What's the best (or easiest way to include a picture in the body of a text reply or thread in this forum. None of the tools seem to allow a simple photo to add to my texts. I even tried dragging directly from my desktop and it doesnt transfer to the text body. Please help a technically challenged old guy here. Thanks...

In reply mode, if you have a URL for the photo, click on that little picture frame next to the underline button. If you want to include a photo you have on your computer, go here, create an account, and upload photos there. Copy the link they give you for photos and follow step in first sentence.

Create a photobucket account, upload photo's you have, and copy the bottom link (of four) called "IMG Code", and then paste that link to the thread.

Hope this helps.

with Stone. Go to Photobucket.com and sign up for a free account and upload your pictures there...then follow what Stone said....when you click on the IMG code of the photo you want to post in the PCGS boards...it would highlight briefly and say: Copied.
Then you go back to your message box here on the PCGS boards where you have your text and click on the Picture frame Icon you see on your upper right hand corner ...click on the picture frame icon and a box will open thats where you right click and paste the IMG code from your Photobucket account. It gets easier when you do this a couple of times.

Good job. The coin itself looks like you might have popped it out of a belt buckle, though.

Hey thatboyaintright, for the record, did you open a Photobucke account, upload an image and post it
in 13 minutes?
That would be important to know for some of the newbs & lurkers.

Blindedbyego-

This was my first VERY bad purchase when I started collecting again after a 15 year break. How do you like the polish buildup in the recessed areas ????

I actually bought it from "widow " on ebay liquidating her late husbands coins. I won't fall for that one again. carolinaduke is on my blocked list forever. Luckily it was only
$30.00 mistake .

Swampboy-

Yes, 13 minutes...... Is that a record ??? Very easy to do, considering I'm not a computer guy. The site asking for my cell # kind of scared me for a second but I took a chance.

Post looks good, now the coin I have some like that to worth silver. I think we all have some like that.

no need to sign up at tinypic.com...no size limit b.s. either

These can back as MS 63 , What am I missing here ? Or should I just give up on buying raw until I learn more, I was sure they were 64 of better.

Possibly all the tiny little nicks in the fields along with the slice to the right of the arrows on the reverse? That rim hit at 4:30 can't be a good thing either.

The strike looks a little weak right above her ear and the flaw right across from her chin is probably what killed it. The photograph appears to minimize that flaw.
