Default Re: Engraving coining dies

Tom,

Thanks for the invite!

I'm thinking more of a 'jig' for hammer-struck coins than an actual press - limited space as well as limited funds.

Of course I can see myself trying it and liking it, so I'll remember that you have 'extra' presses, just in case I find myself needing one.

Does anybody make a unit for hammer-struck work? Something with an upper & lower die holder, collars if you want them, and some sort of lever so you can hold the upper die down while giving the rod a good solid whack? Be nice for folks like myself looking at extremely low volume.

I agree with you on the replica business, but some of the techniques you'd use to make a replica could also be used to 'borrow' those design elements you like.
