Minting process

Treated to look as if it has been handled and circulated, this process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science, coloring and patinas will vary. No two sets are exactly the same. 

Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. A colorful description is included with history and facts about the coin.

 Specifications:

• Solid copper, brass and iron
• 2.1 to 2.7 cm diameter
• 2.7 to 11 grams
