Note that these file sizes will vary per coin. For Small and
Medium photos, the height will always be 420 pixels and 620 pixels,
respectively. The width may vary slightly. For Large photos
(which are available for coins the size of a Half Cent and greater,) the
height will be up to 1220 pixels. (For Large Cents, the height will
be approximately 1150 pixels.) All photos are stored at the maximum-quality
JPEG setting for best results. The file sizes per coin should not differ
significantly from the samples above. Some suggested uses for each size are
given below:
Small:
- eBay selling
- Website uses, where the filesizes need to be small
Medium:
- eBay selling (for better coins)
- Closeups needed of details
Large:
- Extremely fine examination of certain details (die cracks, repunched dates, etc.)
- Insurance purposes
- Archiving
- Recommended for submitting to photo-print services for hardcopy blowups

The last year of production for the Shield Nickel. A nice, problem free
specimen with original surfaces and no problems.

A key date Morgan, with nice original surfaces and heavy wear. This is
an example where you can use "Special Instructions" to modify the photo;
in this case, a blowup of the mint mark is shown.

A beautiful, lustrous $5 gold piece. Notice that there are some very minor
hairlines in the lower obverse field on either side of the portrait. These
show plainly in larger photos.

A key date Liberty "V" nickel. The gentleman who let me shoot this coin
told me he didn't realize it had all of the scratches, which are very
evident in the photo.

A choice brown example of this key date in the Lincoln Cent series.
Photo shows that the obverse has a bit better detail in the reverse.

|
The first year of the Peace Dollar. Coin has great detail, but the photo
clearly shows that this specimen has been cleaned.

|
An extremely lustrous example of this classic type, with a hint of
golden toning on both sides. No problems to speak of.
