<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2518773, member: 24314&quot;]You are correct; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> however, here is the deal.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how much tonnage is needed to raise the design on one side and sink the design on the other.&nbsp; Let&#039;s say the machine you link can do the job.&nbsp; <span style="color: #b300b3"><b>YOU STILL <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie104" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />NEED A SILVER EAGLE DIE and a SE coin </b><span style="color: #000000">to make the piece in the PCGS slab.</span></span>&nbsp; That die can be a counterfeit in a machine shop or genuine at the Mint.&nbsp; BUT YOU NEED A DIE. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie23" alt=":bigtears:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now for those who wish to try: Pound the reverse of a silver eagle into some softer metal or make a mold.&nbsp; Take a piece of wet cardboard and lay it on your &quot;die&quot; and set the SE coin (correctly registered with the die would look best) and squeeze the two together.&nbsp; Let the piece dry out while still in the vice.&nbsp; You&#039;ve done it!&nbsp; Only that piece of junk is not a sanding disk which can only fill the die with more pressure that you used AND your piece will still not look as nice as the PCGS piece or have decent relief.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>While I don&#039;t believe the PCGS or the OP&#039;s piece happened by accident - Give it up! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie103" alt=":yack:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
