[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2664594, member: 4781"]No, it isn't a shotgun. But it [I]is[/I] more dangerous ! Circa 1894 Mossberg Manufacturing Company rolling mill. I've been using it the last few months to roll out metal to make my own blanks (such as the 2-troy-oz silver blanks for the WW1 Broken Sword tokens): [IMG]http://www.moonlightmint.com/equipment_files/image002.jpg[/IMG] This brings up the question of what did the US Mint use for rolling mills. The coin presses are often discussed and written about. But not much seems to be known about the rolling mills. For those that are unfamiliar with this type of machinery, the purpose of it is to roll out an ingot of metal into a sheet from which coin blanks can be punched. I documented the restoration of my rolling mill here: [url]http://www.moonlightmint.com/equipment.htm[/url] .[/QUOTE]
