Metal by era and traces of manufacture
A well-documented example is the School-building coin of BE 2483 (1940), his second batch: an oval coin with a saw-cut edge and integral loop, about 8 g, with a side-profile half portrait inscribed "Luang Phor Upatcha Ee" and a yantra ringed by Khmer script on the back.
Coins of this era were stamped and then saw-cut, so look at the saw marks on the edge, the sharpness of the lines and the aged metal surface together.
Luang Phor Ee made many amulets and talismans over different periods; study each batch separately.
In general, metals form natural surface layers in different ways: copper, brass and bronze tend to develop a dark-brown oxide and sometimes green deposits; silver tarnishes brown to black; lead and lead–tin (chin) show white-grey deposits. Students look at whether these layers are continuous and natural between deep recesses and high points. Macro photos can only show whether what is visible is consistent with metal of the period; they cannot state a year of making.
