<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Maringer, post: 362842, member: 7033&quot;]Dies of that type are generally made by using small chisels and punches to make marks in the steel, rather than etching. Etching will give you a flat-bottomed groove whereas these dots and lines have rounded tops. Such chisels and punches are easily made. I have heard of people using masonry nails, and just grinding several of them to make various shapes. You would only need four or five different ones to make all the designs on the coin type you pictured. It would be far quicker than acid etching, and would be more authentic looking because that&#039;s how it would have been done in that period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
