<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1327299, member: 11521&quot;]Detecto, I agree the counterfeiter probably struck or pressed a genuine coin (or coins - see below) into the soft lead to produce the die that you have there. What I was trying to convey is that the die that you have there was probably used to cast a counterfeit coin. I hope that is clear. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why would the counterfeiter make a double-sided die? My guess would be that he made a pair of dies (i.e., two dies) so that he could use the two dies to cast a single counterfeit coin. All he would need to do it get two genuine Morgan Dollars, place his lead between the two coins and either strike or press the coins into the soft lead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
