<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 623466, member: 66"]Technically, No. Recutting mean to cut away part of the die to strengthen the image using engraving tools. Repunching means to strengthen the design by use of a punch with no cutting or removing of metal from the die. Unfortunately most people tend to use the two terms interchangably. The US mint has done almost NO recutting since the first couple of years. Almost EVERY case where something on a US coin is called "recut" it is actually repunched.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
