I'm liking how these are looking. Holy shit. I wasn't a fan of the large crown mold. I think I'm changing my mind seeing your stamp on it. Make it an Aurora Club Cash set and I'm 86.5% in for a set

Nice work pat! Maybe @David Spragg should gift you a few more barrels for further testing! For science, right

 

[AK Chip]

I'm in the minority on this, I love the large crown, small crown is ok.

 

[David Spragg]

No more small crowns left.
Have more large crowns if needed.

 

[AK Chip]

Thanks, I'm good on the large for now. If I can jump in on someone's small crown order I'll take a rack of any color next time they run.

@detroitdad I had a half barrel with decent stamps and scraped, no spinners or warped chips.

Something else that may be making it harder for you. Your dies were designed for Amold with 7/8 diameter stamp.
Both crowns used 3/4 diameter only.

I'm having a couple sets of dies made soon, I'll have one sized for the large crowns and see how it works.

I went with the Aurora's to duplicate the dies you tried

 

[David Spragg]

Actually, looking at yours I'd say they are sized right for small crown but too large for large crown.

John is working up a set of these at 20mm for me, should be close.

@AK Chip Are you planning to work out the bugs to stamp on Disq? If so... I’ve got 140 Rising Sun dimes waiting to be stamped.

maybe @David Spragg has some samples of Disq that can be sent over for science...

Do you have the chips and dies? I think I might be able to get some practice chips from k9dr.

I'm with you man, if you ever get the large crown stamp figured out lets do a set together...your chips would be free.

Much appreciated !! but not necessary. I would however love to work on a set with you.

If these ever get made and work with the L crown...I’m fucked.

I hear ya brother!!! I'm thinking of a custom die on one side and that denom on the other wise.

Hey @p5woody looks like I'll have a couple of gigs for you lol.

They will and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I had a decent stamp and only used a few chips dialing it in.

So I think your fd Scott

[doughboy63]

What do dies cost to get produced?

Well this info comes just after my foreign oil company (against the rules to name them on social media) gifted all employees with multiple Restricted Stock Units on the local exchange...now earmarked for custom dies.

@AK Chip I don't have dies yet... I have artwork. I was planning to try to "rework" the chip prior to sending back to Spragg to get them stamped. It is my impression that some amount of "scraping" is required of that chip in order to get it flat enough to get it to stamp. This was info from cgraham. He was going to do it originally for my set, but his non-chipping workload prevented that from happening. Seeing what you've done with the scrown gives me hope.

I was going to get dies trough Spragg. Do you have a source? I have heard of cheaper outlets than the dies Spragg uses.

 

[detroitdad]

I think I'll need a sunset die lol.

 

[WedgeRock]

BCC charged me $75 for a custom die many, many years ago.

you’ve been around here long enough. You don’t make a statement like that without some pr0n.

 

[Klobberer]

I just paid $168 for 3 different copper dies from owosso.com
