Thanks, it was suspect but I think the crossed SMLEs might be genuine. Tim

Thank you for this information, and for your link. I thought this myself, different manufactures making the same die. Which makes it harder, in spotting a original from fake. Kind regards Gerwyn |

Hi all
If they were made by using a press. Would they have not been called Repressed (pressed), not Restrikes (hit). I have done more research on this subject, and have had two reply's but with no information on the process of making them. It was still nice of them for replying. Gerwyn |

Modern machines use hydraulic pressure and relatively slow , older machines used fast and very heavy flywheels to produce the weight, others used a heavy weight dropped perhaps 10 feet striking the the die , and older still they used a hammer to strike the top die with a another per person holding it on a disc to be made into a coin to strike or struck

I use to work industry that used mechanical operated air hammers, two of them being five tons, to stamp the product out. then the flash was clipped and punched out, it was a old process going back before the 1900s. Regards Gerwyn |
