sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 08:17 am It IS possible to ceate a hardened steel penny die, hubbed off a penny coin. Anyone with access to a reasonable machine shop and the necessary skill could do it. That is the process that mints use, except that they use master dies. After that, all you need then is a genuine nickel blank, et voila! Oh, yes! Ask $200 grand + for it on the 'Bay. Who is the seller? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 10:37 am The biggest selling point they missed is that it is slabbed as a die cap. But I agree it is mint assisted. It would not fit into the collar and was struck broadstruck. There are other examples. Report this Post to the Staff
