<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2692849, member: 112&quot;]Yes, a small amount of metal must flow outwards to fill the legends, from the portion of the fields closest to them. But some of the legend metal comes from the blank spaces between the letters and the protected areas of the letters. As for the rim, much of the metal for the rim is already there as a result of the upsetting. The upsetting is done for that very reason in fact because if it wasn&#039;t done the rim would never be filled. The metal for the reeds comes most from the blank spaces in between the reeds.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line the vast majority of the metal flows inwards, not outwards.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes of course, it&#039;s the exact opposite of a relief design. With relief the fields get thinner, with incuse the fields get thicker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
