I have a project for chemistry dealing with coins. Our groups are supposed to come up with a new coin. My group chose pewter as our material. Part of my section of the project is to determine the cost analysis. I need to know about how much the production cost will be. Does anyone have any clue about this or about how I can obtain this information? Anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Originally an alloy of tin with about 15% lead, and sometimes antimony and copper. Modern pewters are usually lead-free. \nPewter coins include the 1757 1 and 3 kreuzer of Bohemia struck during the siege of Prague, and a 5 franc French piece of 1831. Today, Pewter is still used in many things, namely collectible statues, replica coins, monuments, etc. \nCommercially, the new Less Expensive Pewter Coins cost $ 0.98 each, plus $390.00 designing charges for a 1 1/4" sized coin, if orders are placed for 1,000 pieces, or more, at a time. (Figures from : www.churchstewardship.com/coins).\n...From this, one can guesstimate that the actual production costs must be around $ 0.50 to $ 0.60, a piece - when produced in 1,000s. \nHope this helps.

I have no experience in chemistry or in mining, but I do have experience in business and market analysis.  I can give you some general suggestions, but you'll probalby need to do the investigation yourself.\nFirst, you probably want to limit your investigation to mines in the US.\nYou would then want to identify the total number of underground mines in the US (as opposed to open or strip mining).\nThen you would somehow want to assess the size of each mine, perhaps in terms of the total volume of air in each mine.  \nFrom there, you would need to perform some analysis in terms of normal composition of this air (ie. How much CO, how much CO2, O2, Nitrogen, etc.)\nWith this information, you should be able to determine the total volume of CO in each mine at a given time.  With that, you would then want to calculate the toal amount of CO in all mines.\nThe next step, I would think, is to perform some analsysis with regard to the absorption/conversion rate of that CO oxidation catalyst you mention. ie. conversion rate per hour, as an example.\nFrom there, you should be able to calculate how much catalyst would be needed to make this conversion for all CO gas in all mines in the US for a given amount of time and then expand that calculation out to a yearly number.  This would give you a rough estimate of a Total Addressable Market for this product.

First, I got yelled at when I was a 12 year old kid for asking for cheap coins.  I walked in to a coin dealership with something like $4, and I wanted a cheap coin and asked for one.  The dealer scoffed, "We don't sell cheap coins, but we do sell inexpensive ones".  I learned the lesson.  Anyway, go to a coin dealer and ask to see "well circulated" buffalo nickels or eisenhowers.  They'll show you some pretty inexpensive ones.

This appears to be a minting error and the coin is probably worth a few dollars. Take it to a coin collector and have it appraised.

Your query is not very clear to me. All I know is;\n\nThe total direct materials variance is the actual units multiplied by the actual price minus the standard units multiplied by the standard price.

Process Issue.\n\nThe Metal prior to Plating must be free of all contaminants.\n\nHave the Process and quality staff examine the Brass prior to the Plating and do a Controlled experiment with a sample size run.\n\nPerhaps a contaminate is entering the Process at a stage in the Handling of the Brass.\n\nProcess control must be verifiable at all times.\n\nClosing down the Line is costly and very expensive. But, The Product that the customer receives must be defect free.\n\nPlease review the following URL:\n\nhttp://www.finishing.com/96/76.shtml\n\nContact me by email, if I can offer addition assistance.\n\n\nRegards.

The value is about .99 cents - $2.00 depending on what little letter is stamped on the coin is it a P or D or S.\nAnd what coloration does it have look at the site below for a list of values (this guy seems to be selling them though so you should check Ebay to see what they're going for).\nI didn't see the other guys answer checking with his site would probable be best.

look it up on coin price guide....but don't get all excited...even if almost uncirculated it wont be worth a lot...but ...keep it...to some collector you might get 50 cents or a dollar....when i was younger they were worth about a nickel each - but 1942 is not that rare...you  would get more if it were a s mint mark ...1942-S ...as there weren't as many of those...see price guide URL below

Cost to produce/market the product.\nGoing rate for similar products.

Hi. As with most things it depends on the cost of manufacture. : http://www.steelonthenet.com/commodity_prices.html

Congrats, I am working on my thesis too.  There is PDA (potato dextrose agar), V8 agar (made from guess what, V8) and many others.  Each is designed for a specific purpose.  I am not an expert on this, but try a search engine.

yeah, i think so. but then put it into your caluclator and get the answer. (The neg value you ignore because obviously you cant sell them for -money)

Price them out before making your final selection...\n\nhttp://www.jostens.com/\nthat link you can design your own class ring.\n\nhttp://www.balfour.com/\nanother company\n\nhttp://www.artcarved.com/\nand another.\n\nCongratulations and good luck with your future endeavors!

You have not mentioned the type of organisation. Manufacturing or Marketing etc.\nFirst you must divide the organisation into various departments on some related basis.You also must have the data regarding the costs or expenditures incurred.\nCollection Classification comparison itself would reveal many things. \nIf manufacturing organisation you can determine the cost per unit of production ; and compare with various periods.\nWell This is not a forum to cover the entire gamut of cost vcontrol.

Your best bet is to find a coin dealer in your area.  You can check out approximate values by looking at what the coin and silver certifates are selling for on ebay, or at one of the online price guides.  Good luck!

best way is to look it up on ebay.\n\nContacting an apraiser will cost money, usually 75 dollers or more.

Use dimensional analysis: (/ is fraction bar, * is multiply)\n\n25euros/500gr  *  1000g/1kg  *  $1/1.14euros \n\nResult: $25000/570kg  or  $43.86/kg
