Is there still a set available?
If someone backs out I might have a set available. Otherwise I might have a few extras, just not an entier set. Email me and I'll add you to a list.

Are they going to be labelled? I'd like to make sure I know the difference between antique silver/antique nickel, antique gold/new antique gold, etc.
I made the suggestion to edge engrave the plating name on them, to avoid confusion. I was led to believe that happened
TMA
Suggestion was taken. Becasue it was engraved, they limited me to 10 characters. I shortened the names but I am sure you will figure them all out. And trust me, it will help.

How is this possible? I thought area 1 and 3 on the front all had to be the same color?
They were supposed to be the same color based on the black & white guide we were given. I already okayed mine. So no changing it now.
I have been disappointed this year on how the whole design, color chart numbers, changing the numbering, new options, short order time and approval time has all gone. I hope the coins turn out better than the process to order them has.
See as order was due today, how many coin versions did we end up with?

I just got some samples back today using transparent #15 (yellow) and was a little disappointed. It is a very 'muddy' translucent! You can barely see the raised layers, let alone the gritty recessed metal!
I wish this set had been in my hands a month ago!!
Can anyone with more experience suggest an alternative? Looking at the picture of the colour chart provided by the mint #24 doesn't look much better. And it is really the wrong colour yellow anyway. Can the mints make a translucent *more* translucent?
Contact me to thru my website to discuss.

How is this possible? I thought area 1 and 3 on the front all had to be the same color?
The circles oon the back int he center were also not called out as a different area to color?
Can these kind of changes be made? I would like to change mine if they are.
Please get back to me quickly.

I went to look for the reservation for this and I guess it's over???
Was hoping I could have waited until I got back home to order some but I guess I missed the boat! If anyone got the set and doesn't need them all, I would be interested in trading for some (at least a nickel/silver and gold/bronze).
Sorry order did go in to the mint. I am trying to make an adjustment on Sunday night and if so, what finishes and quantities were you looking for?

I have heard from Portland, Ore; Charlotte, NC and somewhere in Florida, Orlando?
Is anyone else considering a bid?
Nothing international?

1 is blue
2 is pink
3 is white
4 is light yellow
5 is ???
6 is ???
7 is orange
8 is light purplish/pink
If there is 10 spaces to color how do we tell you what number in the compass points are:
light blue
medium blue
bark blue
green
There is only 5 and 6 but you have 4 different colors. Hope I explained this well.
-
I hope I solved mine by just making 2 & 7 the same color along with 4 & 8 around the entire circle.
Be careful, 2 & 7 or next to each other in the new diagram.
-
I thought it was B but Marks artwork shows that 5&6 can be different on each point.
Not to confuse things more but if you go to the new artwork on the google site 7 and 8 are mixed up compared to how they were. 2 and 7 were in the same place and now it is 2 and 8.
HELP!
I have submitted my colors and will wait to approve mint ready artwork. That will be easier then trying to understand all these changes that we are suppose to follow in less then 2 days.
-
Yeah you can do that, BUT only can use 5 total colors max on this coin side. This artwork is using 8, I believe.
Now I am confused, you can only use 5 but the sample artwork shows 8. Scratching my head.
You can have the areas 5/6 alternate like the artwork but the line drawing doesn't show that. Can I get an email from mark or emma on what areas we can actually color.
Thanks
-
Also is the area numbered 2 basically the areas numbered 6 & 8 combined? (and area 4 - 5 & 7 combined?)
If so I don't need to list colors for areas 5,6,7 & 8? 'Cause that's covered by the colors chosen for areas 2 & 4??
Think I can get this one.
1 is blue
2 is pink
3 is white
4 is light yellow
5 is ???
6 is ???
7 is orange
8 is light purplish/pink
Ok now I have to ask. In the numbered artwork there is only one area labeled 5 and 6 so you should only be able to have 2 colors there but in the colored artwork that was posted there is 2 different colors for each (makes 4 total).
Someone else can try.
-
Does anybody have access to the spreadsheet? I'd like to check the colors chosen so far but can't get in there...
Nope.
-
WOW!
Love the look and hope the stainglass look can be achived as shown in the artwork.

Love the coin!!
I do have a question, why do some people add the box around teh tracking number? Think it would have been ok without and just don't see the point.

Responded to email but thought I woud here also.
Trying to make a coin in 14 different platings is not an easy task. To sell some as trackable and some as non-trackable makes it 28 different versions.
This started off as a design tool for most yes. What happend is that the mint pushed back and needed so many in each plating. In order to accomplish this I offered a STEEP discount on the set and almost (all but 2 right now) designers ordered the set, espcially at the discount I am giving.
I am still going back and forth with the mint to firm up all the details, if anything changes I'll let you know.
Guess this is a case of not being able to please everyone. As it stands I have orders for 18 set.
-
Are those of us from last year getting preference to our colors? I want to use the same colors again and the same plating.
Apparantly not. I had to change mine last night.
I think it's first come, first serve... but that's a GUESS.
Can someone give me access to the site then please? I did email Emma on Friday.
-
Ok, I got it figured out. Trackable set available at Translucent Color Wheel.
There will still be a non-trackable coin but right now I am taking reservations for the trackable version.
Thanks
