<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 26543814, member: 3926&quot;][USER=104064]@KBBPLL[/USER] - I have never been able to confirm with absolute assurance where/when in the die making process denticles are added to the coin design. At this time I lean towards the theory that during the reduction process the reduction lathe leaves a solid raised ring around the outer boundary of the series&#039; master hub and then the denticles were added by hand engraving them into the ring. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I am thinking off the cuff. During the die squeezing process certainly the depth of the squeeze was somehow mechanically controlled by some adjustable method. Coin design devices tend to tamper down to the face. Therefore the shallower the pressing/squeezing not only would produce a lower relief coin but also a design that was slightly smaller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
