ideas about the black 1925 in the middle

Slash,

I have found a way to take extremely high resolution closeup photos of coins while simultaneously keeping the file size within the CC specs for uploading.

After I take the photo (with a scanner or digital camera) and upload it to my computer, I open up the picture using any graphic program that will maintain the details/integrity of original picture. Kodak Easy-Share and Paint, for example, are a couple of effective programs that I normally use.

Then once I open up the scanned photo with one of the above programs I cut and copy it with 'Snipping Tool' provided with Windows 7.

I then paste it into a Word document. If I want to make the picture smaller for the purpose of increasing the contrast or decreasing the file size, I simply double click on the photo in Word and a toolbar appears that allows me to re-size the photo for the desired result.

Once I have the photo the way I would like to post it on CC, I use the Snipping Tool's rectangular capture tool again to copy and save a picture that will have both very sharp details and an acceptable file size.

Keep in mind that a really nice detailed picture (with a small size) can still be obtained using a high resolution scan (ie: 2400 dpi)but a program like Snipping Tool or equivalent should be utilized during the process since these types of programs are essentially only taking a snapshot of a high resolution scan etc.

In summary all of the above steps will become second nature once you have done them a few times and really do, in my opinion, produce acceptable results in a relatively short time frame.

Here is a closeup example of the 35 of a Lincoln Cent that used the above steps in an attempt to inquire about the existence of a possible DDO:

Good luck

looks like it was dipped in acid

I soak my dateless buffaloes in double strength white vinegar to raise the date. The biggest effect it has on the coin is it leaves it with a matte finish. The date just becomes visible,no noticeable relief to it. Your coin was not dipped,it has too much luster left.
