[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2593971, member: 4373"]A tip that I have when you are trying to feature the underlying element is that you never attempt to take coin photos at an angle. This makes it very hard to compare with another coin unless you have it at the same angle. Because the coin is heavily worn, it is unreasonable to compare coins / tokens of similar weight unless they are similarly worn. If you are ambitious enough, you can attempt to feature this as a gif. I've made one a while back. Turns out I've got the wrong variety of the underlying coin but you get the message. Russian 1704 1 ruble - with suspicious underlying feature [img]http://gxseries.com/dump/1704_1r_1_cut.png[/img] German thaler - sorry I really don't specialize in this field so I don't know what it is [img]http://gxseries.com/dump/dav7731_1.png[/img] Overlaying feature. Note that the coin has been cut from the host coin which makes this very difficult to trace its origin [img]http://gxseries.com/dump/1704_1r_thaler.gif[/img][/QUOTE]
