Abstract: A coin press (10) includes a die (20) and an anvil (22) that abut and counter-rotate to nip and press a coin. The coin press (10) has a timing device (80) with a coin slot (84) and a gate (92) rotatable about a gate axis parallel to the width of the coin slot (84). The gate (92) rotates between a closed position to obstruct the coin slot (84) and an open position that allows the coin to pass gravitationally by the gate (92). A timing ring (130) rotates with one of the die (20) and the anvil (22) and has at least one lobe (132) that activates a trip lever (122) to rotate the gate (92) and gravitationally drop the coin between the anvil (22) and an image on the die (20). The die (20) and the anvil (22) are removably and replaceably mounted by sliding into a slot (46) and another slot (48) on a frame (40). First and second adjusters (62, 64) allow adjustment of pressure between the die (20) and the anvil (22).
