Help wanted: Image analysis of embossed seal.

If anyone has time and would like to help me with a small project…you are hired immediately!

The position I have available is open to anyone and that includes digital forgers such as Great Kim aka Mik Taerg.

Below please find a JPEG of an embossed seal. I’m trying to figure out what it says. The center appears to be a symbol (probably no text other than the world ‘SEAL’ itself) but I’d like to know what the outer circle says.  I’d recommend not spending too much time on the center symbol of the seal because I don’t believe (although I readily admit I could be wrong about this) it will help much with identification other than to possibly signify that this seal belonged to one of the 5000 – 6000 hospitals within the United States of America.

If anyone has the time, energy and digital skill set to help me figure out what the outer circle of the seal says please post your findings in the comments below and thank you.

    I’ve had 20 years of experience with digital image editing tools, and I wouldn’t help you if you life depended on it. No seriously, if saving your life depended on me using Photoshop for just five minutes to check an image out, I would let you die.

    I tried to enhance the image but it can’t be enhanced because the seal image was produced by a seal that was far beyond its useful lifespan. In other words, it was badly worn down from decades of use. The image can’t possibly be read because it did not emboss the paper except slightly, but not readably.

    A few days ago, I was scanning ancient family photos and documents, including birth and death certificates, and the embossing of the true seals back 100 years ago are sharp as a knife, crystal clear and smooth, but the crap used by states that use the kind of device employed in the second version of Obama’s COLB are junk in comparison to a real metal-dye embossing device.
    I suspect that they are programmable, -that the text can be altered digitally or manually to produce a different seal, or else the process that creates them is very cheap, dirty and mechanical, and not the work of a sculptor.

    My reference to the second version of Obama’s COLB was not to the multi-layered PDF image but to the photos taken of a Certification of Live Birth in possession of the 2008 election campaign office in Chicago. That version contained an embossed seal (or I should say “debossed” since it was backwards when read from the front of the page and not the back, -contrary to Hawaiian law) but the original first digital version had no seal impression whatsoever. The second version had to be produced after considered suspicion was raised as to its authenticity, which was non-existent.

    Thank you for trying to help and for explaining more about embossers and how they were made in the past and how they are made today and in recent history.
