<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1696375, member: 23368&quot;]This is the mate that goes along with my post #506. It was made by the process patented by George Keppler. It is another original piece with the patent bar across the reverse. He made the metal malleable and it was pushed out into a sunk die from above. This coin was a Barber 1905 dime. Before applying the pressure via a plunger, the face of the coin was scored creating weak points. This gives the petal affect around Liberty&#039;s face instead of the clean cut-out seen and used by Malliet. The 3-D affect is so great, I could not focus on the coin and the pop-out simultaneously. They make for an interesting conversation piece when discussing your exonumia display.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
