That's better. Put them all into one thread.

Now take still pictures instead of a video shot. The moving image makes it difficult to see the coin clearly, and this is exacerbated by the fact that the important bit (the coin) is only a couple percent of the total image area. Most of the available space is wasted.

Crop the image almost to the edge of the coin, join the pictures together and you will have a non-moving image of both sides that is possible to examine. At present, it is impossible to comment on any coin because a 20 second video only gives 8 or so seconds per side for the viewer to try and follow a randomly moving spot in the middle of the video.

When people scrutinise coins, they are looking for both good and bad points. That can only be done with a stable image and may take minutes to consider. Mobile technology is a wonderful thing (or so I have been told), but convenience usually comes at a cost, which in this case renders close examination of the coin impossible.
