+tiggersabout Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 The Black Nickel version have just sold out after a little under 24 hrs Quote Link to comment
+studlyone Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Received mine today - all three finishes and must say that they are great. Thanks for a great coin and judging by the toher comments its received on the EACachers forum its certainly gone down and treat. Prepare for an influx of US buyers I guess as its sale time in the UK for US shoppers because of the abysmal exchange rate at the moment. Thanks again for some great coins. Ian Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think our clients are still snug in bed in the UK (4:35am) and we just noticed that the sold out LE version of this coin is not being described exactly as we created it. Not that we're experts or anything... BUT... The version referred to as 'black nickel' is actually satin nickel with black soft enamel paint on the 3D side (and imitation hard enamel on the 2D side). Also, a very important feature of this coin, that connoisseurs should know, is that the crowns on the 2D side are polished gold so that they'll stand out nicely on the antique silver and satin nickel versions. They weren't made two tone on the antique bronze because the effect was just fine on this version after polishing. No worries though folks, black nickel or satin nickel with black enamel is still a darned nice lookin' coin and congrats on the quick sell out of the LE version! Quote Link to comment

Thanks for bringing that to our attention Helen If anyone who has brought one has a problem with this please get in touch. Everyone who we have shown a set to has been well impressed with all the finishes. Chris and Helen have done fantastic work with our original design. We had not been in bed that long. Up till 1am packing orders, we can't start the packing process until Jorja (3) has gone to bed, as she tries to be helpful.. Quote Link to comment
