What is the difference between 4 Prongs, Die-struck Tiffany head and 4 Prongs, Tiffany head?

Maybe nothing. Die-struck is a manufacturing technique.  This is the way most 'Tiffany' style heads are made.  It's very possible that the second description simply didn't include the technique used.  Are these two descriptions coming from two different vendors?

denverappraiser - No, the descriptions are from the same vendor.  I tried to attach photos, but wasn't able.

You guys have been really helpful.  I have one more quick question:

Will there be a difference in color between the die-struck and regular cast prongs?
