It was exactly as described, I’m a Native American Cherokee Indian, and like things as do many of my friends, I needed something to pour my remaining copper in instead of a muffin pan as you all that melt copper it fuses to the pan and can’t get it out without ruining the pan, I purchased this mold and glad I did, I give the copper Indian coins to family and friends they love them the mold is of good quality I have used mine over 50 times with very little effect on the mold.
