How Coins Are Minted - The Coin Minting Process - You Will Never Look At Coins The Same Again

[@chickenmanfarmer1570]

i watched this sequence back about 6 months ago and the minting/error issues made all the sense in the world to me. thank you, great info for those of us who can't get to the mint!!!

[@AnonomusKity]

I am a millenial, and I really love the massive amount of knowledge and insight you give throughout your channel on precious metals.

[@CoinHELPu]

Thank you

[@georgematthews2877]

Thankyou, Daniel, for the reminder that a coin is just the "tip of the iceberg "!😊

[@jaydelarosa1948]

Got into this to make money since I was down but keep listening to all of you and listening I did. I probably won't sell anything right now but I will get better at taking photos of all these errors that I've found and that I'm hoarding. Trust me after seeing the coins that I have I will never see another coin or currency the same way and not just from here but any coin and currency. Thank your time Daniel

[@EduardoGonzalez-tq9sw]

This is exactly what I've been wanting to know .I've often wonder why no one had a diagram of the minting coin process. Beautifully done thank you .

[@masterofcents.8175]

That is a great way to determine where in the process your error happened or variety. I will use images from there as examples along with some of the coins that I have that are not known to describe how and where it happened.

[@IanPalmerton-n4r]

I am beginning to like your videos sir. Not only are you informative but you also have pertinent information that I have been seeking.

[@null2082]

The content you provide is an incredible value to the Numismatic Community. Another great video!

[@FourthDimensionalHillBilly]

I just started numismaticing if that’s a word. I think you channel content is excellent.

[@6951kasper]

Ha ha... a bit of honesty from me. Just last week I watched a video and you said to watch the minting process. Well I FINALLY did, and boy am I glad I did. I find myself looking at things wondering what it is but really if it is not on this list who cares. I will now spend my time wiser and search the years for the coin, the actually known errors and move on from anything else. Ha ha I have to laugh at myself for not watching this before. Thank you Daniel

[@alfonzoortega3410]

My head is spinning from all this great info, must sit down and check out the website..a must read to really understand the process of coin minting..

[@robertmclaughlin7458]

I teach physics and chemistry in high school. Thank you Daniel for being my coin/numismatic teacher! Some teachers are good. Some are not. Key to the difference is a love of the topic and a desire to share the knowledge. You are a great truthful teacher! Thank you so much. There is no greater a compliment in my view. Keep it going!

[@CoinHELPu]

Wow. I am humbled. Thank you for your compliment! It is much appreciated.

[@collectibles4u]

I love this The minting process is so amazing There's so much that goes into our coins

[@Car1Sagan]

You're all about education Daniel. Much appreciated.

[@victorialidderdale5267]

Very nicely done Daniel. Thank you.

[@CoinHELPu]

Thank you!

[@rf-bh3fh]

Even more detail than I knew. Thank you Daniel for your work and teachings . When you enjoy your chosen occupation it makes life sweeter. It also makes life better. I wish you well.

[@CoinHELPu]

Same to you and thanks

[@james4582]

Good morning Daniel from the shaky side of the country. Very informative video of the coining process thanks

[@CoinHELPu]

Good morning

[@silvermoon5882]

Your videos are so excellent. I have learned so much from you over many videos. Thanks for your work and for sharing so much expert, authoritative, and useful information on coins.

[@shaneyork300]

I put this video on my save list too! I'm going to do all you suggested when the time allows me to do so! Thank you. Have a GREAT Day!!!

[@herbertbradford9579]

Your just getting better and better. Thanks for a great video.

[@CoinHELPu]

Thank you

[@tonizumpano7454]

You amaze me!!! Super great video.

[@rachelbenavides3725]

I love your shows. You explain everything as it should be.

[@gjf20842]

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing this information.

[@williamedwards6519]

DANIEL! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for providing this detailed super informative walk thru of the minting process! I stopped using forums in the community, specifically, over debates as to what causes double dies, what is hub doubling, etc.. etc.. years ago when I was just starting out, I would submit pictures and ask questions on other forum and chat boards of coins that I had. And it may just have been my rookie perspective, however every single thing I submitted these experienced collectors at 10 20 years behind them, seemed quick to dismiss literally every single suggestion I I posted. The only supporting information they would provide would be the same link to the same KZbin video defining what is a double die and what isn't. Yes I'm going to the website yes I'm reading it all yes and printing out all the graphics and posting them on my wall! I STILL contend, however, that every doubling, regardless if it's hub doubling or die doubling they're all caused from the same device. Will there be a hub to make a die or die to make a hub to make it more dies... Doubling a feature seen on the coins are not caused by multiple strikes of the hammer die to the blanchet. As you said that the doubling is already on the die before the plant should even gets there.

