Coin Stamping Press

[SilverStan]

So Im researching Dies and Hydraulic press.

Ive established Im looking at at least 100 Tonne in pressure.

This is a challenge as I dont speak Chinese or Indian and thats where all the coin press  machines seem to be.

Anyone attempted this research and got any further?

TIA

There is an outfit in Birmingham that do it if I recall. Will speak to them when I get into work next week if I can find their details again. 

I was looking into coin presses too as I looking into limited edition historical coin reproductions

I’ve thought about this before, even drew up a scale drawing for a die preparation for 1g silver coins.(dies are expensive!)

Depends what you are looking to do I suppose, stamp a round or make a coin? (I’m referring to the latter as a more precise/cleaner impression)

If you are looking to stamp a round, rather than press a coin, would a screw press be better suited?

Id be looking for a clean impression to stamp my artwork onto precious metals.

I have a press already for my hand poured but only 10 tonne.

Thanks for your reply.

What kind of pressure can you obtain from a garage sized hydraulic jack ?
They seem to cope with lifting lorries effortlessly.

you can get 30 ton for around £100

when you get 40 ton up it jumps to around £500

In my experience over 30 ton is a waste. Precious metals are soft. Often just a hammer will due fine. Using a press I found it easy to deform bars. Even large ones like 10oz silver.

I think you need to look at how mints produce coins

I've produced my own coins and bars. Like I said speaking from experience. But coins are different than larger bars. For coins it's most economical to get them made in China. It costs $250-300 for the die, approx $100US for the artwork to your specifications. From there you can choose what metal(s) you want it made from. MOQ is usually 100 to 1000. I find you can negotiate these. Samples are available at a higher rate. It can be shipped smoothly and with little problems at customs.
