<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 636053, member: 19065&quot;]Regardless of your condescending sledge hammer analogy Conder101, INDEED the pressure exerted by a hammer blow does lead to the creation of numismatic items... once coins were actually created by hammering a die against a planchet and still are essentially hammered under excessive pressure in today&#039;s mechanically die struck minting of coins. The force is used to shape the metal, just like you implied your sledge hammering would be doing by that action strike. :hammer::hammer::hammer: Although I think you will find that your sledge hammer method will be much less accurate than dies or counter-stamps.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Am I a collector?&nbsp; Yes, but as time passes I collect less and less.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s called a maturation of your interests... but your attitude in this thread belies or proves your limits to any such progress. If you cannot contribute anything further than your condescending remarks to the thread then please unsubscribe.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Numismatics and coin collecting have little to do with each other.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>...syntax error ??? does not compute...:computer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
