[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 7405082, member: 82322"]I posted the gem cutting video because I have never been able to find pictures of video of the cutting of a coin die. There are plenty of guys cutting ancient-style dies today. I believe they all start with a flat surface, sketch on the steel like the gem cutter did, then start hammering with various tools. Here is replica struck from dies Becker made in 1825: [ATTACH=full]1287623[/ATTACH] Becker cut one of those dies in just 18 hours! CNG auctioned off this specimen, as a Becker, with [URL='https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=229190']hammer price $1600[/URL].[/QUOTE]
