Better coin picture suggestion etiquette

5 posts
Getting into some sort of swing of things here, I can see the work that goes into making new listings, gathering info and creating images etc.

If one has a better picture for a listing, is it kosher to just suggest your own without offending the work of the original up-loader?

I've got great Cameo Proof pictures for a listing that has a normal-issue photos shown.

Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but work invested is work invested.

Thanks in advance.

Generally you don't mind about that. A better picture is a better picture.
Also, if it is a Numista copyright picture you can't replace it. It is a little silly when the coin you have is in a better grade but there you go.
I've managed to replace Numista images before, such as here: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1916.html
That is kinda common sense though.

Generally if I find a coin that's worn I'll upload it if there is no picture because anything is better than nothing isn't it !

But yes, any opportunity you get put a better picture up ! :)
Thanks guys. Just uploaded 'em.

We just got a Cameo Proof of a Swiss 20 CHF Globi commemorative.  It's interesting that with so much mirror-finish ya gotta take the photo dead on, otherwise background stuff gets reflected into the final image (lighting, etc).  A tad Photoshop to edit out the dust artifacts and poof.  ;)
