Delist and Replace: 1933 $20 Saint-Gaudens double eagle[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 24 Nov 2015 at 20:27:03 (UTC)

Delist
Replace
Reason
The proposed replacement for the existing images of the 1933 $20 double eagle is higher resolution and, at full size, much sharper and detailed. On the obverse of this Saint-Gaudens double eagle, at Liberty's feet, is a black fiber that would not willingly be separated from the coin. I hope the increased detail mitigates this one flaw. Given that the proposed delist is actually two images, the layout is a bit awkward.

  • Comment - The contours of the current FP are a bit more prominent. They seem almost faded in the suggested replacement, at least at thumbnail size. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:22, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Understood, I just felt that the detail and ability to see texture and artistic work was significantly greater on the proposed replacement (not to mention the replacement is fairly sharp at 100%, where the original seems a bit lacking).--Godot13 (talk) 19:39, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Indeed. What if you were to increase the clarity slider a tad? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:01, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Good suggestion. I will try that and (if it is an improvement) will upload a new version by late Monday...--Godot13 (talk) 03:17, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Chris- Change made, file overwritten, not too much change...-Godot13 (talk) 03:26, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Or just take another pic, from the half roll you have stashed somewhere. Vesuvius Dogg (talk)
            • If Godot's got half rolls of this stashed somewhere, he's certainly not gonna say so. Doubt he wants the Secret Service after him. ;) (check out the article) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:37, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I guess the sharpness does outweigh the thumbnail appearance. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:22, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