[@earleneprocter4699]

Hi Dan, very helpful. Your looking bettere and better.

[@ectogeoszethip136]

SOOO IMFORMATIVE DANIEL THANKS.

[@MarkedMoneyTech]

Very helpful resources Daniel. Thanks for sharing your insight!

[@michaelpugh4894]

Great info, never knew that. You have revived my coin collecting hobby.

[@masterofcents.8175]

Once again great video Daniel thank you..

[@dougslifelegacy9056]

Thanks for the info Daniel. This tells us a lot about where the coin collecting hobby (numismatics) has taken us to today. I am an oldtimer and we mainly ficused on key dates and mintmarks in my heydays and errors and varieties were not as much important. Mostly very rare and it didnt consume as much of our time as it does now. There are so many things to look for now. Besides a jewelers loupe a digital microscope comes in real handy. I am so glad we are bringing in so many young numismatists and hope it continues to grow!

[@lincolncentralcoins1452]

Awesome & useful information! Thanks for Sharing my friend

[@JoeDurbin]

Daniel some great info sir, i feel like we should all understand the minting process if we are going to search and collect varieties,errors etc., thank you sir and have a great week!

[@CoinHELPu]

Thank you!

[@xmen3132]

Best site of info on minting process.

[@orangetruckman]

Great information sir 👍🏻

[@sigstatistics]

I would pay real money for Daniel to create a master class video series on the minting process. One where he can go through all of the details with pictures illustrations. I would pay a mint just to have a video series on what happens in the coin chamber and how dies are made from A to Z.

[@CoinHELPu]

Hard to get those materials but could be done.

[@papagiorgio5894]

Thanks for the video

[@aaabeverages7152]

all time best 👀video.👌👍

[@paulhampton4699]

Great video Daniel. I find myself looking for the tiny stuff sometimes, but then I go thru looking for the major stuff too. Depends on the goal. Understanding the minting process is like basic math. We all ought to know it and understand the process. Very cool!

[@leebrewer1190]

Great reference Daniel = thanks!

[@paulgoss1371]

Great video Daniel. However I am a machinist by trade so I had no problem following the process. I’ve never operated a coin press but I’ve operated just about every other type of machinery and believe me I’d love to have a job at the Philadelphia mint. It’s about 3 1/2 hrs east of where I live but I would have no problem relocating. That would be awesome seeing as how I love coins. I’ve checked it out briefly and you have to have serious connections to land that job and I don’t have that kind of juice.

[@jonathancsmelko2361]

Great information (a lot too) Thanks for taking my call, Merry Christmas and Best Wishes to you for the New Year !

[@CoinHELPu]

Merry Christmas!

[@craigalexander3650]

VERY VERY Informative. I guess if I had done some research I would have eventually gotten these processes in order. Thanks for you doing it though. Extremely informative.

[@channelhopping1562]

Well explaine ...Thanks

[@Marmots4reFun]

Terrific information! Thank you, Daniel.

[@meteoman7958]

Thanks Daniel, this video is a keeper.

[@vincentyoung9059]

Very informative

[@aliciaraeallman5113]

Luv your channel. Thanks for the help

[@ladyb648]

This is great information to know and learn it will make hunting easier and more fun when you understand the process. I will go to the web site to learn more. I'm sure I will be very interested being that I used to work as an Quality Assurance inspector for a stamping company for about 8 years. Thanks again for sharing.

[@barrybarney6085]

Hey Daniel thanks for all of the great info . You r my 411 on coins. I have decided to stay in Mesquite, Nevada. For the upcoming coin show. Its gonna be the best vacation Ive ever been on . I know that Ive been blessed all of my life with the luck of the Irish oh r something to that effect. I also know that its all been because of the grace of God. I slso kmow that the power of positive thinking has played a great role in this wonderful life that I am living. So I am going to vegas with the attitude that.even if my penny dont turn out to be what I know it is then at least we all will know. And I have a fewother coins that I can sell to help me get enough for my teeth. Although im getting used to not having them , it sure will be nice to be able to smile and lol in public. This is the firs time in my life that Ive looked forward to going to the Dentist .

[@barrybarney6085]

Thank again Daniel for all you do for all of us. I am forever in your debt for all Ive learned from you Sir. And a special thanks goes out to You Tube for making all of this possible. Thank You everyone.

[@kathysunshine7072]

Very interesting Daniel! Have you ever been to one of the mints?

[@CoinHELPu]

No I haven't.

