I've never seen one of these rounds for sale, anywhere. I know there is an Endeavor Silver company, I've just never seen any Endeavor product for sale. There are rounds commemorating that sailing ship "Endeavour" that are, I think, minted in AUS. Maybe these just go to Casa Moneda (the Mexican mint) to make Libertads, though that seems like a waste...if so, they would just ship blanks to Casa Moneda.

Talk about a dream come true.

Ah, so that is how the dies work. There is no knurling step for the rim. It just gets spread out into the rim when pressed.

So the hydraulic coining press is an "HEP 150". Is this is single-strike, or dual-strike coining press? Whatever happened to the "Taylor & Challen" or "Horden, Mason & Edwards" striking presses? I guess they don't make them anymore?

@Lunacy69

I know this is a late response but the press is not an "HEP 150" hydraulic press, it is an HME (Hordern, Mason & Edwards) 360 Ton knuckle press with an OmniLink control panel, most likely added by the US Mint before NWTM came into possession of it.

I have never seen entire process be fully automated from start to finish. But it could be done. Another silver company has furnace and crucible directly feed the molten silver into an extrusion die. You cannot see it in their video...but their crucible has to have an overflow lip to feed the extruder the way they do it. But other parts of their process are manual. This video... They pour silver into big rods...which then get extruded...and here the process is more automated at end of process than other company. Every company is slightly different.

Don't know about this particular private mint, but the US Mint's modern dies are made out of hardened steel. These dies are capable of producing many hundreds of thousands of coins before they are retired and destroyed, or cancelled/defaced. [if you watch eBay, you'll see cancelled/defaced dies for sale--sometimes, an "uncancelled" die will come up for sale; those are much more expensive]

@toddcutsuries54

2 жыл бұрын

Hardened steel. While I am sure they may carve the obverse and reverse of the coin surface with an unhardened die face, the final product undergoes a hardening process via furnace. As others have suggested, a pantograph may be used but some dies are hand carved as well. Coin collecting is a fun and rewarding hobby where we all get to hold on to a little piece of history.

They probably do some marketing, and have an idea of how many coins/medals (or tokens) they'll be able to sell. Their coins/medals certainly have a pricing market-up, so they'll be able to pay for the processing (and other costs), and make a profit. What coins they don't sell, they will melt down, and put back into the minting process.

Perhaps he meant they don't sell directly to the public? Most likely, they are under contract to provide silver, or perhaps make coins/medals/tokens for their clients. Their clients could be private organizations (like clubs), governments (for official tender coinage), or government agencies (like the military). The video showed them minting their own 1 oz fine silver rounds, but minting coins/medals may not be their primary business--they have 2 silver mines in Mexico, so they are obviously in the silver mining business.

@yarply12

+Joseph James rimming is mostly done to size the blank as it reduces its diameter while adding a slight small bulged border, more so if desired to help fill in engraved portions along the outer border of the coining die. But to answer your question, its rather important, as the blank has to fit inside the bottom die collar of the press where the reverse die sets , not so small as to not fill the border of the coin yet not to large to get jammed inside the collar as they can crack from the excessive pressure or bust a die, a lot of variables in the process and I have been out of coining since I lived in cda Id, almost 20 years, but it was pretty important back then.

The US Mint is certainly more automated. However, the blanks/planchets they were minting were burnished and then hand loaded, and struck 3 times (in the video). That would mean these were "proof" quality strikes, which are usually made for collectors. A regular/"business" struck coin/medal would have less hand-work involved.

Coins, no. ROUNDS yes. The difference is that coins are official US currency like Silver Eagles that have US government markings on them. Rounds on the other hand are just coins that are stamped with a design that bears no connections to being labeled as "currency". All this is assuming you have the capital to start your own silver refinery
