Collector's Coins by the Alaska Mint
The medallion content of the coin is .999 fine silver or gold in weights from 1/10 ounce to 2 ounces. From production to packaging, all medallions are handled with gloved hands and dusted with moisture-free air which inhibits tarnishing and discoloration.
Each medallion starts out as an idea which is then given to the talented artisans that specialize in detailed graphic design. The design is then transferred to a precision cut steel die. After the die is cut, it is heat-hardened, allowing it to withstand tons of pressure. The die is then polished to a mirror surface and ready to produce fine medallions.
The press is a hydraulic Hobbing press that was built in the late 1950's and originally used in a general machine shop. In 1990, the Alaska Mint rebuilt and retooled the press and has been producing medallions of the highest quality ever since.
