Re: Engraving coining dies
It is not my specialty but I have engraved several dies for a jeweler who was making hunt buttons.
I have never used a master hub to press in the die. I engraved directly the motif in the metal, in reverse.
It's true that it is awkward to do that way. I know that easier processes exist but a hand- engraved die has the advantage of a faster and sometimes a better result in the details.
