<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 479916, member: 6370&quot;]Okay, now I know there are some coins with ultra high relief, I am not as concerned with those. I am wondering if there is a way to find out the average relief depth of coins. I look at US coins and, of course, they are mostly ultra low relief...I cant even figure it with my calipers so I am thinking it might be somewhere around .001&quot; to .01 maybe.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But when it comes to coins, even the relief of a GIII Soho penny seems not to be much more than .02&quot; - .03&quot; deep...my calipers can hardly register that depth either.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I guess what I am asking is... is there any source out there listing depth of relief for ANY coins at all? It seems to me, .001 to .01&quot; is more than deep enough to match US coins, maybe a little more for older, slightly higher relief coins. Its very difficult to measure such minute distances with an old caliper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
