I have poured a new copper bar today and there is a contest for guessing the weight, as usual it is to be guesses in grams but only to 1 decimal place. The winner will get one sbi and for every 5 guesses I will add one more prize for the next closest guess.
Example 365.7 grams
To add a bit of fun to the bar I pr3ssed a 1976 half dollar into the clay.
Here is the molten copper in th3 mould and I am using a blow torch to slowly cool the copper bar.
Here is the bar still in the mould, and it is still bloody hot and I waited for a good few mins before dunking it into some cold water.
To clean the bar I used a stiff wire brush and then used my polishing wheel to make it a bit more shiny.
As you can see the definition is not really good, but it was something I was trying.
The same with this impression was rather lack lustre but it is what it is.
I can't show the sides as I have stamped the weight on the sides, but have fun guessing.
Last weeks contest winners
So there was only 11 entries which was a little disappointing but we can do better next time, there was no exact guesses so we have 5 winners each receiving 1 sbi each.

Sbi shares will be paid for in order of winners over the next week, thank you for the 11 people who entered.
No upvote required but if you want to show some love that would be amazing.
