<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPaykel, post: 212738, member: 8442&quot;]yeah i understand that, im talking about the rating of the machine though, if a machine is rated at 400 tons im assuming on a 1 sq. in. coin it would be 400 tons/sq. in or 800000psi, i doubt that same machine would deliver 800000psi to a 10sq.in coin, most likely 80000psi, but I could be wrong, it depends on the rating system. Regardless, I&#039;m hesitant to say 60 tons of force to mint a quarter, I was quoted a rate of 750 coins per minute, cold forged, without lubrication. I wish the US mint wasn&#039;t so tight lipped about it but i suppose its information they don&#039;t want everyone having. Thanks for all the help everyone. I&#039;m still searching for something more definitive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
