Like fine meals at your favorite restaurant,
Cohen Mint products begin with only the
finest ingredients. We have contacts with
several of the largest American precious
metals distributors who we use for our raw
materials. We make sure never to buy raw
material from a company unless that supplier
has passed our strict quality control
standards.
When we select metal for our production line,
we use only bullion from the top refineries and
mints throughout the world, such as Johnson
Matthey, Engelhard, Credit Suisse, Pamp
Suisse, and various world mints such as the
Royal Canadian Mint.
It goes without saying that every single Cohen
Mint product is 100% guaranteed to contain
the weight and metal purity that is advertised.

It takes lots of different tools to make coins.
Here is just a small sampling of the equipment
used by the Cohen Mint. Some of it is manually
operated, and some of it is powered.

The raw bars of gold and silver are carefully
rolled to the proper thickness required for
each different kind of coin. After each pass
the thickness is measured, and the sheet
becomes longer and longer as it becomes
thinner and thinner.

the thickness is measured, and the sheet
becomes longer and longer as it becomes
thinner and thinner.
Once the sheets have been rolled to the right
thickness, they are brought to the punch press.
This machine can be loaded with tools that can
punch out any of the diameters we use for
making coins.
Right now I am making blanks for our One
Gram Gold coins. Each and every blank is
carefully weighed on a precise digital scale to
make sure each one is within tolerance.
After this step, the blanks are cleaned and then
sent to the press, where our coins are minted.
Each different kind of coin requires a different
amount of pressure, our One Gram Gold coins
for instance need 40 tons to mint properly.

After minting each individual coin is again
inspected to make sure the image came up
the right way, that there are no manufacturing
defects.
Once it passes muster, it is placed in a
holder without touching human skin and is
ready to go out to the customer, perhaps you.
Our coins leave having been measured,
weighted, visually checked and tested
multiple times, ensuring that only the highest
quality product makes it out the door.

Any rejected coins, along with the webbing
material around the blank holes is remelted
and sent back through the production line.
Care is taken to make sure that equipment
which touches molten gold does not touch
molten silver, to prevent any contamination.
Only the purest products are good enough
for our customers.
Our growing reputation is based on the trust
our vast customer base has in our products.
They trust us for the accuracy of the weight
and purity of the coins they buy from us, and
we wouldn't have it any other way!

WHY BUY FROM COHEN MINT ?
Once we've got our precious metal raw materials, we
need to create the steel dies used to impress our design
into it. All drawings and designs were done by me
personally. The 2005 and forward one gram gold, silver,
and 1/20 ounce gold steel dies were professionally
engraved by an outside company according to my
drawings. All other coin dies were engraved by hand.
Here is a looseleaf worksheet that I did for the 2008 logo
and several 2008 coins. The engraving company cut the
designs according to artwork selected from the sheet.

For the many dies that are produced in house,
engraving has to be done by hand.
Here I am creating a punch that will be used to
make letters on the Pine Tree Shilling silver
piece. I start with a 1/8 inch round steel bar and
I file it until the letter or design is complete.
Once I heat harden it, I will then sink the design
into the die I am creating. After completing the
entire design all around, I will then heat harden
the entire die, and then I'm ready to start
making coins!

Each die is a different size, some are quite large, while
others, like this one for the One Troy Grain Gold are
quite small.
After turning on a lathe, the letters " 1 G " are engraved
onto the face, and then this small die is placed into a
holder.
Due to the very small size of this coin, it is the only one
not made on the hydraulic press. Each and every One
Troy Grain Gold coin is made on a manual hand press.
Even the lightest setting on the hydraulic press would
damage the soft gold disk and tiny steel die beyond
repair.

At each step of the production process the gold
and silver that will become our coins is continually
measured and weighed.
Quality control is extremely important to our
company. Our reputation means everything, I
would not put my name on anything I wasn't
completely confident in.
Our coins and bars have travelled the world. We
have had customers in just about every country
imaginable, on every single continent. There are
not a lot of places across the globe where our
products have not been mailed to. We take great
pride in our growing good name.
Our products are recognised for their purity, good
looks and accurate weight. Resale values for our
coins and bars equal those of any of the "Big
Names".

Digital calipers are used to gauge the proper
thickness down to the hundredth of a
millimeter. A little bit too thin and the coins will
be underweight, too thick and they will be
wastefully overweight.
Care is taken to end up with a finished product
that contains the weight advertised plus a
minute amount of extra, but never below the
advertised amount. If any metal is over-rolled
or otherwise manufactured out of tolerance, it
is remelted and the process started over again.
We pay a lot of attention to make sure
everything leaving our facility is just right. Our
name is everything.
