Answers to a Couple of your questions. Something to try to help with your pictures and your member contact question.

I am not the greatest with taking and posting pictures but I'm learning. I'm not sure if this will work with a scanner but it works pretty well with digital cameras. You can try getting a picture editing program. I use "Adobe Photoshop Album". After the pictures are loaded in to your computer then transfer them to the Photoshop program. After you have them in the photoshop you can edit them by cropping the original photo and adjusting the light levels etc. After you crop the original they will be small enough to transfer to the Collectors Society. It's not quite as easy as it sounds but with a little practice it works rather well. I've got about 94% of my coins pictured so far. Of course I've got to go back and do a few over again because of my lack of photography skills but I'll get there eventually.

To contact members of the Collectors Society you have to go through the Collectors Society web site. You can not send a reply through your email. Go to the Home Page of the member that you are trying to contact and find the header that says "send message" or "contact member" and click on one of those, then you can send a message to that person.

I hope some of this helps you out,

Mike

This is my recently acquired 1909-S Indian. The picture is a little fuzzy but it will work for now. I'll fix it after I get the rest of my coins photographed.
