Default coining (wasnt sure where this would go)

ok, so i have engraved my die's and they are incredibly fine detail, they are made out of water hardened steel so should be fine.

I am planning on coining out of (sterling) silver so i thought a 50 ton press would be fine.
if you know anything about coining, can you take a look at this> http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/31...ulic_Shop.html
and let me know if this will do what i want it to do. the 2 dies are 17mm in diameter (at the striking end, and 40mm at the other end).
the resulting silver coin will be 22mm x 2mm (i am a fan of number 2 haha although this wasn't intentional its just the way its gotta be)

Thank you in advance guys and girls
