That is very decent of you!
Many thanks, I would be very interested to see how it goes.
Edit to Add:
I was thinking maybe a dab of silicone gel would hold the coin in the mold without it moving when the silver is poured on top.
Might make it a bit of a bugger getting it our of the mold and it would need cleaning off afterwards but would stop it moving and stop it getting underneath.
jislizard- it's not going to work. i tried it with a 1oz pour. the 1st one just left a round negative impression where the coin was. the coin did not adhere and the bar did not pick up any detail from the coin at all. the second attempt.... well the coin dissappeared into the bar. melted in.
silver has a surface tension when molten that is far too high to pick up anything but the heaviest detail. that's why they mint stuff i guess......

Anyone selling, bought or made any hand pours lately ?
Saw this one on eBay:
CCCP USSR Silver hand poured style loaf bar almost 150 grams / 5 ounce, g / oz.
The seller makes them himself: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CCCP-USSR...r-almost-150-grams-5-ounce-g-oz-/311190543763

I know who that seller is without even looking it up!
And.. confirmed.
A little scary that it's gotten to this point for me. :lol:
Nice bar, though.
I'd have to check with them first, but I could probably put an interested buyer in direct non-eBay contact with them, to save both parties a few bucks.
PM me, and I'll see what I can do.

Very excited to report when everything arrives.

Thought I would fire up the old smelting seeming as the new place has a space for it now. Got this in the mail today so I thought I would test It out seeing as there is a rekindle on this forum for the old hand poured bars
Also had a shot at stamping it
Makes a pinky length round bar (a long pinky)

Are they still making spoon molds?
The only ones I can find seem to be from the American Civil War era and are for making pewter spoons, and I generally only find one half of the mold for sale.
If I could start stacking tea spoons it would solve several of my problems in one go.
