<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1609538, member: 66&quot;]Interesting.&nbsp; Lots of people know about the 1857 clashes, and I know of a couple of 1868 dual denomination clashes on three cent and shield nickels, but I had never heard of this one.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>One problem with this theory is that if you were going to cycle the press to seat the die, you would NOT want it to cycle against a metal die.&nbsp; To much chance of damage to the die face.&nbsp; You would use a block of wood or something similar.&nbsp; Hard enough force the seating of the die, but soft enough to cushion the impact and protect the die face.&nbsp; I would also expect that the seating of the dies into the die holder would not be that difficult and cycling the press to force it in does not seem practical. (A press fit into the holder?&nbsp; How would you get the die back out when you needed to change it?&nbsp; Remove the entire die holder, put it in another press with no anvil die and use the press and a slightly smaller piston to ram the die back out of the holder?&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t seem practical.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
