<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2635280, member: 66&quot;]No because the two are not interchangable.&nbsp; A die made to be used as the anvil die can not be used as a hammer die and vice versa.&nbsp; The&nbsp; necks of the two are different lengths.&nbsp; The anvil die has to have a longer neck because it stays inside the collar at all times but has to push the coin up out of the collar at the end of the strike.&nbsp; The hammer die has a shorter neck so it can come completely out of the way to let the feed fingers pass between it and the collar to push the struck coin away.&nbsp; If you put a hammer die in the anvil position, after the strike when it raised up the coin would not be completely out of the collar and would be damaged when the fingers tried to push it out of the way.&nbsp; An anil die in the hammer position would not leave enough room for the figers to operate, and might not even come completely out of the collar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
