    Will the TrueViews of our graded coins be uploaded on CoinFacts at the show, or the weekend after?

    They’ll go online after the show. We tried uploading directly from shows this past year, but it tied up all the bandwidth for the rest of our operations.

    What is the raw average megabyte size of a coin photo?

    The sizes varies of course, they seem to range from 6 to 10mb each shot. Each coin has at least 3 images associated with it: the obverse, reverse and the certificate number itself. Of course a lot of the time I take more than these shots (but I may be pressed for time and rush through it), and sometimes I take a lot of shots if a coin is giving me a hard time. It translates to a lot of images taken in a day, especially a day like this past Wednesday here at our Vegas show when I shot 900 coins that day.

    Wow! Thats makes for VERY robust need for digital storage space. Thanks for the information!
