<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Strikeluster, post: 921066, member: 25821&quot;]Yes Duke and when you say strike these coins werent struck they just stuck the planchet between two dies and screwed it down to force the transfer of the design to the coin. I saw an example of the press myself and the turning handel for the screw press was 15 foot long and took two mint employees to screw it down. The results were less then spectacular pressure wise to force the silver into the dies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for you imput</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
