Anyone able to zoom in on the reverse letters of my Franklin ?

gil

The pic of the real liberty bell is wonderful but I wanted a tight shot of the letters on the coin. i do not have a scanner able to pick them up, well enough. They are readable thru my loop.

Any help would be great.

I wanted a nice clear view of all the wording on the bell

Gil: I don't think that's your coin. I think that's a picture of the real bell up in PHL????

gil

Yup I realized that too after I took a second look. I was hoping I could get a zoom in from the pic of my coin.

Gil,

You have to start out with a clear photo with high resolution, in order to enlarge it clearly. Here is a blowup of the words:




Notice that it gets more blurry as it gets larger.

I hold a loupe in front of my digital camera and it allows me to show some great detail, even with cropping and enlarging:





Good luck!

Kranky,

Can I use your pic as my symbol?!? It's great and I am a BIG Franklin Fan!

I found the image on the National Park Service site, so I don't see why you couldn't use it.
