<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2473578, member: 24314&quot;]This can be a hard concept.&nbsp; I don&#039;t chose give you a complete answer as I don&#039;t have the time.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure if you do an Internet search you&#039;ll find a much better answer than anything I can write here.&nbsp; That said:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The &quot;tools&quot; (dies &amp; hubs) that make coins can have their design raised or sunken.</p><p>2. Transfer dies can be made by several different methods.</p><p>3. In the article, if I make a mold impression from a coin w/a raised design, the &quot;transferred&quot; design will be sunken into the mold.&nbsp; An engraver can make changes to this.&nbsp; When the forger makes a &quot;transfer copy&quot; of this mold.&nbsp; The new piece will have its design raised.&nbsp; The engraver can also make changes to this.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you wish to see the transfer process &quot;worked out,&quot;&nbsp; take a 1943 steel cent, place it on a hot Lincoln cent planchet and hit the sandwich with a sledge hammer.&nbsp; You have just made a crude &quot;transfer die.&quot;&nbsp; I will not go any further as we don&#039;t want to tell everyone how to make counterfeit mint errors! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":muted:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
