<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MontCollector, post: 3749457, member: 85496&quot;]I was researching a little about clashed dies yesterday. While reading a definition of what a clashed die is it said that sometimes when dies clash the impression from one die can be transferred to the other die. This I understood, but it also went onto say that impressions are more likely to be left on the softer (usually the&nbsp; reverse) die.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is why is one die softer than the other? Is this so the anvil die can take the pressure of the hammer die hammering it without shattering or cracking? I am&nbsp; assuming that by saying it is usually the reverse die that is softer that means the anvil die would be the soft one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks...Mont.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
