7/10/2025 - Arrived at 9 AM on Thursday and they were open.
This machine's manufacturer purposely make the designs a little short so the pressed pennies look like they are short. Other than that, the machine was working. If it made a longer elongated, I would have pressed a lot more, but I only made 2 sets. RandyK
