Thad, here is an academic article on doing such using SEM, sorry but they used a quarter, but easily done for any coin once set up. You might write the author and see if they did any other coins. Also I remember a Thesis by someone on computer coin grading where it was hypothesized that such relative measurements could be used to determine strike and wear, but I forget where I read it online.

if you know any one with CNC software , they maybe able to map a coin ,my suggestion would be several coins from each grade point to get an over all difference of how wear actually affects the die .


Hummm...actually, a friend of mine has a CNC machine. I'll ask him about it. Thanks

You're in Cincy? COOL! I like Hyde Park Rare Coin. If you go there and see Clay, tell him Thad sent you. I also like their Fairfield store, but it's a long way from me. We also have the monthly show, last Sunday every of every month, it's a nice little show.
