<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 290597, member: 66&quot;]Place a cent between two layers of soft brass and strike it with a sledgehammer.&nbsp; The cent will make an impressioninto the brass and it will also work harden the metal somewhat.&nbsp; Pust another cent between the brass layers in such a way that it s offeset from the two images in the brass.&nbsp; Strike them again with the sledgehammer.&nbsp; The brass is soft enough that it doesn&#039;t flatten the images on the coin, but it is hard enough to act as a die and raise a secondary image on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in the 1960&#039;s there was a guy who used to make fake double and triple struck copper 1943 cents using this method.&nbsp; (Usually overstruck on 1942 cents!)&nbsp; He used normal steel cents to create the incuse images in the brass and then&nbsp; used them on the 1942 cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
