<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 7320519, member: 19765&quot;]As we all know back in the 1800&#039;s and well into the 1900&#039;s there were diesinkers galore!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Well, maybe not galore but there were quite a few who had a business making Tokens, Medals and whatever else was needed.&nbsp; Sure, it was a long, long time ago but I&#039;m thinking someone here may have known someone who had a neighbor or great-great-grandfather who had a business making Tokens and Medals.&nbsp; The point of this thread is to talk about coin presses and whether anyone here had come across one?&nbsp; In the link below there&#039;s information about a coin press that was sold at Stack&#039;s Auction house in January of 2021 for $16,100.&nbsp; As I read further, I found out these became illegal to own privately.&nbsp; Still, if I could get my hands on one, I wouldn&#039;t think anything illegal about it at all!&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1279413[/ATTACH] How about you, have you ever come across one or known anyone to have one?!&nbsp; Any pics or comments?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coinweek.com/education/numismatic-history/unique-items-1830s-vintage-coin-screw-press-from-frontier-deviercy-co/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/education/numismatic-history/unique-items-1830s-vintage-coin-screw-press-from-frontier-deviercy-co/" rel="nofollow">https://coinweek.com/education/numismatic-history/unique-items-1830s-vintage-coin-screw-press-from-frontier-deviercy-co/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1279414[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1279417[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
