Message:: [QUOTE="Numismat, post: 1315882, member: 15019"]Talking to your mirror again? You basically just repeated what a bunch of people here were saying to and about you in that ICG slabbed "dropped filling" coin post. And, with putty you get the same effect, that's actually a good way to demonstrate it. It's physics, not imagination.You wouldn't make that mistake if you actually try things out before suggesting it to other people.Sheesh. :foot-mouth: Yes I read it, and as I mentioned it depends on the coin. If you have design elements that are struck incuse then it can happen, as with the spaces between the rim denticles on that IHC. But when you have all parts of the design in relief the clash will be incuse. If you think about from the point of pure physics, it makes sense. The image is reverse transferred each time, from one die to another it goes from incuse to relief, and from the die to the coin it goes back from relief to incuse. The raised dots on the coin in question are little areas in relief among the incuse denticles. For a clash, both will show on a coin as they would on the die. I previously mentioned $2.50 and $5 Indians as an example where clash marks would show in relief, because the coins are struck from dies that have the features in relief.[/QUOTE]
