    Long shot and expensive.
    The spin caster I have available is limited to 5 oz.
    To do it I would need a model not to exceed the volume to do up to 5 oz of silver.
    I would then need to make a silicone mold using the model. Then one uses that to make a wax.
    Followed by lost wax cast steps.

    Or one would need a 3D printer to make a model of the size you want if no model is available. A larger spin caster would be needed or it could be poured by hand.

    Good luck.

    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Got quoins?

    @ricko that's just representative of the EGA.. That one is actually made of resin of some type..

    @ricko Michael at MK Barz said he would do it.. for a 5 ounce 2d he wants $150 and for a 3D he wants $200.. package deal perhaps? :)

    Did you end up ordering one?
    Did you get renders of what they'd look like? I might be in!

    I actually got busy and forgot :( It would be great if you @ricko and I jump in on this and maybe get a deal... I don't have any renders, but I know they do great work..

    I'm willing to work on it if there's interest - Semper Fi!

    I did not follow through.... Have been involved in other things lately. This idea is on hold for now.... Cheers, RickO
