I'm a big fan of HK-154 and HK-155 So-Called Dollars struck at the United States Mint Exhibit. MS pieces look very flashy in hand. Does anyone know what kind of coin press was used to strike these at the expo?

As for other presses at the expo, I think the US Mint First Coining Press was also there and operated by George Bache Soley. Any other presses striking pieces on location?
