But I couldn't leave ya hangin' now could I....

My overlay says no go for #118.

The problem with the quick-slap-a-bunch-of-lines-on-the-same-part-of-the-image technique is that the images could be taken from different angles (when comparing two images, details on a coin look shorter or wider on one image). This technique is not good for matching mintmark placement since the different angles could make the mintmark appear to be in a slightly different location than it really is. To sum this up, the lines placed on the images do not account for the angle the picture was taken.

Morphing an image to match details on an image that should be the same (ex. the date should be the same size in each image. On Crazyb0's the date is obviously wider in the image to the right.) would account for the angle and give a more accurate comparison.



Note how the overlapping image lines up perfectly with the date and the vest line, but not the mintmark.

Albeit, I have not tried the comparison technique Crazyb0 uses. So, who knows, maybe it does work and mine doesn't.

Also, the die scratches on the reverse of Relwis87's coin do not match the ones pictured for coppercoins #118
