1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

Well done Daniel. Thanks again for the videos.

I use a droid also.
I haven't been able to resize my images on my phone but I do crop them. FYI- Some sites have size limitations on the images. (800x800 pixels or so)

Some of the closeups I take can get rather large (3200x3200 pixels). so in that case I use a wifi connection to email the images in groups of 5 or 6. Once the images are in my computer I use "Paint" program to rotate or resize them.

(Note: My phone seems to store emails with images attached for some reason until I send out a regular email without attachments. So I have gotten into the habit of sending myself "Email Prompt1" or 2 or 3 to get my phone to actually send the emails with the attached images. Really odd but it works for me.)
