    Well, here you go.

    Sean made these massive trails in just seconds, all the while still keeping the tool in motion! It takes only seconds of concentration in one area to make trails in a die. He was trying to make them, but you can plainly see that mild trails can be formed in seconds when NOT trying. I plan to follow up more and have my own trail die made and coins struck from it.

    The video does seem to show a set of trails toward the end. However, I would like to see them without the disruption of a shaky camera. The camera needs to be anchored to a stand.

    Looks pretty convincing. Will there be a planchet struck with this die available?

    Cool video... Was the die made with the same steel and in the same manner as the mint makes their dies??? Also is the equipment and polishing compound the same as the mint uses???
