<p>[QUOTE="Orange Julius, post: 7955706, member: 77226"]Hmm… if the hammer is the reverse, what if it was just that the die fell off the hammer before or during striking? I can imagine a Kevin, early after a weekend at the games, trying to just get his quota of struck coins for the day. He has a splitting headache and his hammer die keeps falling out, causing him to miss-strike a number of coins. He’s having a rough one so, just utters some unkind words at the malfunctioning minting tools and tosses the coins in the bag when normally he’d put them in the reject pile. That movie works in my mind, so that’s what I’m going with. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Edit: what did these later GLORIA reverse dies look like? I’d assume, they’d somehow affix to the set up and be easily interchangeable if something broke. Edit 2: Went back and noticed that TIF said the same thing already… so we’re dreaming in the same direction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
