so i thought i would give it a go, so ebay i went a trolling
found a few half dollers pre 1972(more silver in them)
a few shillings(im starting with)
a mandrill
soft hammer
a punch tool to make hole in centre of the coin.
if you are going to make one please make sure you buy a good stainless steel mandrill
as the 1st one i bought was listed as stainless steel but was alloy and tore up after ten minutes.
you need to anneal the coin every 5 minutes or so to keep it soft
this is as for as i have got till my new mandrill turns up
should end up like this
tools to get started
will post more photos
