​​I already told you in the previous edition of this thread. I think it was my mistake. It is rare only in this country, in other words, that coin is dead fro circulation.

​​I can understand it. it is quite common for small countries. For example, here, in Georgia, impossible to get UNC 50 tetri 1993 coin. YOu must to buy it on Ebay or somwhere else :)

​​I'm trying to get a type set of all Spanish silver and bronze types from between 1869 and 1937; and I can say the Spanish type collection isn't very consistent (for example there is no 2 peseta coin for the 3rd head of Alfonso XIII, and there is only a 50 Centimos coin for the 5th head of Alfonso XIII (1910)). Very confusing and frustrating when you learn you spent all day asking for a coin that doesn't exist.

​​

​​To make the photos of your coins look larger, you must photograph the coin as close as close as possible so that it fits the space or at least look larger and selecting and increasing. Hope that helps.

Citação: "Dato Mikeladze"​its scanned and cropped maximally , but image is small in the post.
​
​Maybe I must choose another format of image ( not JPEG ? )

​Note that photos are small in posts, but after you click them they are enlarged. Then again you can click right mouse button on that enlarged version and choose the option "open in new tab/new window" from the popup menu. Sometimes you can see much larger picture in this way.

​​Dato, in a previous post you said your pictures are scanned. What's the resolution when you are scanning? I think most scanners have a default setting of 300 dpi. It's quicker but the pictures are smaller. I always use 600 dpi for scanning coins, even 1200 dpi when I want to show a detail of a coin, but then the speed is to slow to use it as default setting.

Citação: "alfonz"​My new coins from the last 2 weeks where mainly additions to my ruling portrait collection. Also some other historical coins.

Citação: "nthn"​When I scan in 1200 dpi, it is very blurry, even more than 300 dpi. This has happened with two different $200 all-in-one printers. Am I doing something wrong?

​​Can you provide a picture of what you mean by "printer"? (E.g. by googling the brand in Google Images.)
​
​I use my iPad Air which makes great photos. I sometimes even see details that I missed with a magnifier.

Citação: "sc.rednek"​I've been trying to get one of each major design of circulated non-gold US currency (a few still in the mail that I will probably picture here as they arrive, and then 13? types left), probably should change my goal to 1805-10 or newer, since I'm not rich enough for the 1790's types.
​
​Today the post office said the 1821 capped bust dime I bought arrived, and the 1834 capped bust quarter was still 5 days out. But I got the quarter today, and there's no dime, so I'm confused... quite rural here so no local coin shops, anything older than modern circulating I have to find online and roll the dice on what I actually get
​
​To keep my price range (quarters are much rarer and more expensive than the half dollars like the previous 1830 half I posted in this thread, just fyi if you're not familiar with the capped bust series) I had to pick between a hole, or so worn you couldn't see details. I chose condition over holed. And it doesn't add anything to the value, but the rotation of the dies is about 20 degrees off the correct 180, easy to see from the position of the hole. Ignoring the hole it's good condition for my collection, and since I'm not collecting for resale value but for my own satisfaction, this example makes me happy :) I believe it's the "O over F" reverse variety
​

Citação: "CassTaylor"​If I'm not wrong, the Capped bust series' quarter is really elusive (at least for me); I've been able to get my hands on the 5 cents, 10 cents and 50 cents, but no quarter yet.​

Citação: "Cycnos"​I bought this "ugly" (and blurry :s) lot today : about 140 coins for 280 USD...
​
​
​
​Coins too damaged to be identify : 20% (plus one button from Mallorca)
​1951-1980 : 3 coins
​1901-1950 : 3 coins
​1801-1901 : 2 coins
​1701-1800 : about 15% of the lot
​1601-1700 : about 35% of the lot
​Feodal and royal : about 15% of the lot
​Roman nummus : 5 coins
​Other (celt ?) : 3-4 coins
​
​10 silver coins, the rest in cooper/bronze.
​The price may seem expensive, but some coins are really scarce and well preserved (they are just a bit moody...)

Citação: "Camerinvs"​AH 1143, you say?
​1143 X 0.03 (i.e. 3%) = 34.29 → closest round number is 34
​1143 ─ 34 = 1109
​1109 + 622 = 1731 CE
​They used the name Islambul instead of the more common Qustantiniyya on coins for Istambul. Not yet in the catalogue; I hope you'll add it. Very nice. I like the "minimalist" approach...

​​I didn't know there was a mathematical formula for that, I normally take out a book and find the corresponding date on a chart.
