Interesting, because cast fake dies are more likely to crack or shatter. Probably not too much of a probelem for the faker, if not too many coins are struck from them. I will need to learn up a little more on the manufacture of cast fake dies. Edited by sel_69l 04/24/2015 04:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
Athalbert Pillar of the Community Spain 629 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 09:48 am Sel, You are right... If you use a cast fake die to struck coins on "cold" blanks, The dies rarely will survive to the struck or very few dozens of "coins" but... The point is using cold cast fake dies to struck coins on "hot" blanks, with the temperature grows up, the blank is more easy to struck, you need much less force to strike the blank so the die will survive for several HUNDREDS of coins. This is the same method used by ancients to struck their coins with bronze dies... Report this Post to the Staff
