25c 2012 Double Die

oh thank you numidam . we pressed steel and copper and alumiun , with a 50 ton H press this was not for coins. I have worked with presses in my line of work all my career. the trade I worked in we get extensive training in pressing and hydraulic . the biggest steel object we ever jacked weighed 296 tons . we did that move with a group from Ontario and the united states. our 50ton H presses was for connections. our dies was made in Germany and I have seen them break when that happens they almost explode made of tungen carbide thank you so much

thank you for sharing. we have used a press similar to this. the press we used was to connect metals lenghts and bend them our dies are 3 inches wide. finish press metal is down to 2 inches. you would not believe what a drop of grease or hydraulic fluid can do to a solid piece of metal. in one of these presses. it will cut ruts deep into the metal like a knife in butter . numidam question I have found a 1976 nickel dollar. missing the island . I read the Canadian coin listing. there is nothing on that coin . but I have found out that the dies used in the earlier year 1968- 1972 with some variations was used to strike those coins. so the year 1976 would line up like 1968 .island -no island -little island . these comments are in the Canadian catalogue . the one I have is dated 2012. do you know if the is a listing for a 1976 nickle dollar with a missing island your help would be appreciated have a great one
