RE: How Coin Dies are Created using a Pantograph.

in #steemsilvergold7 years ago (edited)

I have always wondered. I have a large copy router in storage and that is called a pantograph but it only does 1:1 scale, so not technically a pantograph at all. I haven't got the 3 phase to run it yet as it is big and will make Four reproductions at a time. I prefer the old machines they were made really well and do generally give better results. I have been fascinated by the art work of coins , it is seriously impressive.
Thanks

That's pretty cool you have something similar for your woodworking. I do agree that there something just more real and true about some of these older machines and technology.

I have a bit of a passion for old machines and tools. Strong, easy to repair and accurate. I would love to see some more about the original sculpting of the coin if you could point me in the right direction please?
