Note; All my photos here are from photobucket, my reference to "what I'm unable to post here" is the higher resolution microscope photos that end up as small photos when posted here, with no option of zooming in on important details... This is why I suggested the email route that gives the viewer the option to zoom in...

Don't know what you could possibly mean. Pixels are pixels and 99% of members monitors here are 96 DPI/PPI. That doesn't change with the resolution of the image. Anyways, my offer still stands, I have zero problem shooting through slabs, in fact with my setup you'll never look at PCGS MS65 the same again. |

The problem could be with the device. If using a USB Micoscope, the pictures can often be small unless you use the screen capture method to save them (alt + ctrl + print screen buttons). If the software you have does not allow options for zoom, try doing a screen capture and then go to a program like MS paint and paste it. That way you can completely marginalize any settings the microscope and software comes with.
Wow Bobby, I don't generally slab coins, but your MS65 photo means that I've been under-grading some of my coins all along. Thanks! =)

The one problem I had was the USB Microscope I used a on my computer a few years ago was not compatible with the new laptop I purchased 2 years ago... I had given my old computer to my daughter when I purchased the laptop, and when I tried to post some microscope photos in this forum, I had to re-install the program in my daughter's computer and take some photos... To access the photos taken, I then opened up my GMail email account on my daughter's computer and emailed the photos to myself (this is confusing), I then logged in my email account on the laptop and saved the photos in my windows photo album (!!)... After that, I signed into my photobucket account and uploaded the photos to that account so I could post them here... When I posted the photos in the "Quick Reply" message and went to "Preview Reply", the photos were so small that even I couldn't locate the details clearly enough and didn't bother posting the reply... On my laptop I have the option of zooming in on the photos, whereas the photos here from my photobucket account didn't give me that option...
Numismat's advise above may help others, but he lost me at the multiple screen buttons and I have no clue what MS paint is...
It should be noted that I'm a old analog guy stumbling through the digital age... When my son-in-law gave me the "Windows for Dummies" guide, I replied that it's way to advanced for me and asked if they have a "Windows for @ssholes" guide to get me started...

Quote:if they were non-reputable as suggested above, why would the latest Cherry Pickers Guide, forwarded by Q.David Bowers allow them to continue to advertise their services if they believed the grading service would do more harm then good... It is called "conflict of interest", Bill Fivaz is a consultant for SEGS so of course he would allow a SEGS ad in the CPG. That does not necessarily make them more reputable and accurate though. Yes, you can find good coins in SEGS slabs but you have to carefully scrutinize them for problems and misattribution because they can be a bit sloppy at times. |

I knew J.T.Stanton was employed at PCI when I contacted him to inspect my 1943 DDO Quarter when NGC refused to place the said variety on their holder (coin is posted in the USA variety forum)... As mentioned above, I became very concerned when the turn-around time exceeded the normal time-line and was advised that my error coins had been taken to a coin show in Chicago, for what I can only assume was multi-opinions prior to slabbing as genuine... In the meantime I continue to focus on clearer close-up photos... |

MS paint is Microsoft paint - if you are using windows it will be under Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Paint
To save a full size image as it shows on your screen just hold down the alt and ctrl buttons to the left or right of the space bar and press the "prt sc" or "print screen" button that is at the top right on most keyboards, next to the home, delete, insert buttons. You can then paste the image into a program like paint or any more advanced imaging program like Photoshop.
