avroair Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Arrrr! In the rich traditions that do bind the Pirates of Harriman coins the 5th one be upon us! Pirates of Harriman 5: Call of the Kraken People are welcome to attend. The coins will be available at the event. Concept Art: The gargantuan beastie unfurls it's tentacles on the coin, ready to pull it back down to the depths from whence it came. Now we have to make it into a coin. Did we kill it? No, we just made it angry! Artwork by Chris Mackey: Edited May 23, 2011 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Behold the Kraken Types: Gold on antique gold ~ purple gem Gold on antique silver ~ red gem Silver on antique gold ~ blue gem (www.geoswag.com version I think) Silver on shiny silver ~ green gem I wanted to do the attendee version with a black pearl, but the mint was taking too long trying to find a source. Oh well, always next year... 100 of each will be available Quote Link to comment

I really wasn't sure after the last email, but I'm very happy to see my fears to put to rest Yeah, now if we could only find a black pearl or a bigger gems. Although I think the smaller gem works just fine since it doesn't dominate the coin. Quote Link to comment

+GrayK Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I couldn't make the event so I bought one of these coins from Avroair. I paid on 10/1 and he shipped on 10/2. I got the coin in the mail on 10/4. Thank you for the fast shipping! The coin looks amazing, there is a lot of detail. Kudos to the artist and minter. The pictures don't do it justice. Thanks again.
