How are you getting such tight turns with a blade that deep? I cut quarters with a 6/0 and cannot turn right angles the way you do. Excellent work. I would love to see you cut the Connecticut quarter with the Charter oak tree, I've been struggling with that one and would love to see you in action.

as a coin collector who just recently started my mercury dime collection, it pains me to see a 1941 P go to waste. But good handy work with the saw; very accurate.
@coincutter

First of all the coin that is being cut is a 1943 mercury dime and not the 1941. The 1941 was only used to show a dime sitting on the vise grip clamp at the beginning of the video. And I am very curious as to how you discerned that the 1941 dime was a "plain" when the mint marks are on the reverse side of a mercury dime.(and by the way there is no such thing as a "P" mint mark on a mercury dime, dimes minted at the Philadelphia mint have no mint marks hence the word "plain") But whether it is a 1941 or a 1943 mercury dime with any mint mark it will never be a numismatic valued coin unless it is a 1941 Doubled Die Obv or a 1941D Doubled Die Obv or a 1941S Doubled Die Rev and then only highly valued if it grades MS-65 or above. Now a 1942/41D mercury dime is a different animal, if you can find one of them you got yourself something. Or better yet a 1942/41 mercury dime which is valued even higher. As far as your comment "it pains me to see a 1941 P go to waste" I do not consider it a waste to transform something that is worth about $2.00 to $3.00 into something I sell for around $30.00. On Oct-11 a 1941 Plain Mercury Head Dime in Very Nice uncirculated TONED Condition sold for $2.09 with 4 bids on ebay.

yes it is real time, in fact when in my prime (25 years or so ago) I could cut an average of 20 of those an hour over a five hour period ( not including drilling). But that was when I was cutting piece work for a company that was selling cut coin jewelry in the parks at Disney World and I was cutting several hundred of them each week for them.

I noticed you cut out the "IN GOD WE TRUST" on this particular coin here!.. Can i guy leave a sliver on each side of in to save that part of the it?.. and cut around it. Reason i ask these things is your the best on here, and there's no sense me asking someone else whom is still in the learning phase..although it is a learning process, as you go like anything else! sorry about so many questions, but ive always been impatient to get to the final product, with professional results!

Actually Legendary Cactus"s terminology is correct. Smelting is the very basic and important process of removing other metals to obtain the pure form, in this case silver. Our old silver coinage was only 90% silver mixed with another alloy, smelting is used to remove those other alloys, And to answer the question, Yes I send all my precious metal scrap to a smelter and convert it to cash.

what am i doing wrong.. i'm trying to saw a gold color united states Millard Fillmore Liberty dollar and my jewelers saw keeps snaging and breaking. i've got part of it but it is taking a really long time. I started it yesterday and broke 5 0/1 blades.. i switched to a 2 and its still snagging and i'm worried that i'm gonna snap it. can you please email me a response. knight16a1@gmail.com I don't know what i'm doing wrong.
@coincutter
9 жыл бұрын
John, I do not know what a 0/1 blade is, but if you mean a #1 (51 Teeth per Inch) and then switched to a #2 (42 Teeth per Inch) blade then you are using blades with teeth similar to a hacksaw blade.It is no wonder they are snagging and breaking on you. The blade used to cut the dime in the video is a 5/0 blade (71 Teeth per Inch) which is what I predominately use on my coins. I recommend that beginners cutting a tough material start out with a 3/0 blade (61 Teeth per Inch) you should experience less snagging . But keep in mind no matter what size blade you use you are going to break many of them when starting out, but at least the smaller blade will let you maintain a smoother stroke especially if you keep the blade well lubricated. If you are serious about learning how to cut coins, you may want to consider purchasing my video VOLUME ONEINTRODUCTION TO MAKING CUT COIN JEWELRY available in the instructional video section on my website coincutter.net It is narrated and will go into details of techniques that may help reduce your blade breakage in the beginning. thanks

Actually you are the DUMMY, you should research before you make a statement like this Back when Defacing Laws were introduced…The World was on the Gold Standard. This meant that the World Currencies had values based on Precious Metal Weight. Hence, a $20.00 Gold Piece had $20.’s worth of gold in it and a value of $20. Now some people trying to stretch their dollars… Shaved gold off the edges and proceeded to spend $17. or $18. as $20. In Order to prevent this the Governments basically did 2 things: --------------------------- 1.)They decided to give every coin made using a precious metal, a “Reeded Edge” that’s why pennies and nickels don’t have the same edge as quarters,etc. as they were never made from precious metals. --------------------------- 2.)They enacted Defacing Laws Such as: U.S.code Title 18, Chapter 17, Section 331 Which Prohibits among other things, the fraudulent alteration and mutilation of coins. This statute Does Not, however, Prohibit the mutilation of coins IF DONE WITHOUT FRAUDULENT INTENT, or if the coins are not used fraudulently.
