<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2367831, member: 1892"]Stop and rethink what you just posted. Overlays are problematic when you didn't create both images yourself, especially when one or the other image is as imperfect as the OP's. You don't even have a full circumference of the obverse to base size comparisons on, and given the radical difference in wear there's very little else you can trust. At least the full circumference can be assumed to be relatively close to original. Except for the fact that it's in a container, and not lit brightly enough for you to actually see the true edge of the rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you're making subjective judgments regarding size relationships, not even factoring what I've already mentioned about tilted macro images distorting perspective. And it should be intuitive that additional layers of processing complexity offer additional chances for error.
