Pretty close to VF-20, not sure if that's a 'MAD' or the way the pic was taken.

That looks like a small lamination on the coat. I hate to say it but that coin looks like it was dipped in tomato paste or some such thing.

VF-20, once again, the obverse MAD distracts.

Definitely not cleaned. Just poor lighting from the camera operator (me).

I think photos are exceptional - what did you use, scanner? Digital camera?

Digital camera. Still learning from the photography forum. Lighting and a stationary setup is next.

Pictures in this thread with a 14Meg Kodak.

I just switched to using a 12 megapixel Canon. Believe this is the camera that I will stay with. Has ALL of the necessary adjustments to take very high quality pictures.

I so wish this was from a roll search. Actually purchased this one about 20 years ago. Was the nicest 31 S that I could find AND afford at the time.

#1 was purchased about 5 years ago.

...and recently upgraded to a very nice MS63 Red (old PCI holder - would probably go MS64 if submitted again).

I love my old Canon 6MP SD700IS. It's really not about how many megapixels, it's about the lens, adjustments and lighting. Your pics are looking better and better acloco! Now, to get you off that dreaded photobucket. Host your pics on the forum, that way they stay around forever. You already meet the image file size criteria, in fact, you can go a bit bigger since your only at 72k. The forum allows up to 100k.
