<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8235909, member: 19463&quot;]I continue rephotographing coins to see what I can show that might be of interest.&nbsp;&nbsp; I shot this image to see if anything showed that would make me believe or deny the &#039;sand&#039; patina was real or added.&nbsp; The coin came from a region from which we get both kinds.&nbsp; Looking at it, however, I am reminded of a game we in the photo hobby used to play years ago: &quot;Whatzit?&quot;.&nbsp; The idea is to take macro photos that might be guessed or might stump fellow players.&nbsp; Is this obviously identifiable to those who collect coins of the &#039;sand&#039; versions?&nbsp; Comments on either the authenticity or the identity are welcome.&nbsp; I should point out that the dark corners are the result of the lens not quite covering the full frame.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1448878[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Also here is a more standard &#039;Whatzit? to illustrate the game.&nbsp; If you admit to recognizing it, you may be admitting to your age.&nbsp; If you can name the brand name, there is no hope for you. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1448879[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