[@HighPlainsDrifter_2025]

Thankyou, helpful info

[@rickypoff7302]

Another great video. I thought I was pretty much up to speed on minting process. Never thought much on coin coils. And how much of that part of the process can cause errors. My mind alway always started with a sheet of metal at the punching stage.

[@timbeattie7600]

nice info

[@cajuncoinhunter]

I wish the mint would make videos or let the pros go in and do some on the different style presses in use today..... That video would catch on fire .....

[@robintraina217]

amazing

[@estebanvela7976]

I did place an order from you for a roll of mercury dimes , halves and something else

[@CoinHELPu]

It was shipped but holidays hold things up.

[@malcolmscoins7581]

Nice to know

[@moneyiskey4252]

What's the next coin show you will be at

[@CoinHELPu]

Greenhills in the Cincinnati, Ohio area Dec. 29th

[@jamesvasek2011]

I have a coin that I would like you to look at it and tell me if it's worth anything it's an error coin if you do that for people if not just let me know or not

[@CoinHELPu]

coinauctionshelp.com/forum/index.php

[@Car1Sagan]

Is the process the same with modern proof coins where 60% or more get a 70 grade?

[@CoinHELPu]

Quality control is better for the planchet and the coin afterward for modern coins. Minting process is relatively the same.

[@margaretstoner4701]

BOYFRIEND...excellent VIDEO. I do have a question. ( OF COURSE I do). If I purchased a 2000 COIN and it said west point. AND they only made this in Philadelphia or west point...i assume it has no mint mark on the reverse?

[@CoinHELPu]

No coin has a mint mark on the reverse now.

[@jaydelarosa1948]

I have a question for you. If it's a metal blanket going thru of metal. How can you just get a few silver pennies or copper nickels and other coins on different metal. You would have to put that metal blanket there.

[@CoinHELPu]

Yes they would

[@jaydelarosa1948]

It's All good Daniel God Bless you and your family Merry Christmas 🎄.

[@jaydelarosa1948]

How would you figure that since it's a blanket

[@jaydelarosa1948]

And the get get struck at by 60 pounds of pressure wouldn't that destroy the key if it was struck wrong

[@jaydelarosa1948]

Dies get created by the master die which is a digital portrait that is done in 2 and 3 d which makes sense now a lot of sense

[@jaydelarosa1948]

So long metal blanket get cut so I don't understand why it how other size blanchets get in

[@vernonhaines5582]

You are knowledgeable and I love your videos… don’t apologize and say go read this because some people want it explained to them and don’t wanna have to read and hope they understand what they read…. All your videos are rushed and you should take your time and stop …. But nice work.

[@jaydelarosa1948]

So the die can't be double unless made like that hince

[@jrpcoins]

Hey Daniel, Can a copper penny planchet be mixed in with a bunch of dime planchets, and then be pulled out once it was noticed but only after having gone through the upsetting mill and before the stamping press? Causing the upset rim intended for a dime on a penny. And then grabbing that same penny planchet and tossing it back in with the other copper Penny's to finish being struck? I have a penny which I'll be posting on your coinhelpu community and see what people think? I'm assuming this is what happened to my coins as I can't find anything on why it looks the way it does. The inside of the penny has a raised collar the same size as a dime with readed edged on the inside of those rings? Again I'll post and see what people think it is?

[@CoinHELPu]

No, this can't happen and why I recommend reading error-ref.com website as a book.

[@jaydelarosa1948]

So I don't know where you from, what country but in layman's terms you would have to make the master hub the way you wanted due to the fact that you can modify it however you want it.

[@lifeindetale]

Ok the process is not easily understood unless the machining parts and pressing tools are shown in detail.. that little diagram of a cookie factory does nothing for someone like me that has coins that are possibly mint errors and need to have more detail on dies.. like how is the die fastened is it screwed into something.. chambers? How's the hammer attached?

[@CoinHELPu]

You don't need to know all of that to learn what a mint error or variety is. If you don't know what the different between a variety and a mint error then you need to study. You need to read about them and study images. Knowing about how the die is installed will not help you and that is why you're struggling. You're looking for the wrong things.

[@masterofcents.8175]

I think on your page that you cover a lot of the stuff that error reference.com does not cover.

[@CoinHELPu]

I try to have it all on one page without too much "talking".

[@jaydelarosa1948]

So the master die is made by a machine engraving the portrait into steel

[@timpace9777]

Great info Daniel. Wexler's doubleddie.com has several good layman's explanations on hub doubling and misalignment also.✌

[@CoinHELPu]

I always recommend that website

[@alancook9074]

No I have an unstuck Penney never have found one

[@jamesgossweiler1349]

Oh, so it’s just crappy quality control?
