<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 4570799, member: 73224&quot;]There is not always empty space where they meet.&nbsp; The obverse and reverse have different designs, field area, depth of relief and coin or medal orientation. When the dies meet, with totally different designs and fields, metal moves and a clash is formed of the opposite die(s).&nbsp; If the dies have different hardness, than only one die will leave a clash.&nbsp; Or a more pronounced clash than the softer die.&nbsp; In order to not leave a clash the dies would have to have the exact same design and mirror each other.&nbsp; They would also have to be in perfect alignment and the same hardness.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
