[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2198315, member: 112"]Trey, even the most simple of set ups like what the ANA uses would cost thousands of dollars. So unless you are actually looking to set up a business of some sort, the cost is prohibitive. However, you could always do what was done in the past, use the hammered method. But even that assumes the production of dies and planchets, both of which are anything but cheap, and not exactly easy to produce. So that really isn't an option either. And even if you go what is considered to be the most economical route, using a private mint, it is still quite costly.
