<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3019880, member: 74282&quot;]I very much wish I knew. I remember reading an article in the Celator sometime back where Scott Rottinghaus and others whose names escape me had dies engraved and experimented with hot and cold striking of coins. I think an interesting experiment along the same vein would be to get some good silver replicas(i.e. those from Antiquanova) and attempt to make transfer dies with them and use them to strike new coins, but I don&#039;t know anywhere near enough about metalworking to even try such a thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve attached some photos I managed to dig up of 10 dies found in Tilisca, Romania in 1961. The second image is from Crawford plate LXV which illustrates the die in the first column of the third row along with an apparently solid example from the same obverse die and of good weight from the Maccarese Hoard. Unfortunately I am unable to find my scan of the original publication of&nbsp; the Tilisca find so I cannot find whether or not there were any of the products of this transfer die found along with it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]750573[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]750574[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
