Hello Orchidland,

    This is a related question to responses that suggested rolling out
    the silver coins instead of melting them and forming ingots. 

    If I have a one ounce 24K gold coin and want to roll it out, does it
    need to be annealed periodically???? We're talking pure gold here,
    which is supposed to be very ductile. 

Voices of experience, please respond,
Judy in Kansas
