+Team JSAM Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 We are working on a personal coin and just wondering what sizes of coins do people most like? Personally we like the 2" but what do you like...........? 1 9/16 or 1 3/4 or 2 inch Quote Link to comment
+The Fraher Family Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I thought size didn't matter... Quote Link to comment

+Rick618 Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 When it comes to coins I like 'em big and thick! Think Hardee's thick burger and not where else that could lead. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 42mm, It's not just the size, it's the answer. Quote Link to comment
57chevy Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Both the large and small have advantages, The CavScout Raven is small but just draws your eye and fingers toward it. Anyone that has seen in person the New Mexico or the Texas Autumn coin has to admit that they command attention. Personally I like the larger coins, but if its a good design it doesn't matter what size it is. =o) Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 To actually answer the question. It's your coin, make it your's and go with the size that works for you. Quote Link to comment
+Colorado Cacher Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 LMAO I was waiting for that one. Talk about a dangerous thread, this is it. Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Very dangerous thread, but I'll dive in... IMHO, some designs look better large (1 3/4") and some are fine small (1 1/2"). I think that 2" might be too large for some coin holders. 2" is pretty big and it's not really necessary to spend that kind of money to make a nice coin. The prices for the manufacturing are going up, so bigger could mean harder to sell because you'll have to price them accordingly to recoup your costs. Also, they will cost more to mail due to their weight, so you'll have to charge higher shipping costs. Remember, it's not the size that counts Quote Link to comment

+GrnXnham Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I like the 2" coins best! Quote Link to comment
+HerrK & Friends Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I like the 1,5" or 1,7" size! Quote Link to comment
+Rattlingcrew Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I like the 2" coins, just a preference really. The New Mexico coin is one of my favorites, very nicely done. Thanks for this thread as I was curious myself. Glen Quote Link to comment
+ChileHead Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 42mm, It's not just the size, it's the answer. Yes, it's the answer to life, universe and everything, but what was the question? Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Bigger but not more expensive. And I like that, whatever it is, plastic coating. Like the Oklahoma coins. Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Personally I like the 1.5 inch. But, as RK said, if it's a personal coin do what you like. I do have to say that the design/concept is MUCH more important than the size of the coin. Quote Link to comment
