Default Re: coining (wasnt sure where this would go)

Joe,

I have been interested in coining silver bracelets by engraving a die for one rather than engraving them one at a time. I realize that it would require a very substantial press to strike something as big as a piece of silver 3/4"x 6"x1/8". Rather than buying a press, is it possible to go to a die shop, have them make an unhardened die block that I would engrave then have them harden it and strike the bracelets that I would finish and bend?

Thanks,

Roger
