nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 10:56 am Soft dies hammered, That is why obverse is destroyed, some use leather under obv as this absorbs obv damage but still can be seen. The rim and reeding are formed by the collar also original rim would be totally flattened by second/third strike........home made no doubt Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 04/26/2024 4:53 pm That's what I think as well, Mike. Two pieces of leather, soft dies, a large mallet and a sturdy work bench. The leather keeps the metal to metal contact unseen.... at least that's what I think. Report this Post to the Staff
