  1. Thanks for helping......... The token i am making would be 17mm diametre, 1mm thick, with a design similiar in complexity to a silver sixpence and made with standard .925 silver. The blank would be cold. It might look similar to this The Coins of British India - George V (1911-1936) - Cupronickel 1/12 Anna & 1/2 Pice I was hoping to do it with one strike in a small press but am not sure what press would be up to the job. The dies are going to be made professionally for around
  2. I would like to cold strike a similarly detailed sized and thickness silver sixpence with the smallest press that could do the job. I spoke to royal mint and they did not know but guessed at 80 to 100 tons but I did not go into what knid of equipment they had based their answer on. I looked at a few 100 ton presses and they seem huge industrial things. I also guessed that a fly press with momentum might behave differently to a slow squeeze hydraulic press. This is as far as i got because I started to get confused with pressure and force and momentum and surface area which all must inter relate. So with all that in mind kind people what would one think? Many thanks for helping me out so far Ed
  3. Does anybody know how many tons it would take to cold strike a silver six pence? Many thanks Ed
