[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 3221656, member: 16729"]One book that I found at my local University Library that helped me understand how coins were made is entitled, [SIZE=4][U]The Art and Craft of Coin Making: A history of Minting Technology[/U] by Denis R. Cooper, published in Britain in 1988. Even bad copies of this book will cost you $350+, because this text was only published once, and no new editions exist. Bummer. Probably one of the most influential books on coins that I have yet read (influential to me), if you are into the "manufacturing process" behind coins, like I am. This book answers almost all of your questions, with the exception of how coins are made in 2018. Coins are designed, engraved and minted VERY differently nowadays from the "old" methods described in Cooper's book. [ATTACH=full]838874[/ATTACH] [/SIZE][/QUOTE]
