    Would you like to hold a facsimile of a die hub in your hand?

    You'll need two items:
    1. Playdough
    2. A quarter (not a collectible, but one from your change).

    Place the quarter face up on a table. Press the playdough over the coin. Slowly separate the coin and the playdough. Look at the indentation of the coin in the playdough. That's what a quarter obverse hub die looks like. The image is a mirror image of the quarter.

    Try it with the tails side up and with other coins.

    Let me know how it worked out for you,

    Clinker
