[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7948225, member: 105571"]So, the images are negatives of actual photo of the dies? In other words, a photo was taken of the die and then the image was mirrored via software to present what we see? If so, that is extremely interesting on a number of levels. First, the devices just don't appear incuse to me but admittedly, I sometimes have difficulties with that aspect in photographs. Secondly, that might explain a bit of why we see a flat rim when we don't see that on actual coins, although I'm not sure how that would work or even what I'm saying - never mind. Third, that might explain why the surfaces and coloring appear off. Instead of looking at a silver alloy coin, we are looking at a steel die? Fourth, can you say anything about the origins of this die?[/QUOTE]
