<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sean Moffatt, post: 1992213, member: 72137&quot;]Bruce,</p><p>&nbsp;My main interest is world circulating coins and currency from c.1800 - date. It is a never ending project.</p><p>&nbsp;My favorite(s). I have made so many things it is really hard. But I think the coolest project I ( with my then business partner Timothy Grat) ever made were commemorative reproductions of the California 1852 Humbert octagonal $50 gold slugs made with gold from bars salvaged from the S.S. Central America that were assayed by Augustus Humbert. We parted off the face of the bars with the historical markings to save them (as per the clients request). The gold was then re-alloyed to the original .877 fine. We made 400-ish of them with the exact same weight, fineness and size. I attached a pic of a copper trial strike as I did not get the opportunity to get a gold one.</p><p>&nbsp;The most common thing I made were a gazillion Chuck E. Cheese Tokens. I also threw in a pierced token progressive strip as that is another really cool project I worked on. The most prestigious ones were the official inaugural medals for Clintons first term (4&quot; silver in the pic), and medallions for the ANA. The largest ( I was project manager) was a 100Kg fine silver blank for a European mint that they in turn made into a Mandella medal, (see attached pics). While I did not put the image on the medal, I did make the blank so I guess that counts. By the way just for a size reference, that is a 1 Oz round blank in the pic with the large blank. And the most personal were the 1 Oz rounds I made for my dad when he became an American Legion Post Commander. </p><p>&nbsp;That is just a small group of my &quot;favorites&quot; that I have made. And I still make more every day, mostly bullion for now, but new product lines are being developed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
