flying_teapot Valued Member Russian Federation 417 Posts	Posted 10/17/2018 1:20 pm Why I'm saying master die - letters and everything other look rised. As a crazy idea it can be rounded piece of metal with a dime in center, and mirrored photos, but it's too stupid idea to make this Edited by flying_teapot 10/17/2018 1:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21597 Posts	Posted 10/17/2018 1:33 pm Not quit sure what it is but it's not a master die. The devices would be incuse on a master die and it would be made from rolled stock, not a flat piece of metal. Your idea of a dime with a mirror image sounds more feasible if you have not seen this in person. Report this Post to the Staff
1796NoPole Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 10/17/2018 2:39 pm That's not a die. A die is a cylinder, not a disc. This is either a hub trial or, more likely because it has a date and mintmark and comes from Russia, a good old Vise Job. A "selfie" of a dime on a metal disc is also very feasible, most likely intended to deceive. Report this Post to the Staff

A cylinder looked at straight down form the end looks like guess what, a disc. From the lighting the rims appear to be higher than the fields, and when I enlarge the image I think I can see reeding at the edge. I think it is a reversed image of a dime sitting on a piece of metal. Report this Post to the Staff
