This is a research website which does not trade numismatic pieces. The author is not dedicated to the website entirely and it not involved in piece trading.

Photo contribution

	If you wish to contribute with a photograph for reference purpose, you can send it by email at the address shown before. The preferred file format is JPEG (or PNG) with low compression, and high resolution. Generally it's not easy to photograph coins minted with other metal than silver or have a Proof or shiny surface. Some guide for the photographs are: Scanned image (preferred): Resolution of 200-300 DPI (or more). This method is the best for banknotes and most cases of coins. Digital Photo: Resolution of 1024 pixels of width that may be taken using a 3 Megapixels or more digital camera. This method is not recommended because the piece shape is generally distorted, the brightness is not uniform, and the flash may washout the colour. This requirement helps this website to show as possible the best quality photo reference.
