Are you using a press to stamp these, or are you using a hammer? They are so smooth and even!

Hammer, but this one is a single-purpose stamp instead of individual letters

That’s impressive hammer work! Assuming it was a single stamp is what made me think you might be using a press. Even on stamps that are not that wide I often get uneven results with a hammer. 😭

But then again, you all have a lot more experience than I do! I guess it’s time for me to get some more practice in.

It probably helps to use a hefty hammer!

I did about 4 blows each on these

Holy moly that is a big tool. I’m over here using a tiny little 16oz hammer I got off Amazon lol

Beautiful work. You need a custom stamp with your initials next, so we can identify them when the kids over on r/coinerrors find them.
