Naughty or Nice? Canadian Mint Christmas Coins.

These in my opinion are GREAT gifts and are perfect for sharing and giving.
I love mine, and I have been able to keep one for myself every year.

Watched on Firefox! I wouldn't do it for anyone else @Admin , those bloody adverts are unwatchable.
Anyway, these are really fun things, as you say, and would make great presents for children. Since there are no children on my list and I don't want one for myself, I'll give them a miss. I can see the attraction though.
Incidentally Jon, you need to be really careful with things just coming off in your hand. Especially when dealing with hot metal.

Well I can say that the HOT METAL side of things is complete. I am EXTREMELY pleased about the results so far. My next step is removing them from the sprue and then cleaning them up and any imperfections.
I can not wait to show you. I have been doing some video work with my son who has helped me.
ALL 3 large flasks are poured. I just ( yes just ) with my hands still freezing pulled the last sprue out of the investment and put it in a bowl with the other 2. So watch this space.
For channel members ( you might get a very early peak of the video to come before they are assayed... and for everyone else, that video will come out after they are all assayed and available to buy. I am working really hard this week despite pain. But there we go. I have a months worth of catch up work do to. So back in the workshop after this coffee.
