Modern die sets are reproduced using CNC (? too lazy to look it up) machines, lasers, etc. What I wish to find out is if there was a time when die sets were "hubbed" in batches say from 1870's to 1950's rather than hand-cut. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some members on CT insist that only one, single, unique "D" shape punch was used to produce all the dies for a decade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
