… AnointMint!

That’s right - Ryan and I have started our own little mint.

While the ‘mint’ label is a little ambitious at this point (ok, a lot), we’re pretty excited.

After researching some engraving/impact printing techniques, we realized we could produce some pretty awesome silver (and gold) rounds with whatever custom designs we like, despite our not owning an expensive striking press.

Having found and secured some .999 silver planchets, we’re now gearing up to get the equipment and open up shop.

Naturally, this is more a hobby than anything else, but if we can make a few bucks by providing interested folks with really neat and unique metals products, fantastic.

We’ve also just bought a ton of 1oz struck Buffalo rounds that we plan on selling. Since we buy in quantity we’ll probably list these individually or in small lots on eBay or the website. Anyways, stay tuned!
