Description

A reverse hub impression in lead, cataloged as Newman FF. This piece was created by pressing the Newman FF reverse hub into a soft lead blank, capturing the full reverse design in sharp detail. Hub impressions like this one played a critical role in the die-making process, allowing die sinkers to verify the hub design before producing working dies. The lead composition preserved exceptional detail.

Rarity Notes
