Need an early Denver Mint Ferracute press?

Ron Landis is selling one -- mechanically restored by the late Joe Rust, cosmetically touched up by Ron. All it needs is feed fingers and dies. Also includes a remote control console that was used for people to strike their own souvenir coins at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.

Try this Facebook link.



That's where I saw he's selling it. If you don't have a Facebook account, I don't know if you'll be able to see it. Perhaps I'll download the pictures and relink them here.

These are the pictures he posted on Facebook.

That is sweet, perhaps he could ship it Priority Mail, 2 day?



Actually if I was 20 years younger I would certainly entertain a purchase like this.



Thanks for the post.

Daniel Carr is a collector at heart and lover of all things native to Colorado and especially the Denver Mint . That's a lot of change to lay out and takes up a lot of space, but I could see him buying this if he had the funds available

Well there's an opportunity that doesn't come along every day....

It would be worth buying just to see the look on my wife's face when she sees it in the garage.

That would be pretty exciting. I'm sure it would get a new lease on life.

Great job by Ron and Joe!

Beautiful coin press......old time American engineering for sure.



Looks like a great restoration by Mr. Joe Rust.
