I have a 1932 i would like you guys to look at. How do i upload pictures from my phone?

To check it out you will need better images than a phone. Try getting something in the order of 600dpi and use a hosting site such as photobucket and a link.

600 dpi is a complete waste of time on a computer monitor that won't display more than approx 100 at best.

The greater the resolution however the better chance there is of cropping the original image, re-posting it, and still being able to see what's actually there, when someone says 'can we have a closer look at the ribbon!' ;)

Agreed, but that's the absolute resolution. 600 dpi is a relative resolution. So yes, if you start with an image 4500 x 3000 pixels, you can crop it quite a bit, irrespective of the dpi. ;)

If you prefer here than photobucket (which I hate), there is a Pinned topic in the Beginners Area which explains how to resize. I even downloaded Picasa lol, especially for you PC owners, to demonstrate how in a series of pictures.

Thank you. Wat was i doing wrong?

I'm not sure. What I did was to use the href to your PhotoBucket library and then copied the individual picture direct links and inserted them using the image button on the toolbar.

What do you guys think to this? Want to make sure its genuine

Don't know whether it's genuine or not, but the obverse lettering doesn't look right especially the TT in BRITT. (Edit: Unless it's an optical illusion)

The picture is a little blurred in places so not easy to tell much. A good starting point would be to weigh it. Should be 28.30g +/- 0.05g.

have a look at the edge milling, if it is unevenly spaced or crudely done with a file it would be a fake :)

also have a look at the worn high points of the thistle, if they have a look like they have been worn down with a file or anyother seemingly forced wear rather that the normal of a coin again worth having a look at :)

as far as i can go without getting the better pictures
