COIN PRESSES
Regarding Dick Johnson's submission on the history of coin
presses, Michael Schmidt writes: "Somewhere in here they
missed the development of the roller press, and I can't say
for sure at the moment without tracking down references,
but the early tree coinages were struck on a roller press, not
a screw press. He may be right about the Pine Tree coinage,
but it wouldn't surprise me if it was struck with the roller
press as well."Howard A. Daniel III writes: "I had a major hole in my
library with no copy of "The Art and Craft of Coinmaking;
A History of Minting Technology." I own a sample
cash-style coin for Emperor Tu Duc of Viet Nam made
from an Uhlhorn press and wanted to have the background
information on how it was minted in my library. The E-Sylum
comes through again with information about a book where I
can write a much more complete article about another
Vietnamese coin!"- 2004-10-10
