In a reply to a letter i got on the general group a brilliant idea came
to mind ...
i replied something to the affect of putting my two cents in... and well
...
i am half way there ... ( the easy half )
I'm afraid ol` Lincoln and his monument are going to be quite a task and
any help would be most graciously appreciated and most wonderful...
thanks...

Seeing that horrid image posted by Simon yesterday got me thinking..
Back at elementary school we used to xerox our faces, producing fine art
with a very characteristic look. Now, if that light had a somewhat
linear falloff, you'd get a pretty good hf of your face.

With Lincoln you better borrow a bust from your local museum, cause I
doubt the coins have adequate embossing to produce this effect.

  At one time I found some coin collecting sites on the Web and they had
adequate images of many coins and denominations. I was able to create a
bump map coin and one could make out the face but the lettering was
barely readable.

The US Mint has some good online images that I have used for making coins
with using bump maps.

Thank You, Could Send/Post Me Some Examples ( Bump Map Is Not Something I

Remember.. Oh Well Guess I Will Keep Searching...

I think the "D" is too big, but I'm not sure.

No mention of a copyright on this pages penny photos but might be implied anyway
so not sure of it's public usability (wheat ear reverse too).
Another front side only is at: http://members.aol.com/RVSNorton/Lincoln14.html
Best example maybe, with memorial:

Though I can't imagine you could bump map any penny picture too well since the
lighting on them never corresponds to the actual surface heights.
