Hi Walt - I know the strikes cost extra to make, I've always wondered how much but won't ask here. My point mostly is that if silver keeps going up, the risk of having inventory isn't as bad. I have had private coins minted, was surprised that the cost wasn't as bad to strike them, but the model and dies fees can be be stiff. Just out of curiosity, what do we do with our old dies? Are they owned by the club or by Sunshine Mint?
