<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2673790, member: 83738&quot;]I can&#039;t really speak about the original question because it is very field specific.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a masher- if things start getting squished there&#039;s usually smoke involved.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I can try to explain the differences between a vice job and a clash.&nbsp; A vice job is merely the impression of a coin pressed into another coin.&nbsp; Thus the relief is incuse.&nbsp; On a clashed die, the relief is pressed into the opposite die.&nbsp; Thus the relief <i>on the die</i> is incuse.&nbsp; The die then transfers this effect to the coin causing the effect on the coin to be high relief (similar to the coins features / mirrored / wrong side of the coin).</p><p><br /></p><p>edit to add:&nbsp; it&#039;s important to note that on clashes it&#039;s actually the low points that get transferred first since they are the high point on the actual die... I&#039;m just going to find a good visual. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
