<p>[QUOTE="kiyardo, post: 439508, member: 1920"]As we speak, I'm having a design minted through Coins for Anything. They have some cheap pricing. But, only offer brass or brass variants with plating. The reason the die fees are so cheap with places like coinable.com and coins for anything is they outsource the production to China. This is okay, but when it comes to artwork, it makes it frustrating because most of what is conveyed with preferences is lost in translation. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've also had medals minted by actual mints located here in the USA, Silvertowne and Regency Mint. Both did a wonderful job. But, I had to really simplify my designs as the die fees for fully sculpted 3-D were over $600 a side. The Chinese do it all through a computer process, I think. Whereas the stateside based mints sculpt in plaster and transfer the design almost like the US Mint does when it creates coin dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
