<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 26603822, member: 77814&quot;](Top and middle pic) In the Red box you can see the edge being squashed and expanding, wider than the reeding not damage.&nbsp; And we know the 3 dies are not flexible as they are harder than the material.</p><p>Of course, to get reeding it has to be pressed against the collar (the 3rd die from the obverse to reverse die).&nbsp; The die, being much harder than the metal, isn&#039;t going to flex nor change shape.</p><p>(lower pic) one can see the edge is pushed in. The &quot;AMERICA&quot; is squished/compressed down and the surface isn&#039;t flat as it is bent and actually bulges on the other side.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1695727[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is easy to do.&nbsp; use various hardnesses to flatten that edge, which is going to bulge it.&nbsp; Easy damage.&nbsp; Of course, if you want to damage it &quot;exactly&quot; as you see it will take a long time and probably be various blows to construct the same damage as one cannot provide what &quot;exactly happened to this dime&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I get a chance (probably not) I can recreate the effects here on a dime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
