Brockage

^Cool. I had to look up "brockage", wasn't sure what it meant.

^
There isn`t even a word to translate that into here
have to use a long sentence to explain -
working on it, making a new word
And theres several different types of brockage,
just to make it easier

Where I used to work, we would call that a double-mold. Usually, the added pressure of trying to compress two blanks simultaneously, would damage the dies and we would then have to replace them.

Sounds like you have much knowledge of
the mechanics behind it throught that job

I used the same presses and the same process. The only difference is that we didn't make coins. We mainly made coin sized gears, and other odd parts.

Handy to know - my knowledge on the coin
mechanics are mostly book-stuff.


I have a strong tendencie to "not care" when it comes to
very rare coins - for example the gold dukat i posted pics
of, 5 pieces known, lets say i got my hands on one of them.
Many would cherrish it and look at it every day, i would
just store it somewhere and think "ok then, that was 1 down,
4 to go." kind of a all or nothing approach a hard
way to collect - just love making whole sets with coins that fit
together one way or the other

It would be awesome to own all 5. You could then practically set your own price.

ok so aqiring the entire set would be around 250k however all togeter the price would skyrocket easily surpassing one million.

^That's exactly what I was thinking.
