<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 974658, member: 66&quot;]You can do a better job filling it in using a pencil eraser.&nbsp; Just repeatedly press the eraser down on the coin.&nbsp; Back before the advent of digital photography in EAC the making of foil impressions was commonplace by the members.&nbsp; To make it easier we used to use modified Notary presses.&nbsp; We would replace the upper seal with a disk of stiff rubber and the bottom seal was used as an anvil.&nbsp; We would take a metal tray and attach a layer of stiff rubber to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then we would take a large cent and place it inside a folded over strip of foil. Put it on the trayand insert it into the press.&nbsp; Squeeze the press a couple of times to make sure you get a good impression.&nbsp; Carefully open the strip and let the cent slide out.&nbsp; Then to protect the pressing you place it inside a half dollar sized Whitman 2X2 snap together holder.&nbsp; Now it can be safely handled, passed around, or even mailed to someone to show off your new prize without having to worry about the foil impression being crushed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
