<p>[QUOTE="Badger Mint, post: 2331217, member: 42121"]The sharpness of the tool and the depth that the lines were cut would also vary from die to die, this could have something to do with when they show up as well. Yes, I do cut dies, my avatar is one that I did for Shire Post Mint from their Game of Thrones series of tokens. It is all hand engraved, no power tools. The beaded boarder was punched over an engraved circle to keep it straight. In many old hand cut dies with beaded boarder you can see bits of the line between the beads.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
