THANK YOU!!! I've wanted somebody to take me by the hand and walk me though this for the longest time, but I've been too embarrassed to ask.

Coin is an 1878-CC Morgan PCGS-MS64DMPL with really pretty original honey/caramel/purple peripheral toning. (Did I just say "pretty"? That's odd, because I'm a dyed-in-the-wool white freak when it comes to Morgans).
The unexpected bonus I discovered when it arrived was, it's a VAM-11 (lines in wing... and there are a LOT of them!), and that's supposed to be fairly scarce in DMPL.
Oh oh... it looks like it worked! Do I pass this class Professor Glenn?
Yes, I did have one bit of trouble: Step #1. When I clicked on Navigation, nowhere on the ensuing screen was there anything even resembling WHSIWYG.
Working with a Mac, this sort of thing happens all the time... so I just ignored it and forged ahead.

The reason you did not see the
<< <i>WYSIWYG editor >>
which stands for "What You See Is What You Get" is because below the word "Navigation:" (the drop down box that allows you to move about different forums easily.) You would need to click on "customize" to find the toggle switch to turn it on or off. By default it is set to off, so you should be ok.
Glenn,
Nice job and very helpfull to many members! I'm not sure why the "HELP" section is not more detailed.

You can post either photos or scans, as long as they're jpeg (or jpg) files. If you're using a scanner, the software should give the option of saving or exporting as a jpg. Most digital cameras have a variety of formats that can be set before you actually take the picture. JPG's are best for posting here; bitmap and TIFF files require much more memory.
