I know private mints strike replicas, but does anyone do hammered coinage?

Modern hammered coins, I have never seen any offered for sale. Are there any private mints making hammered medals or tokens? mdwoods

I found a site of someone who made replicas of English hammered coins, but not of the Edward VI coins I was looking for. Sorry, but I don't remember his web address. Try running a search on google.

I know there is or at least was at least one minter of medieval type coins as a member of the Society of Creative Anacronyms. The Gallery Mint Museum plans on doing recreations of minting styles and techniques from all eras so you might try talking to them. They should be doing hammered eventually if they aren't already.

Cool, but I believe the Society of Creative Anachronisms used presses exclusively.
Their coins deserve a lot more attention than they get.

There are myriad replica and counterfeit hammered coins. In modern day these are
almost exclusively stuck by machine or cast. It is virtually impossible to prove that
a coin was struck by hand, so why go to the added expense?

yes. contact the "colonial coin collectors club" (4-c), some of the members who specialize in cobs,etc know where to get modern replica's of hammered coins.

I saw a man making hammered coinage a few years ago.
Only problem is he was in King John's castle in Limerick, Ireland.

Send $5. I'll hammer a few for you.
