NEW BOOK: STRIKING GOLD IN ALASKA, 7TH EDITION

Dick Hanscom of Alaska Rare Coins has published a new edition of his book on the nuts and bolts of making tokens from placer gold. For more information, contact Dick at akcoins@mosquitonet.com . -Editor

Striking Gold in Alaska 7ed ed book cover I am pleased to announce the publication of the 7th edition of my book "Striking Gold in Alaska, Making tokens from placer gold."

Why another edition? Well, the 6th edition is nearly sold out, and because I can.

However, there is new information in this edition. The 6th edition was 221 pages, while the new 7th edition is 258 pages.

There are new techniques and improved techniques. There are even new procedures for new products.

It tells you what I have been up to since 2017 - two trips to England (why is that in there?), Russian wire money, new silver products and other adventures in minting.

Of course there is an up to date description of all the gold tokens I have made since 2017, by my count 11 more 1 DWT tokens. But there are also 1/10 and 1/2 oz. gold tokens.

We take a look at what "smallforest" is doing, and equipment from Ukraine for hand striking tokens.

And there are hints of what is in store for 2021 and later.

For your numismatic education, we look at the Ansell Sovereign, and how this relates to what I am doing.

This 7th edition is available for $20 via media mail and $22 via priority mail from:
