<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 168612, member: 66&quot;]Bingo (of course Mike would get it.)&nbsp; I believe the way these are made is by putting the coin on a soft brass plate and then hitting them with a hammer.&nbsp; This creates an incuse image of all or part of the design.&nbsp; In effect a die.&nbsp; Then the coin is shifted in the &quot;die&quot; and hit again.&nbsp; This causes the &quot;die&quot; to transfer part of the image back to the coin resulting in the faint raised properly oriented image.&nbsp; This is the case on the other coins he is selling.&nbsp; On the coin in question here they created a &quot;die&quot; using a quarter, and then placed a dollar coin on it and hit it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
