A reason I would like to do it is because A. i can get more ornate and thin designs in there than i can get in a mill and B. i dont have enough money to rent a mill or have someone do it for me.

If the 9 dollar butane torch reaches 1700 C that would be great... then i could actually use copper instead of using ZINC.

At the moment i want someone to please post a linc to where i can buy zinc in either the minneapolis minnesota area or where i can buy it online.. Or can someone tell me how to remove teh 97.5 percent zinc from the 2.5 percent copper in modern pennies?

thanks
