Default Re: Engraving coining dies

I have eight presses in my shop now. After long and careful thought I think I can bear to go down to (sniff!) just seven and still live. So here are the details about the press mentioned a couple posts up...

For Sale: Zeh & Hahnemann #5 percussion press.
Weight: appx 2500 pounds
Capacity: Appx 30 tons (dime to nickel size full-face strikes)
Type: Power-assisted screw press
Motor: 2hp three-phase
Location: NW Arkansas.
Tooling included: Flat hammer face on ram.
Transportation: Can help load onto trailer or flatbed.
Price: $2000 FRNs (federal reserve notes)
or: 110 tr oz silver
or: 2.2 tr oz gold
Pics attached below. The press is currently in my shop but not set up and running. I have another one almost exactly like it but slightly larger, a Z&H #7, which is shown on my shop tour page at http://www.shirepost.com/ShopTour.html If anyone has any questions about how it works just ask. The price is for the press as shown... if you want me to make die holders and set it up for a certain operation I could do that, but it would be extra. This press would need to be bolted securely down to a solid foundation (concrete slab preferably) as otherwise it will try to "walk" in operation. Price is current as of posting date... could change if the SHTF or prices of metals change significantly.
