<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 24483756, member: 77639"]I wonder how they do this in mints. Appears serial number is stamped into the planchet at same time coin is struck rather than before or after striking. Have seen something similar in old French medals where a person’s name is part of the design (see pic below). Each medal has a different name. I’m guessing there is a rectangular hole in the lower die where a sub-die with a serial number, person’s name, etc. can inserted. Anyone know for sure?</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1549550[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
