Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 03/05/2018 12:54 pm If the Rockwell test mark is on the die, it shows as a raised area on the coin. However, the test requires the Rockwell C scale, not 15T (as for the planchets). This necessitates a different shaped indenter which does not leave a hemispherical mark, but a spheroconical shape. https://conecaonline.org/rockwell-h...ncoln-cents/ Edited by Pete2226 03/05/2018 12:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff
