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!"
