I agree with you my friend.
But actually one person at least said that is possible to obtain a result like that with die striking: Ric Ferrari.

Just for fun I post a screenshot of a 2 years ago discussion.

I would like to read some Ric's answers again...


Hello Antonio,

thank you to promo my position by quoting all my past statements.

I appreciate your effort to prove casting theory is correct, but it seems many collectors disagree with you and they still consider it absurd (me included).

So far nobody is able to definitively prove the actual way Gahr produced SSHr, but if flooding Forums with tons of microscope pics, Xray analysis, lab reports, ecc. may help you to promo your theory?.that's fine with me, but I still remain on die press theory.

Ric Ferrari
