Peter your are correct. The software is everything. I am using adobe and it works excellent. The only problem is that at times the software I have will do it's own thing and I have to try a different scanner or reboot. We are running Dell equipment and it is excellent no problem computers but at times it gets frustrating with the pictures. Sometimes with I use a different color paper as backround that seems to help somewhat. I agree that if you are going to do an auction you need a good picture and a good description. I think the picture is more important than the description because most of the collectors know what the strike is from the picture. Terms and payment is important. When we get to Laughlin I will have a little more time so I am going to do some different ideas for my coins. The toughest so far has been older copper and high grade silver. Thanks everyone for the fun conversation. Ted
