Coin dies needed. Any edm in here?

[Robzee]

Hihi, I am looking for someone to make coin dies as my guy just quit the industry. I think edm may be the best solution but I'm open to anyone who has done coin dies in both 3d and 2d

Can't help you personally but thought I'd chime in about one of the latest books I just read. "Newton and the Counterfeiter" is a great read all about Sir Isaac Newton who was Warden of the British Mint around 1699. Lots of fascinating info about die cutting and counterfeiting and the history of coin clipping as well as alchemy.

If you find an EDM service let us know. What little I've heard its big $ for even 2D profiles.

@CalgaryPT good timing, was just on the lookout for next read (or in my case Audibles).

The machine is functional but a long way from coin dies I’m afraid.
