This should be a sticky in every section so more people can see it.

52Raymo I don't think making this subject a sticky had anything to do with it.
I only expected between 20 and 30% of the tokens to go in pre order; and we are already at this level. One or two more will probably trickle in until the deadline June 15th. Once the tokens are minted and pictures of the final product go up then there will be another mini rush of maybe another 30 units. The rest will go slowly over time as new members join. Most of the forum members are not really interested in a token and that's fine I don't expect them to be.
I have considered doing this for several years but frankly up until now the membership base was just not large enough to support this. I could have gone the cheap route and had mass produced injection molded tokens made for a few dollars each but since this is primarily a coin forum it thought minting was the way to go. If my past experiences and my research is correct them they will all find homes eventually it just requires patience. I could have taken the gamble, advertised in numismatic publications and made public sale an option. then I would have had to produce significantly more to get the unit price down to something the general public will accept. its just not worth the risk. I don't mind if this is not a complete success but I can't afford to invest thousands in a gamble. the current project budget is within my comfort zone. even if all the first run sell there will still be a short fall but A second run will more than take care of this. I have no plans to vacate the forum any time soon so if it takes a couple of years to finish this project I'll still be here.

Pre orders ate now at 35
Once again folks if you must use PayPal's gift option do not include a note especially one that tells me where to send the token. I know you think you are doing me a favor and saving me a few dollars in fees. I thank you for the thoughts and good intentions but continued abuse of the PayPal gift option will result In PayPal removing that option from my account or worse and I rely on this to send funds to my family.
