Are there more than 3 parts to an obverse or reverse die?

Another thread got me thinking of the actual names for the areas of an obverse or reverse die (excluding the collar die).
Are there names for any areas on the obverse/reverse of a coin other than the devices, fields and rims that I'm forgetting? Thanks in advance, Cliff

Don't forget the edge of the coin... A lot of folks do not look at the edges wish can contain a host of different errors and maybe even a variety... When searching I will take a stack of coins and roll them looking at the edge to check for obvious anomalies... Then while looking at the coins I do a quick look with the loupe!!!

Thanks Jim for the reminder about the coin because I forget to check the edges on a regular basis.
But I was inquiring specifically about the names for the areas on the die itself.

I think you covered them all!!!

Thanks, Just seemed like there should be more for all the time and discussion these discs consume.

So you're excluding the collar, edge and reeding but maybe denticles would be an area of the obv-rev die if the coin has them.

I believe he was just thinking of the dies face... If on the die face denticles and reeds wood fall under devices if memory serves me correctly!!!

Thanks Ed. Yes, you're right, denticles would be an "item" located on the obverse or reverse surface. Would they fit under the "devices" category though?

That would be a device as far as I know!!!
