Mom: son what will you do with it?...

Son: Ma Ill be makin silver commemorative coins of nude women!!!

Mom: Alright son Ill get you one

Sorry everyone I had to

 

now back to the topic, I used to melt lead bullets and make planchets out of them.

 

ok lets start bidding on the first strike nude woman coin, with the first politician womans likeness. ewwww!

 

Hey, if you had a choice of looking at nude women, or a coin, which would you pick ?

.... and to have BOTH fused together !...... Giddy-up !!!!! I'd buy one !

On a more serious note., most collectors on this forum have seen or been informed of the 'massive' invasion of Chinese counterfit coin's hitting the U.S. market. This is a sensitive subject, as it threatens the market itself.... I hope your intentions are purely as you state,, and not to replicate more counterfit collectible coins.

Either way, you don't need an expended US mint press to stamp coin's.. any old hydraulic system will do,, log splitter, etc....

 

Is this how we welcome a new member to our forum? The gentleman asked a simple question. Do we allow our bias toward what has been perpetrated in the past to cloud our judgement regarding what this fellow intends to do? That's not for us to say. The OP has already stated that he's an artist and until I find out otherwise I will judge his intentions to be pure and simple. Are we judging a person by his name (user name) alone? Wars are started over stuff like this. Hobo, alone, made the right call. And now, I'll step off my blasted soap box.......before I fall off.

 

I would suggest this as well sir. Official presses are rare and expensive. Why buy a press when you could have them make them to your specs?

Btw, US collectors get very nervous about someone suggesting striking real US coin designs. First its illegal if you do not permanently stamp them COPY under terms of the Hobby Protection Act, secondly with all of the CHinese fakes flooding the US many collectors are very upset about the very prospect of it. I hope you take their uneasiness as their anger towards fakes flooding this hobby and not against you personally sir.

There's a series of adult-themed silver art bars from the 1970s-80s. They are often available for sale on eBay.

Perhaps the OP wanted to recreate something like the Standing Liberty quarters with more exposure...?

I'm going to bed........

 

I have a feeling this thread is going to go down soon...lol.

 

But Ken, its the middle of the day here on the other side of the Earth, plenty of time left for working on the presses...

 

aww gee I feel bad now. NAHHH just kiddin!:welcome::foot-mouth:

 

maybe i can also ask how to make counterfeit rare coins in the same thread to save on some real estate?

 

If you chose to make Fantasy coins, I would contact Daniel Carr as mentioned above, but The one problem I have with somebody wanting to purchase something of this sort, is when they have the means to do so, they will more than likely get into counterfeiting. Please note that counterfeiting is HIGHLY illegal and frowned upon in the coin collecting world. Not only is counterfeiting frowned upon, but Fantasy pieces are also very VERY controversial and get many people liking it, but some will swear that they are going to destroy coin collecting as a whole. I personally have no bias on fantasy coins, but some I look at and say "UGH! That's just wrong". So as I would like to see you get a coin press as you request, I don't know if your intentions are pure in heart.

A few people would base the fact that you are from and still are in Asia, you would be making counterfeits. I am not going to make an assumption but I would recommend that you contact Daniel Carr and ask about it and legal issues. I hope to god that your intentions are pure and I like the idea of the Nude Women coins.

P.S. Is it possible that you could share some of your ideas for coins? I am a fan of the art in coins and their natural beauty. But please don't share the nudes, there might be some problems if those are shared.

 

yes, or else you might meet doug. doug is a... umm... hmmm... well, he's doug, the rule enforcer!

 

soap coins, eh? i'll buy a bank roll of kennedy halves for $15!

 

When was it every UP?

 

And now for something completely different...
