I have been welding practically my entire life, mig, tig ,arc and I can honestly say, no one is welding microscopic damage like this. Also if they did, do you not think (like any welder does) to make sure to clean up your area so that it looks like you were never there, polishing for example. The size alone is not really something that can be welded by human hands (even if possible whats the point) and would most likely need some sort of machine that can weld extremely small. I personally do not think the mint would pay thousands of dollars for a machine that can weld dies when they could easily and more cost effectivly just produce another working die from a working hub in a fraction of the time and cost.

john I agree but the proof is in the pictures. about 3 more weeks I will show the surface of these coins in perfect focus. there will be no more to say. john you have the power now to get all the same results. you have a great one. john I have to go very soon to the hospital. a robot will be freezing the tiny bones in my back. while I am in a catscam machine. there is welder that will weld even smaller. its all done by robot close circuit television. john crank up the power on your camera you will see for yourself you have a great one.

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.
