    You take the images into photo edit and under properties you can choose to "RESIzE" take them down to about 300 pixels per cm. Another trick is upload one then save and go back into edit and then the files will have been reduced and you can add others

    I suppose it has one advantage it saves having to watch football....but then I am a man that watches paint dry most days . I suspect someone will develop an app one day soon that counts teeth

    The One Dollar : I am only adding high quality images because as good as Rogers is some of the images are pretty weak

    apologies wrong A or V
  14. DrLarry
    I have a repunched V high in the field which might explain some of these bars across the V but down the other end
  15. DrLarry
    Does anyone know the rarity of the 1854 half penny V over inverted A ?

    The Ten Dollar please remember that these coins produced in Germany in 1880 by L Ch Lauer are 12 MM to 14mm and would have initially been mass produced for each country in the series . I find the quality remarkable

    The American USA series are pretty rare here is a full set but without the 5 cent piece I have the Flying Eagle cent which is mentioned but without images in Rogers . The set goes from one cent to 20 Gold Dollars copper in the cent and 2 cent zinc , zinc coated iron and Brass for the gold 1 dollar, 2.5 dollar; 3 dollar; 5 dollar Ten dollar and 20. There is also a trade Dollar

    Coin G V over V interesting ( for me !) a second V is partially struck way into the field . I suppose it is hard to know where to start when laying in a legend . this coin is another of the "comma colon group" and there is a filled colon after F D . There are multiple attempts to put in the inner circle broken and repaired in several places. On the reverse the first 1 in the date is an overstrike

    Coin E raised area to the left of the portrait
  24. DrLarry
    reverse of Coin F also has an 8 over an 8
  25. DrLarry
    Coin F the obverse shows well the curly letters style most of the bases show this flourish , I am not sure of the significance but the signature is set clear between the bust and the teeth , however clearly above it is the previous remnants of the signature set higher on the bust. Perhaps this is nothing unusual but I would appreciate your opinions. I am assuming an obverse F . Could you tell me was the signature applied with a re cut stamp separate to the main design ? if so this is likely just a repeat strike error done by the die setter. I do not understand why the garter HONI SO decoration is so badly cut the engraving seems so "amature" and the undercut of the portrait seems to be an after thought. In this example this area is significantly "lower" looking as if it has been ground to remove something and this seems to have weakened the die leading to a die fracture. nice die clash I have just noticed back of the portrait. Once again these curly letters are replaced often overstruck by the square more robust legend stamps. I am sure this offers us no additional chronology of the use of these dies as I am ure older dies that survived would have just been refashioned at later times in this initial phase
