<p>[QUOTE="omahaorange, post: 1353498, member: 28199"]Can't speak for the rest of the world, but as I understand it, the obverse and reverse dies at the US mint have different bases (for lack of a better term) that only fit in the press in the way it was intended. Similar to putting a suare peg into a round hole, and vice versa, if you know what I mean. So, you can't put an obverse die into the reverse die's slot on the press.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
