+scavok Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think they turned out excellent. Nice job, Roger! ETA: I just noticed that the center design is submerged on the flip side, and that's a very nice touch. Thanks Yime! I agree, it wasn't in the original plan (not in the proof image, anyway). But I think it turned out nice, especially in the antique metals Quote Link to comment
+GPX Navigators Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think they came out excellent. Very nice. I'd get any and all. Well done in deed. Quote Link to comment
+Dolfy Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 They came out awesome!!!! Good job!! The turquoise is sweet and so is the antique silver!! Quote Link to comment

+southpawaz Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 These are very nice! My personal preference is for the ones without enamel, but I do like the turquoise as well, the design shows through a little better than the others, although this may be due to the photography. Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I love the coins. I will be on the look out for these ones. Quote Link to comment
+UncleJimbo Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Wohoo, samples are in! Here are some runs testing different metals and enamel colors. Let me know what you think!!! Gold with Red Enamel: Silver with Turquoise Enamel (not the best photo, sorry!): Nice! Personally, I like the Gold with Red Enamel, and the Silver with Turquoise Enamel (though I would have preferred something other than Turquoise with the Silver, I think). Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) Nice! Personally, I like the Gold with Red Enamel, and the Silver with Turquoise Enamel (though I would have preferred something other than Turquoise with the Silver, I think). I agree, I like the antique ones, the gold w/ red and the silver, but maybe just a blue rather than turquoise? Hmm... These first run coins weren't picked by me and don't mean they are the ones that will be made. They are just to give a good idea of what it looks like I think I'll suggest to C&P for 3 antiqued metals, the gold and red and then a color to be determined on silver...

+yanagi Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I really like the "Gold with Red Enamel" and would go for it. Quote Link to comment
+ThePetersTrio Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Wow - nice coin. I think a 2-tone - like gold on black nickel - would really look cool. But I do like the metal and the red one. I will watch for these. Quote Link to comment
+vasaturn Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Really nice coin! I love it! What about a darker green on the silver, maybe an emerald color. The contrast might make it more striking. Just a thought.... Quote Link to comment

+derschlings Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 oooo Laaa Laaaaah!!! these are fantabulous! okay, so I'm supposed to be cutting down on my spending on coins, but... if they're preorder... then I can get AG, AS, AC (PLEASE do an ant copper!), gold with translucent red, silver with translucent purple, and Black Nickel two-toned with GOLD...

+chrisgun Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!!!!!!! Totally beautiful :0) I need some!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Just a bump to show some actual quality photos of the coin Quote Link to comment
+KrazyTrollz Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Oh my goodness.... awesome designs!!!! Can't wait to see what you finally decide to pick! I think the copper might be nice w/out the peach on it or if they do put a color, something a little darker..... Congrats!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Are these going to be sold at C&P or somewhere else? And if at C&P will it be done under their pre-sell arrangement? Gotta admit I hope so. That way I'll have a better chance of getting a few. CF30 Quote Link to comment
nebukatneza Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 have to order some trading coins for them, cause i think that i'll have some problems to get one or two from germany... these are awesome and absolutely a must have for me!!! Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yes, they are being produced by coinsandpins.com and will be available through the presale process. That way nobody misses out because of limited quantity. I'll keep you all informed with a date as soon as one is set as well as final choices for colors/metals. Glad you all like it Quote Link to comment
+0R0B0RUS Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 OMG! These are beautiful! Nice job. Quote Link to comment
+E.caballus Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Looks great! The two sides are actually mirror images, so when placed on a coin back-to-back (if the mint can get them lined up properly and the differences in raised/recessed parts of the scrollwork), it would be as if the weaving goes right through the coin. Good point though, on any future ones, I'll keep that in mind. Was the mint able to line up the weaving as you intended? Quote Link to comment

+SecretChief Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi, I really like the all metal edition (without enamel) Quote Link to comment
+Vanelle Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 These are beautiful. The all metal editions are stunning. Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Was the mint able to line up the weaving as you intended? Sort of. There aren't gradients in height (smoothly moving from one level to another) like I saw in my head, but there are 4 levels of height and in the photos the weaves do line up to where on one side the weave is high and on the flip side it is low which gives it a nice effect Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Wow! My only question is who would want to release one of these?? Especially if it means drilling a hole in it?!?!? I just love the all-metal version! Quote Link to comment

+UOTrackers Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 A couple of years ago when the movie (LOTR) was being filmed my closest friends and I made a pact. We'd always be together for the opening show, the midnight one, in Jacksonville FL. No matter where we lived at that time we would get back together in Jax for the show. We did this for each show! We didn't always get to sit together, the theater had something against us reserving a whole row, go figure. It started with the 5 of us, then we all brought extra friends to share in the camaraderie! Now with the Hobbit coming out in 2010 the pact is back on! I picked up 5 coins to give to each of them, my own fellowship so to speak! Thank you for such a beautiful coin! Also for the opportunity to finish my Christmas shopping for this year!

+jmw61 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Ditto on the like it. Silver/Copper/Gold/Bronze in a matte or satin finish would look great. Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Just a notice/bump that the presales end on the 16th (not sure what time). That means only just over a day left! I can't wait to get a handful myself Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hello all. I just got an update from c&p. Waaay more sold than I had ever hoped so its doubtless this coin will have its own icon (for those of you that are interested ). Also, I would like some suggestions for LE versions. I will be doing antique copper for sure, but maybe 2 or 3 other finishes as well. Any Ideas? Quote Link to comment
+ThePetersTrio Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 How about an amethyst purple with polished silver? There simply aren't enough purple coins out there IMHO... Quote Link to comment
+derschlings Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 after seeing one of Thor's Hammers in Black Nickel highlighted with shiny gold, I'd have to recommend that 2tone combo for this one. Can't wait for these to arrive! Quote Link to comment
