I am getting a little interested in making replica coinage using
silver as the metal of choice.   I would like ideas on how to
cheaply and at home make replica coins from a master and silver
rounds.

I have no experience doing any casting and no experience doing
any engraving or die making or planchet cutting and no tools
other than a propane torch and a regular toolset (hammer, chisel,
screwdriver, etc.) that is way too big for fine detail work.

Any information that would be relevant to what I am doing
including suggestions or past experiences would be appreciated.
