At one point I wanted to build a Duel Strike Drop Hammer Coin press.
You can see more here http://quicksilvermint.com/about.htm
one of the first challenges was to find a source for blank coins, I was able to custom order some from silver town mint, Silver was currently trading at 16$ an oz when I order them, but they had "job" charges.
So I now have these Blank silver coins and Silver is at 40$ an oz, I have no Duel Strike Drop Hammer Coin press (couldn't ever get steel die cheap enough). So I would like to trade them in for some .999 Fine Silver Rounds I think, once I find them going to ask my local coin dealer about it, They are packed away some where from our last move.
