[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2609211, member: 4781"]No, I did not state that. Among other things, you inserted the word "destroy" in your commentary so as to sensationalize it. But it is false. Back in 2010 I had an extra step in the process which flattened the host coin [I]somewhat [/I]prior to the over-strike. But that was not to "destroy" the host coin. It was to make it easier to over-strike because earlier steps in the process typically resulted in the coins being bent. The "flattening" was actually more of a straightening process. But this straightening wasn't necessary as it turned out, and I stopped doing that process several years ago. Note that even after that mild flattening, most of the original design details were still visible. And it is obvious on the "1964-D" over-strike Peace Dollars that some of the original host coin details remain.[/QUOTE]
