2008-D Denver Mint Grabener coin press medals by Moonlight Mint and Daniel Carr
For more information visit www.MoonlightMint.com and www.dc-coin.com .
These medals commemorate the prior U.S. Denver Mint service of Moonlight Mint's Grabener coin press.
All medals were struck on type 2 (rimmed) US Mint coin blanks, unless otherwise noted as type 1 (un-rimmed). Some medals were struck on normal coins, washers, and broken key heads. ALL of these medals were struck ONLY on coin blanks and other debris found inside the coin press
A few of the "1" medals and several of the "25" medals were struck using scrap re-engraved Denver Mint dies which failed to harden properly (mushroomed). All other medals were struck by dies engraved on fresh die steel.
2008-D Denver Mint Grabener Coin Press Medals
Moonlight Mint acquired this coin press in 2007 and completed the restoration of it in 2008.
During the restoration, 412 US Mint coin blanks were found inside it (quantities as follows):
Blank Size / Composition

Total 1-Cent, copper-plated zinc All type 2 Total 110

25-Cent, copper-nickel clad 3 type 1, 245 type 2 Total 248

"1" and "5" medals were struck in smooth collars (unless broad-struck).
"10", "25", and "50" medals were struck in reeded collars (unless broad-struck).
"25" medals were struck using a leftover US Mint 24.3mm collar, unless noted.
Some are ANACS certified (where noted). Others include a signed certificate.
I hope I've added some information of value to all! Have a great nite and a better tommorrow.
