We are one of the highest rated manufacturers of
die struck medals, medallions, coins, key tags and lapel pins in the
United States. A family owned and operated business spanning two
generations, we set the standard for quality and excellence in the
industry.
Most of our manufacturing is done in-house, here in the U.S., at our
location just outside Chicago. Each process, from the cutting of dies
to the finishing of each piece, is completed by hand. This allows us
complete control at each step to ensure the legendary quality of our
U.S. made products. When the situation arises, we also can import
products from overseas.
All of our U.S. made pieces are die struck, which is a much higher
quality process than casting. Die striking allows for much greater
detail and a smoother surface area than any cast piece. First, a die is
cut using your artwork. Our die cutters carve into softened steel dies
to reproduce your image, the dies are then heat-treated which hardens
them to ensure they will withstand up to 1500 tons of pressure which is
applied to the solid brass, nickel-silver or copper blanks in the
coining or striking process . The piece is coined by hand-loading a
metal blank in between the two dies, cycling the press so the dies
squeeze or strike the blank transferring the image to the blank. We then
trim the piece of the excess area of the blank that was pushed out when
pressure was applied. Finally, each piece is carefully finished in a
multi-step process, which is all done by hand. Each step is handled with
care by our expert team.
At Mint Masters, we take a great deal of pride in producing only the
finest in quality. Our company-wide focus is aimed at the individual
excellence of each and every piece that leaves our factory. When quality
makes a difference, choose Mint Masters!
