<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24770399, member: 101855&quot;]Here a picture of the &quot;coin press&quot; the Philadelphia Mint has one display in its museum area. The people at the Gallery Mint told me it&#039;s really a planchet cutter. It&#039;s not big enough to strike coins. It could not exert enough force. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1584695[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Pictures of the real thing look like this. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1584698[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I say the press at the ANA. They let us fool around with some double strikes and off center strikes. I have the pieces somewhere, don&#039;t have pictures. I find the pieces, I&#039;ll photograph them and post some pictures. That press is also too small to strike real coins in copper or brass. Everything is in white metal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
