[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3696715, member: 84179"]You must have led a sheltered life. :) When I was a kid, I used to do this with my Grandfather’s bench vise. The handle was long enough that even a 10 year old could generate enough force to get an impression. You can also stack a couple coins together and hit it with a hammer, but they scatter all over the place and tend to be out of round. :banghead: BTW: Hydraulic presses tend to flatten the coin to the point where it is almost unrecognizable and too large in diameter to spend. :facepalm: I used to be young and stupid. Now I’m not young anymore :confused:[/QUOTE]
