<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1700394, member: 66&quot;]Back in the fifties and sixties one of the big things seemed to be using the technique to create &quot;1943 copper cents&quot; by fisrt pounding the brass plate onto a steel cent, and then onto a 1942 cent to create what looked like a 1943 cent struck in copper on a previously struck 1942 cent.&nbsp; There were several of them that showed up in the error listings in Numismatic Scrapbook back then.&nbsp; the effect can also be seen on some of the Scott restrike CSA half dollars.&nbsp; He sruck those pieces on 1861-O halves that had had the reverse planed off with ht ecoin face down on a brass plate.&nbsp; The striking caused the plate to become a &quot;false die&quot; from the obverse being struck into it.&nbsp; If the coin was not placed on the plate oriented correctly, the &quot;false die&quot; would create a secondary raised image on the obverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
