<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3351392, member: 66&quot;]Poorly done &quot;Soft Die&quot; multiple strike altered coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Put cent between two pieces of soft metal such as brassd then smack the stack with a sledge hammer.&nbsp; The cent will create incuse impressions in the plates. Mover the coin slightly and smack it again.&nbsp; The incuse impressions in the plate will act as dies and create a raised impression on the coin.&nbsp; The plates are relatively soft though so the &quot;dies&quot; do not wipe out the original impression on the coin.&nbsp; The coin will also create a second incuse impression in the plates.&nbsp; Move the coin slightly again and hit the stack for a third time.&nbsp; This time the &quot;Soft Die&quot; will raise two more impressions on the coin.&nbsp; Coin now shows five slightly raised impressions, but the pounding between the plates also has flattened and distorted the shape of the coin as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>12 posts to go[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
