<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Badger Mint, post: 7549041, member: 42121&quot;]a $200 rolling mill is going to be a disappointment, don&#039;t waste your money.&nbsp; for silver, I either do as you said, melt, cast, and roll out, or I just sell it back to my local coin dealer and get nice fresh bars.&nbsp; the small monetary loss is worth the time savings to me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I ordered a ton of copper planchets and I will order silver ones once the dies ship. My friend said he wanted to buy the &quot;cob&quot; ones once I strike them. I wonder how they will turn out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>Where did you order your blanks from?&nbsp; Sometimes it&#039;s nice not to have to make them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I make dies using whatever tools are at hand, punches, hand gravers, hammer and chisel, rotary for bulk material removal, and a pantograph for nice, crisp lettering.&nbsp; My avatar is a die I completely hand cut for Tom Maringer at the Shire Post Mint, it is part of the Game of Thrones coin series he sells.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
