I would like to attempt making some silver "family" coins for gifts this
christmas.
I have some rough attempts at a die for the coin, but before I get too deep
into the project, the question came up as to the raw material. I need to get
some silver coin blanks (planchets). I know they exist somewhere, a friend got
a medalion stamped at a Ren-fair and they offered brass, silver or gold that
they stamped with your choice of two different dies. I have done numerous
searches but have not come up with a supplier for 'blank' coin size silver.
Anyone got a suggestion other than casting or punching my own?
