Sale or Barter For Trade: Vintage Screw Press - Can Be Used For Making Your Own Coins

[ozcopper]

Have you ever dreamed about making your own traditional coins? Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly 100 year old screw press. It still works well, it would need to be cleaned up and you would need to get some dies made, but if you are looking for a start, this is what you need. This press is very heavy so you will need 2 or 3 people to pick it up. It is located an hour south of Sydney. Will swap for 1/10th oz gold. It is way to heavy for me to ship. A guestimate of weight is 70 or 80kg.

Below are photos of the press and also a couple of coins featuring a screw press. More info on these presses here: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/dictionarydetail/516712 & https://www.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/collection/thomas-simon-collection/screw-press/

Mate, love the Old Style Press

Might be big & seem a bit clunky, but it will still be useable in 1,000 years from now.

Just 1 question though isn't making ur own coins called counterfeiting ?

Not if you make "rounds" that have no face value
