    Goods for barter thread.
    Just a reminder, it is ok to ask a cash price but you MUST include a price in a precious metal, e.g. swap for 4 ounces of silver or $250.

    Sell your car and buy BULLION

    First time offered on Silver Stackers.

    Have you ever dreamed about making your own traditional coins? Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly 100 year old screw press. It still works well, it would need to be cleaned up and you would need to get some dies made, but if you are looking for a start, this is what you need. This press is very heavy so you will need 2 or 3 people to pick it up. It is located an hour south of Sydney. Will swap for 1/10th oz gold or silver or cash. It is way to heavy for me to ship. A guestimate of weight is 70 or 80kg.

    Below are photos of the press and also a couple of coins featuring a screw press. More info on these presses here: https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/dictionarydetail/516712 & https://www.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/collection/thomas-simon-collection/screw-press/
