[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 475984, member: 6370"]A bit ago I got some steel and had an idea to mint my own coin. Creating a die is not that easy I can tell you and I believe I failed to get even close to the quality of impression that I was hoping for. I have not given up as I have another method I am going to try that might allow me to get a better image on the steel...but this is the best strike of quite a few attempts. Not pretty I know...but I will keep trying: [img]http://www.cachecoins.org/cache/testw.jpg[/img] Its supposed to be a Wotan. If I ever get a process down that produces a decent impression I am going to write it up to help other who might like to play around with minting...thats a big IF. This coin does have a reverse, its a floral design that did not come out right either. :)[/QUOTE]
