Hello. I agree with everybody, James, Marc, Rich, Bruce, and everyone else who thinks that raising the dies is silly, impractical, and/or expensive. I'll be glad to help the enterprising and farseeing person who decides to do it anyway. Contact me privately. I like silly, impractical and expensive projects. I guess that's why I own a Delorean. I think it's worthwhile both commercially and from a historical standpoint. But then again, I make a point of being wrong from time to time.
