Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 12/12/2017 4:27 pm I have noticed many questions regarding error coins (mainly die clashes)where an overlay would be extremely helpful. A few members have posted a few on a few threads that have indeed helped identify an error in question. I have searched for a software program that enables the user to do this with coins but haven't had much luck. Maybe I'm not wording it correctly in the search box, who knows. Anyway, I was able to find a few pictures overlays of coins that I would like to post here as well as other members to add to it as I haven't found all that may be needed. Maybe some of you do have software that has the ability and if so, I urge you to upload as many as possible. I feel that it would be a fantastic learning tool for those just starting out as well as for the seasoned Numismastic. So, I'm going to upload what I have found. Moderators: Please move this to the appropriate forum if I failed to place it correctly and or let me know if you do not approve of this thread. Thank you As you can see, many more are needed, such as dimes, State Quarters, etc.. There are a bunch of State Quarters as well as other coinage which may make it difficult if not impossible or even impractical for that matter, to show them all. So your input on this would be appreciated! Edited by Tootallious 12/12/2017 7:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 01/19/2018 2:23 pm @Mrzllewellyn, that looks pretty darn good! I cannot find a worrthly app for my IPad that does overlays and the apps that I've installed on my Windows laptop I can't seem to figure out how to use properly to do the overlays. The pictures of the one I've listed here I've copied. So I'm always looking online for new ones to add. Thank you for your addition! Sel_691, that's a great idea! I never thought to use them to determine fakes. Thank you for that insight! Edited by Tootallious 01/19/2018 2:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
