That depends 600,000 - 950,000 strikes ~~at 223 standard tons~~. I think he's faired quite well here. Wait until it approaches or surpasses 1,000,000+ mark. Thanks, Doug. http://goccf.com/t/195840 Edit: scratched out above tonnage reference and corrected in a later response. Quote: Sorry I think I supplied the wrong info above. The 223 tons applied to Hub and Die creation, not coins. Edited by Halo1st 04/29/2017 9:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The 223 tons applied to Hub and Die creation, not coins. Thinking now coins require a little less pressure, say around 60 tons give or take pending material, size and or denomination being produced.

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/29/2017 11:12 pm Thanks Doug - Great stuff. I thought this was a great analogy. Quote: http://www.coinnews.net/2013/09/20/...circulation/ the force to strike a nickel as equivalent to the impact of 3 high-speed trains, the weight of 16 elephants or the combined bite strength of 157 great white sharks. You don't really see much. The pressing action is blazing fast with up to 750 coins struck every minute. A planchet is fed between the two and the press applies tons of pressure to transfer the designs. 35 tons for cents and dimes 50 tons for nickels 60 tons for quarters 120 tons for half-dollars 85 tons for dollar coins Report this Post to the Staff
