A die struck pin is a bare metal pin stamped from a custom steel die under high pressure, with no enamel color filled into the design. The raised and recessed metal is the artwork, so detail comes from how light catches the sculpted surface rather than from paint.
Because the metal is compressed rather than poured, a struck pin is denser than a cast one and holds a crisp edge through years of wear. It is the classic, formal style of custom lapel pin — and the base that every soft enamel and hard enamel pin is built on before color is added.
