Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 03/18/2020 7:13 pm @mw88, perhaps the best way is with an overlay. Then you can see what details from one side orient to the (upside-down) details on the other side.

Moosieweed88 Valued Member United States 135 Posts	Posted 03/19/2020 01:03 am What I had trouble with understanding is if the Y is raised on a coin so it is incuse on the die so how does it end up incuse on the reverse? Wouldnt it be raised? Report this Post to the Staff

That effects the other die as it would a normal planchet but a lot less sense it's a harder metal then the die strikes the next planchet leaving the reverse of the die clash marks on the planchet Report this Post to the Staff

Leaving the overlay slightly different. The overlay is to show the position of the dies when they are clashed together normally. On the newer images, I sorted the Memorial dies according to the RDV numbers. (what years they cover) For example note this one is RDV-004 1974-1985. While these all look alike when you see them posted separately, they all match the time/reverse die variety that were used during those years) Why I never thought of before to do this is beyond me?
