Similar coining press, the external belt drive have been removed and electric motors installed in lieu of steam power.

 

Let the coining begin!

Pay no attention to the men dressed in black gathering near your home!

It would be fun to watch both of those machines in action. (thumbs u

I could use a few more matte proof cents when you have time.

63 or better would be great. They need to be Brown or RB.

Will I need to tone these myself or can you handle that as well?

I think the first one should be a "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" store card.

I like the baskets of coins, (used for real in that era) course, they could very well be blank planchets getting ready to be weighed and the adjusment file on the table. Not quite sure what the hammer might be for, maybe to adjust the coin holder for adjustment filing.

 

Neat, neat token.

good luck with it

That's a seriously cool token in my book.

Really cool. I wonder what was used to hold it still for filing?

Maybe the hammer or mallet was used to tap on sharp edges. Just a guess.

Actually, the hammer was used to smash the fingers of anyone trying to steal the coins, and the file was used to "ream them a new one".
