<p>[QUOTE="Tamaracian, post: 2048221, member: 23122"]You didn't specify if you were trying to make a "coin" that would mimic an alloy, or just a straight metal. If you are trying to mimic a copper-nickel alloy, you might try first using a commercial Plumber's Silver Solder (e.g 1 lb. Roll of Oatey Sn96/3Ag, available from Home Depot or Lowes for about $25) which melts in the range of 415 to 455-degrees F. This solder is fairly hard and has a high finish when solidified against a smooth surface. If this works for you, you could try other alloys that contain copper or bismuth which are slightly harder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
