<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1339939, member: 15019&quot;]So you think I disagree with people just for the sake of disagreeing? That is a really, really, really stupid thing to say. </p><p>If that was true, I&#039;d be on Craigslist forums with all the other yahoos instead of a serious forum like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m saying that a typical die is a flat field with the design that is struck onto the coin incuse on it. Unless, of course, you have a coin where some features are meant to be struck onto the coin incuse (like $2.5 and $5 gold Indians).</p><p>Modern dies are hubbed from a master die. This master die is carved in relief, the fields are the lowest point and correspond to the highest point on the die that is hubbed from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looks at a picture of any US penny, nickel, dime, quarter, etc dies. They do not have any sort of ridges. It is just the fields and design elements incuse into them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can&#039;t get that, then there is no point wasting more time typing at you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
