<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 543225, member: 66&quot;]Jon Lusk has been doing this for years (over ten years) with his Numistudy software.&nbsp; It&#039;s only used for half cents and large cents right now but Conder tokens are being added.&nbsp; It autoscales your images to the same size as the ones in it&#039;s reference files, you can specify the same points on the subject and reference coins and it can compare lengths or it can compare it to each variety to give a list of possibilities.&nbsp; You can specify three points and it can compare angles and do overlays so you can see how the angles compare.&nbsp; You can also do fade in and out on the overlays to compare positioning.&nbsp; And alhough it is only made for those series you can build your own reference files so you could adapt it to other series as well.&nbsp; Oh and since errors in the placement of the points could result in mistakes you select an area on the image and it blows it up to full screen so you can place the point very precisely.&nbsp; Makes it very easy to get the points as closely as possible to the exact same place on each coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The downside, although the software is reasonable, just a couple hundred dollars, if you want the data base reference files you are looking at $2K to $6K depending on which or how many of them you want.&nbsp; The reason the reference files are so expensive is because they are professionally done images of the condition census coins for every variety.&nbsp; Not just the CC1 coin but the top six to ten coins[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
