[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 5369081, member: 21705"]As process Identification, it appears that these can be grouped as follows: Scratch - A sharp object is used to scratch a letter or image into the coin leaving an incused (into the coin) mark. Engraved - Similar to the above, but using a device and process to achieve a refined and symmetric image which might also remove some material. Standard Stamp - A device with a raised reversed image of the detail on a stamp which is then used to produced an incused image onto the coin. Incused Stamp - A device with an encused reverse image of the detail on a stamp which is then used to produce a raised image of the detail on the stamp by depressing the material around the image. While the normal stamp is a type of die struck with a hammer or press, early and ancient coins may have the stamp directly on the striking object. Is this a helpful grouping? All opinions and suggestions are requested. In this case, the OP coin would be an Incused Stamp. Since the Standard Stamp leaves an incused mark on the coin, would that be confusing?[/QUOTE]
