Hi Judy,

    I don't anneal my 24k when rolling it out to the thickness I want. I
    do anneal it after I have reached the thickness I want and before I
    use it. Usually for me this involves using it to laminate onto silver
    and I find it easier to get the gold to conform to the silver surface
    I want to put it on when it is dead soft. I am not using coins but
    what my supplier calls "mini bars" 

Hope this helps
