How many were made? probably quite a few since the roller press had I believe a couple hundred dies and was capable of striking 10,000 coins a minute The question is how many got out? I found a sale of one variety of them by Heritage in Aug 2008, for $5,175 Report this Post to the Staff

Probably required to much maintenance. Does anyone have a pic of one of the tokens? Hope my question is ok. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/05/2011 04:16 am The problem with the roller press was excessive die breakage and the fact that the press spent more time being down having dies changed than it spent up and running. Whenever a die broke it had to be shut down because it wasn't it would make tons of defective coins. Once it was stopped you would have to check out the hundreds of dies to find the broken one, change it. Then you might have another die break shortly after you restarted it and then you had to go through the whole process all over again. Report this Post to the Staff
