+pfalstad Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 A state coin?? How quaint. Why don't you make a jelly donut coin or a J. Edgar Hoover coin? On second thought.. Put me down for two. Quote

This is a state coin produced by me as there were no official MASS organization to sponsor a coin. You done good. I have a design question about the samples. Is that a mix of imitation hard enamel and soft enamel. It looks really interesting, and I was curious about how it was achieved. --Marky Quote

+doublestuff Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 Hi all! There will be a website for this coin. There are no preorders and I am not taking reservations. I will post the link to the website prior to the sale. Quote
+doublestuff Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 Depending on the price I'd be in for a couple of each metal too. Our personal coins should be in by then too so are you taking trades? Hi Lady Bee! I am not sure if I will be doing any trades at this time Since this is a state coin, My goal would be to have them all sold or released in to caches. If sales slow down or there are extras I may considering it as I was not able to get a club to sponsor for the coin and am doing it all myself. Quote
