What were they asking for it?
That is really neat. Buy it and get it working and post a video.
If you had the place to put it, what a great conversation piece.
Smitten with DBLCs.
Does it work?
Not sure, no price on it. I'll go check this weekend

A coin counter that counts English pennies/// The US has never made a penny// We make CENTS!!!!
The US MInt and US Treasury both use the term interchangeably. So, yes, we do make pennys and cents.
That distinction disappeared long ago.
I sold mine for $100 when I quit the shop. Figuring it will be a cold day in hell when I ever want any bulk silver coins.
It was different though.
What I wish I had kept was a slotted gizmo to detect counterfeit gold coins.

Resurrecting an old thread............... bigtime36: What price were they asking for the coin counter, and did you pull the trigger on it?
My family would appreciate that in our living room.
He who knows he has enough is rich.
It's indescribably beautiful! It reminds me of the 4th of July!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I checked Amazon: Sold out decades ago!
I recall that Horn & Hardarts Cafeterias in Manhattan used them to process the coinage in their teller cages. Thems was the days. Peace Roy

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.H&H!! THERE's a blast from the past! I used to go to one in downtown Philly when I would visit my grandparents & make our trek down to "Smelters Row" to check thru coffee cans full of junk silver to fill holes in my Whitman folders!
The last time I was at the store it was for sale it was not in the area I saw last. But I think I remember seeing it elsewhere. I think they were asking around $1000

wow
but how does one value such a thing even if it works...
My cousin has one sitting in his rec room. It works ok but does jam up from time to time. I think it's neat but also a monstrosity unless you have the space for something like that. He bought it at a thrift store a few years back...

I'd buy it. Cool machine. Like an old letterpress.
