[QUOTE="wrexx, post: 4984620, member: 114968"]What I would really like is some help with how do I take a picture of this coin so one of you might recognize some detail and point me in the direction of identifying if this is actually even a coin and if so what type. I have spent days trying to figure out how to photo it. microscope camera, phone, regular camera, light no light and even tried the paper and pencil transfer. Nothing has seemed to work. I just do not have enough coin knowledge for something about the coin to point me in the right direction and i have spent countless hours looking at coins on line trying to match anything to something with no luck. I thought the raised part was most likely a bust but seems like the vast majority face the other direction. Thought lion or same creature as on a three or six pence but I just do not know.. Has what appears to be either the letters RMC mid back reverse I'm guessing. I'm totally frustrated that I cant get even get a barely good picture to show what little I can make out. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
