<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 20878174, member: 15199&quot;]Consider that since the die area that are raised are the areas that are going to push depressed areas into the coin planchet and counter to this, to make raised areas, the die portion doing that has to be depressed.&nbsp; So for the cuts in photo 3 would have to have a raised diagonal portion on the outer edge to make the depressed &quot;cuts&quot; appearance in the rim, which it could not do and pass initial inspection of the dies being used. Some people own their high pressure auto tools which can push a nickel into a copper cent and produce an odd effect, but it will show details &quot;inward&quot; ( since a real nickel details will be raised&nbsp; rather than &quot;outward&quot;) , but people still buy them on Etsy and ebay until some one reports them.&nbsp; Hope this helps.
