<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ronterry, post: 1249729, member: 28569&quot;]I thought real coin dies had to be canceled before selling? Like a few &#039;X&#039;s hammered in. The only die I&#039;ve seen outside an active mint was a Carson City, and it had the X&#039;s destroying the beauty, but certainly would prevent the forging of coins... It had some pretty nasty rust on her to! They use some pretty high carbon steel in the white. It will rust if you so much as clean the oil off it, and breath on it.</p><p>I would of thought by now they would treat the surface with TiCN. The dies would last three times longer, and provide a little more protection from rust, but I guess that is another subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
