I pressed the Eisenhower silver dollars with an occasional stint on the quarter and half dollar presses. It was one blank at a time. These coins were not for public circulation but for sale.

I’ve seen several YouTube videos on the operations at the US Mint. It was nice to see individual pictures to study for as long as I needed. Thanks…
