Afternoon everyone….
Losing nearly two full days of work has me very concerned with hit my deadline on this current job. I’m not complaining about missing the days for the loss of someone dear to me and a huge part of my good friend Jeff’s life.
I’m just not used to being this far behind on jobs. Unfortunately when I calculate how many days I think I’ll need to complete a job, I factor them at twelve hour workdays. So working more hours is not going to make much of a dent and after a week or more of working sixteen plus hours a day takes a huge toll on me.
I’m no spring chicken anymore……
There are to my count nine mints that produce sovereign coinage that is used in every day purchases by world. Now I am excluding mints like the Scottsdale Mint, and a couple others that produce legal tender coinage. Why? Because this coinage while having a legal tender value on them are in no way used for commerce transactions.
If you aren’t a coin collector, then you won’t quite understand what I’m trying to say.
The United States Mint produces millions upon millions of coins. But, there are thousands upon thousands of error coins. Which means the quality control at all three branches of the United States Mints have some quality control issues.
So let’s talk private mints. Today I’m going to share a piece from a privately owned mint that not only has amazing designs, but there quality control is top notch.
I own many pieces from this mint and have yet to be disappointed.
So which mint am I talking about???
The Intaglio Mint…
