<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 480007, member: 6370&quot;]Stunning...medals often have much higher relief. Some searches have come up with nothing online with such measurements. Might not be looking in the right places.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I dont think I ever realize how low the relief on most coins are. When I thought about how deep one needs to cut the metal on a die, I started realizing that we are talking just .00x measurements. Especially modern coins that seem to be very similar in relief and very low with early large bronzes being an example of one obvious exception among others. It seems you get some higher relief coins that may top out at maybe .03 or .05 give or take....but even coins that seem so much higher a relief than others are actually very low in terms of how deep the cut in the metal actually is. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If anyone is browsing around and happens along anything having to do with coin relief depth measurements for ANY coins think of this thread and maybe post it!!
