my pewter hoarde

Remember when I was carving a mold for pewter casting? Last night I cast my pieces. Now I see why it is worth spending the time to make a "perfect" mold. I cast 36 little coins in less time than it took to carve the soapstone mold.  And in another hour I could have doubled my count. But, since my intention is to give the coins as tokens at Pennsic A&S, I think this will be enough.
 
(I don't know why the computer has rotated my image, but I can't seem to fix it.)
