LOL, I bet. Have you pressed any coins with it? I have a hydraulic press that I want to make some "rustic" coining dies for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yes we have used it to press medallions. If I really wanted some nice ones I'd contact the shire post mint; they do it professionally! One thing about screwpresses is that the pressure spike is high when it bottoms out and so it "squirts" the metal into the die better than a steadily increasing pressure. (Nice thing about hydraulic presses is that you can build them to whatever pressure you need!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
