2008 KotCT medals being struck on former Denver Mint press

(1/3) > >>

edix:
For those who haven't already heard, the 2008 versions of the Knights  of the Coin Table medals are being struck on a surplus press from the Denver Mint that Daniel Carr purchased and restored himself.
To find out more about his press and the restoration, see his new website:
Moonlight Mint

Goose:
I read the whole article......VERY INTERESTING with great pictures.

TwoShadows:
Very interesting article. NOW we know where our 2008 medallions were struck and the very machine that struck them. I did get my hopes up, at least temporarily, concerning the blanks which Daniel had recovered and made medallions with. Little too costly for this old poor Hoosier but a very unique idea by Daniel to put them back into something worth while. Lots of history in those old blanks and now it is documented right on the blank. Wonder if we are the first medallions to be struck on this press after Daniels initial run?

D. Carr:
Items struck (so far) on my Denver Mint coin press (in the order produced):

2008 1/10 oz gold 100-Amero coins.
"1964-D" Peace Dollar coins.
2008 Hard Times tokens.
2008 KOTCT 39mm medals.
2008 Founding of Carson City Sesquicentenial medals.

Coming soon:

2008 KOTCT 63mm medals.
2009 Ameros.
2009 Hard Times Tokens.

TwoShadows:
I believe we should call the 2009 Hard Times Tokens the 2009 HARDER Times Tokens. Who knows what you can call them in 2010. Perhaps the PreWar for Prosperity Tokens? ;D
