I'm not to sure what I think of these proof and/or metal selections. I haven't given the go ahead and am requesting feedback from the rest of you. Keep in mind the actual numbering wil be a PCXXXX tracking number.

Wow,

I like them. I think the gold is especially nice looking (and I don't usually care for gold coins). Glad we've got a trade arrainged.

TSD, The Silver and Black look too (very) similar to the V2 non trackables do you have the ability to change the metals finishes perhaps something that will set them apart a bit more ?? , Love the Gold though,,

Lovely coins! Were the non trackable version smooth like these or textured? Textured might be nice but smooth is also. I particularly like the gold one and the black and silver ones are also very nice.

I really like them. I have a silver V2, but still look forward to adding this one to my collection!

November 17, 2006

I ordered the gold and silver (already have the black nickel in the non-trackable), and I think they're both gorgeous! No changes necessary!

Nice, Very Nice. I'll glad I have a trade in for these.

November 17, 2006

I am most unhappy with the black. I wanted a flat black that would be more like a live sand dollar. It was supposted to be enough different from the V2. I will see about getting it changed.

The silver is close to the V2 but is not antiqued so I figure it is different enough plus the misty silver has been the most requested of the 3.

All the coins have had a smooth finish. I was told they could not do a sand blast finish and was hoping the misty finish would be a little less smooth.

I like them too and I agree that the gold is the most striking. I see what you mean about the black nickel though... Very nice work!

3k · November 17, 2006

Very pretty, but definitely agree the black is too shiny to see well. I think the silver looks best (and most like an actual sand dollar), but like the gold also. Is it possible to sand-blast only one side? I think the key is the matt finish you were envisioning. Even so, I would happily trade for any one of these

November 17, 2006

Do they do an antique black nickel?

That gold is awesome.

November 17, 2006

Like all of them, especially the gold.

November 17, 2006

I really like the silver & gold!

November 17, 2006

I prefer the silver and gold coins. When will they go on sale and how much will they be?

2.6k · November 17, 2006

I don't like the black or the silver. The gold is very pretty. Too bad they couldn't add specks to look like a real sand dollar.

5.7k · November 17, 2006

Very nice. I like them all. Can't wait for ours to arrive.

1.1k · November 17, 2006

Very nice, I like them all, the black is my favorite.

The only thing I would change is ask that the tracking number and the trackable at gc.com at the bottom be white filled like the rest of the text.

I totally agree with the above! Matte black or shiny black, it looks the best!

November 17, 2006

My thoughts exactly Nero. I have come across many coins where the tracking number or any of the text is hard to read simply because the maker didn't make the text contrast the background color. Changing it to white would be good. BTW I like the coins in this order: SGB

PS maybe adding a small amount or texturing kinda like a sand-like feel would make it seem a little more "real" (I don't know :sad: )

November 17, 2006

They can't sand blast finish the coin because it has no edge. This is what I've was told.

They can only color in the number in black which the coin is. This is what I've been told.

I really want the black one so I am kind of stuck. The mint actually calls it a dyed black finish so it should not be a shiny.

Also I've asked for the lettering on the Gold and Silver to be in black and also color in the trackable at part.

One of my favorite coins in my collection. :wub: It's to bad that you can't do them in a satin finish, giving them less of a shine. :anicute:

November 18, 2006

Great job on the coins I like em

November 18, 2006

I have to admit that i didn't know what a sand dollar was. after a quick look on google though everything is clear!! :anicute: :laughing:

Was there an approximate invoice date on these? I would like to know when these will be available because I will be gone for several days and want to be sure I don't miss them.

I should have the coins Monday and start invoicing on Tuesday. I need to take care of all trades first as I have already recieved their coins so in essence these have already paid.

That being said anyone wanting me to invoice them early, I can do that now as I have a confirmed delivery date.

The silver was the closest I could come to off white without painting the whole thing. There are still some left for sale and I am always open to trades. Let me know what you have.

<_< That reminds me I need to put your casino coin in the post to you! i will get it sendt off on tuesday. i have managed to delete your first email. did you have a preference over the metal (gold, silver or copper)?

thanks

December 9, 2006

I like the coins just the way they are ...even the black. We have lots of Sand Dollars on the beaches up island here mostly in Parksville & Qualicum so I am quite familiar with them .The only way I see to get the coin more textured would be to change the die & have a bunch more little bumps on them ,but that would require a new die change

December 9, 2006

Invoice me please.

Invoice received and paid

Looks like a great coin. Hope to maybe get one.
