Other than you assuming the mint uses welding techniques to repair a die can you provide a video of how it's done. even an article from the mint, Coin World any other coin magazine would suffice. Your pictures really prove nothing. We need something more substantial other than your gut feeling the mint repairs a die by welding. Please provide something more about this as I do have a real interest in this subject if true Edited by jasper62

jasper62 sure I have a contact at the Royal Canadian Mint. I will get a hold of him. he has already got me some great information. jasper62 I do not know anybody at a American mint. I may try to find out if these mints share information. jasper62 do you collect proof like sets American hope you don't mind my asking. if you do I would like to ask you a question about them. thank you in advance. |

i think when you see details on a coin that make you think a weld repair, what you are actually seeing is where a piece of the coating/plating on the die has possibly broke away, leaving a disturbed area..

Coin dies used by the US Mint probably costs around 100 to 200 dollars each due to shear numbers that they use, just doesn't seem to be logical to repair such a low cost item. Dies are precision item hard to repair to such quality, when you can just P/O another one

No welded. There is no proof that the US Mint deploys such measures.

here is a weld on Jefferson cheek. The image makes it look like the area is raised? If it is raised it would be recessed on the die. If it was recessed it wouldn't be welded would it? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Petespockets55. that would depend on the repair and the size of the hole. there is welds on these surfaces. there are weld on the surface of the Canadian coins as well. I am waiting for one more piece of glass. until then here is a triple struck Jefferson nickle.  |
