In this video I will be casting custom fine .999 silver rounds! I designed the coins in fusion 360 and then printed them on my Elegoo Saturn resin 3d printer. I used the 3d printed models as patterns to make sand molds. The silver was melted in my homemade metal melting keg furnace. Each coin weighs between 63 and 65 grams. ——- Affiliate links to items used in this video and others on my channel —— Elegoo Saturn 3d Printer https://amzn.to/3iGIPlw The best polishing wheels ever https://amzn.to/2VjG2GK Clear Coat – I love this stuff! https://amzn.to/2V71kYj NeverDull metal polish https://amzn.to/3zumeiH Liver of Sulfur https://amzn.to/3rIUBjz The links above are affiliate links.

  1. The 20g of silver can be recovered for future meltdowns, get a jewelers rug. You send the rug off every so many years and they melt it and hand over the metals in it.

  2. Since the Mints pretty well have the market for rounds/ premiums, which is the only way you can recover the cost of doing small scale stuff,
    with that 3dprinter, and knowledge of molding, I bet you can come up with some “trade’ specific trinkets for selling for gifts, like a small silver hammer, or silver sailor’s anchor/trident etc. Simple designs, that you don’t see offered. Then, get some kind of official verification for your business that you’re using whatever grade silver to give the buyer confidence theyre not getting lead….🤑

  3. You need to remember that this is why the Weaver family was besieged at Ruby Ridge. The government hated honest money back then, and it REALLY hates it now. Making your own silver coins can be dangerous.

  4. Great video. Have you considered centrifugal casting for coin production?. Often used as a way to produce fine detail things like warhammer models back in the day. Also i think it will mean less work after the cast. I think you can use plaster to pour the casts too. Some jewelers 3d print using a wax like filament that totally disappears when molten metal is poured over it, no need for a 2 part cast.
