I'm trying to put up a scan of a .999 silver 4 1/2 oz. Illinois Sesquicentennial medal from the Medallic Art Co. of N.Y. issued back in 1968 and the thing is so big that I can't get the pic under 50kb for the life of me! AAARRRGGGHH!!

MoJo,

The 50k restriction is only for pictures uploaded to the PCGS website. If you store your pictures elsewhere, they can be any size you like. Most web service providers give you a few megs of space for a personal website. Any good FTP program will allow you to upload your pictures to your own space and link them here. Hope that helps.

mojorizn: I also have a set of Medallic Art Co. antique-finish silver medallions that my grandfather bought for me many years ago.

They were commissioned from Salvadore Dali, and are of the 12 Tribes of Israel. They are quite beautiful !!

I thought the Medallic Art Co. was in Danbury CT.. They were in '75, maybe they moved.
