Striking a medal

Jewelry Discussion

I’ve been approached to strike a medal in silver - probably a run of
about 50 copies.

I’ve never done this! I didn’t take the option at college (die
sinking) and wonder if any of my colleagues have advice and
on this subject.

Hi Tony,

I know a sculptor, Joe Orlando, in Wilmington, NC, who has done
this. He created the inaugural proof coins for the Clinton
presidency. He has finally recognized the former president for who
and what he is, and refuses to continue honoring him in this way.
Nevertheless, the work is exquisite.

Feel free to contact him if you’d like… and tell him I sent ya!

All the best,

Dave
