Sorry, I don't understand your question.  For Chicago screws you use the female end with a base to solder to the coin.  For rivets you use the male end with a base to solder to the coin.  Then you use the rivet cap (female) or the Chicago screw (male) to attach the concho to leather.  

I don't think there is such a thing as a rivet or Chicago screw without a base and certainly not without a cap or screw.  How would you attach it to anything without a cap or screw?

Did you watch the video?  Pretty much explains it.   

 

Thanks for the reply! My apologies, I think I was overthinking this. So my screws have domed caps and should closely match the concave underside of the coin and make for a solid bond. I probably need shorter screws too if I’m just putting these on thinner pieces like a wallet as mine are .25”.
