Someone there may be able to identify where in India your coin comes from.

Amit,
You should download this FREE photo editor; http://www.photoscape.org ,which will help you with editing your photos,including combining the obverse & reverse photos in the same frame.It is linked to your 'My Pictures' section on your computer.

I always edit both individual photos,including lightening the item,levelling the item in the photos,& sharpening the details,as well as cropping the background,then I combine them.

The camera icon is what you click on to help upload photos directly from 'My Pictures'.It is best to create several folders,& use the title of what the item is as the file name,along with the indication of whether it is the obverse or the reverse before combining the photos.Once you combine the photos,you don't need the obverse & reverse indication.

For example; The photos of the Indian 1947 1 Rupee would be saved as 'India19471RupeeObverse' & 'India19471RupeeReverse' in JPG format.After the photos are combined,the new name should then become 'India19471Rupee'.

Use a black sheet of paper on the scanner after you put the item on the glass.

Aidan.

Hi Amith ,
Saw your coin , I dont think it is Punch mark coin , because it is corroded much it appears like ..that .
No features visible on obverse , so difficult to judge ..
