A facsimile plate made by electrotypy for use in printing; also, an impression or print from such plate. Also used adjectively.
To make facsimile plates of by the electrotype process; as, to electrotype a page of type, a book, etc. See Electrotype, n.
a duplicate printing surface made by taking a wax mold of the original surface and coating it with a thin layer of copper by means of electroplating. mezzotint: intaglio plate-making method of working from dark to light. the plate surface is roughened, then selectively scraped and burnished smooth in areas so as to hold ink differently during the act of printing. woodcut: relief print made on the plank side of block of wood.
a reproduction of a coin or object. Sometimes used in museums. Produced using an electro-deposition process.
A copy or reproduction of a coin or medal made by the chemical process of electro-deposition (electroplating). These pieces, made in two halves and then glued or soldered together, can be very deceptive. The best method of detection is a light tap on the rim which will not yield the charastic ringing sound of a genuine coin.
A copy of an art object produced by electroplating a wax impression. Used in the nineteenth century to reproduce antique objects.
a method of producing a facsimile by depositing metal in a mold using an electrical current. Some dvb museum reproductions were first copied from the original using electrotypes
A method of producing replicas of a die for printing by applying a coating of copper to a mold taken from the die.
a well-made, deceptive copy of a coin created by joining two halves together over a lead center. Only one electrotype can be made at a time. Electrotypes will fail the ring test and close examination will reveal a seam along the edge.
a copy of a model which is created by the deposition of copper by a galvanic action.
A counterfeit coin made by the electroplating process.
A reproduction of a coin or medal made by an electrolytic process.
Electroplating applied to a mold. The gold is then peeled away from the mold producing a cast object made of pure gold.
A duplicate coin created by the electrolytic method, where metal is deposited into a mold made from the original. The obverse and reverse metal shells are then filled with metal and fused together. The edges are then sometimes filed smooth to obscure the seam.
A reproduction of a coin made by the electroplating process.
