Casting/Minting Silver Rounds

[maverick323]

Where can I read up on the different types of silver casting and minting?

What kind of startup costs would one be looking at? 

Are there any budget die casting machines for smaller production runs?

LOL not sure brain is the right word. I muddle through 🤣 I was Lucky to have some good friends all ready in the industry. I also used instagram and made some amazing contacts through there for advice and genral questions. The silver community is amazing and people are more than happy to help with knowledge with no financial incentive to them selves.  You tube is an amazing source of info as well.. The USA cost is different to the uk costs as over there items are more readily available. My stamps for instant I have to have made over the pond so vat and postage adds up on the items I need. silver is cheaper over there also.. The costs on Minting machines even small ones are mega no matter where you are.

Any estimates?

Any specifications one should look for? Do some work only with silver, gold, copper?

I woukdent be the one to ask for estimates . I'm purely a hand pourer. those names I gave you in PM would be the ones to ask buddy. Minting is a whole other ball game.
