If all the copper find homes then there will be a silver issues but to date less than a third of the original run have found new homes. So it could be several years before silver appears..

I for one would have LOVED to have gotten a copper piece, But... The price is way to high for me. I Do understand that you have to cover the price of the process. I Just wish I could afford it.

Dar, why not add the CCF token to your, "What Our Members Collect" list? You can find the list on the left under, "Stuff For Members." When 'Secret Santa 2014" starts, sign up! You never know what could happen.

I am seriously considering one, but it would be better suited if the logo on the front was two crickets, as those are what I think of whenever I write a post... two crickets breaking the painful silence. On a serious note, I did just get confirmation from the Pope, that a miracle occurred - I got more than a single, lone response in one of my recently-created posts, pushing me over the 50 total posts mark....so I think this means I can email you directly to explore the possibility of getting one of these coins. I want one not so much for the copper coin, but for the possibility of getting a silver coin down the road. I also think it is criminal that this company charges so much for hammering out these coins....but I imagine die preparation (if that is how they did it) and labor is the major cost center here, and not the $3.21 per pound of copper.
One thought - I would guess that the next round would be considerably cheaper for sheer production, in that the same master could be use to pound out silver coins, and no new master would need be created?

the dies are the single most expensive part of the process once they are covered making new tokens is a relatively cheap affair..

For those who have problems with PayPal I can Take credit cards but it will be 2.75% more. I will still need to invoice payment so I can keep track of the funds and separate them from my business. I anticipate being back in the USA last few days of August. Shipping abroad is not a problem but Insurance is prohibitively expensive on international mail. I can send proof of mailing but once it leaves the USA I cannot track.
