Here are the all-but-final designs! These are black & white drafts, and I'll render these in high-quality for submittal to nohope within the next few days. Changes to the winning designs: - "Established 2005" removed from Reverse due to redundancy with the Obverse. The eight stars were spaced out to fill in the bottom of the Reverse. - Changed "CC" to "CCF" on the Obverse per several recommendations. - Per many folks' recommendation, removed the word "FACTS" from the Obverse (the dictionary definition was redundant with "KNOWLEDGE"). - Changed the little dots to stars between HISTORY, KNOWLEDGE, and TRUST. I'm really happy with how these designs turned out. I hope the resulting token will be something special that you'll all be proud to own and share with others!  |

Now thats nice can't wait to get one of these coins..wouldn't it be nice silver. I would pay to pre-order one of those now. Any thing is appreciated but silver would be where its at. Just my humble opinion.

I think it looks terrific too! Quote:

Just my humble opinion. I fully agree! Everything looks amazing when done in silver :) I would very happily order this as a 1 ounce 999 round in silver (price within reason of course) to add to my collection. As much as I would love it in gold, that would be out of my price range :( Cheaper metals (such as copper) would be less interesting unless the price was very inexpensive. Cheers! |

At this stage silver is just not practical. I know you all want it but the dies alone are $1800 which means for a run of 100 a premium of $18 on top of the minting and blank costs the polls I ran earlier do not support enough interest at the price needed to make a run worth while. Not enough people are willing to part with $45 for a silver token. That's not including shipping and or PayPal costs. I can get copper At around $25 shipped assuming a run of 100. I don't mind if this project only breaks even but I can't justify taking a several hundred dollar hit.
