<p>[QUOTE="Dirk D, post: 2221094, member: 71933"]The incuse coins were made with two seperately cut dies (one being the postive, one the negative) which, more or less, fitted into each other. So, when a coin was struck, the images would also "fit". When you look closely at one of these coins, you'll see that there are little differences concerning centering and size. But these differences are always within limits so as not to damage the obverse/reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
