After many distractions throwing me off track from finishing this coin, the revisions are finally back in production. I did make a small change to the front of the coin that was bugging me. The artwork as been forwarded to the mint and I will post pictures of the new samples when I have them. I have not yet heard back from the mint, but I assume the revised samples will take 4-5 weeks to come in. I apologize to everyone interested in my coin for the wait, but I felt the revision in design was necessary. ~Krystal

Just checking in again to see how these are coming. I don't want to miss out on them. I also want to keep this up in the queue so I don't miss it in the thread.

Any news?

Well you can add my name to the crowd that's waiting for these to go on sale. It's a beautiful coin and I sure hope I get a couple before they sell out. There aren't all that many coins that I feel I really have to have, but these coins are really something special! :)

The coins are still coming. The mint is trying a new process that does not discolor the metal under the transparent enamel. I did make one slight color adjustment to the artist edition, I love the others as they are. I promise to post when they will be up for pre-sale on coinsandpins.com.

 

Thank you all for your interest and continued patience through this process.

I know these took several more months than I planned, but I am happy I took the time to revise them and get the minting right. Thank you to coins and pins for your patience and working so closely with me and thank you to everyone on here for your patience. They are finally perfect.

Wow, another must-have-coin for me. :D:lol: I often only fancy one edition of a coin but here are all as nice. Hard to choose. Hope to trade for the trade only and I will most likely buy another one or two.

Very nice work on these. :P I really like them.

I had the priviledge of meeting dark_onyx this weekend and congratulate her for an awesome design. I got mine ordered now that I'm out of the deep woods and have internet access as well! ;)

Oh I love this coin! I have been watching it from the beginning but I am on a tight budget these days! If anyone wants to buy an extra and trade with me, that would be FANTASTIC!!!

Posted

Whew! Just made it! I am really looking forward to seeing these beauties "in the flesh." These have been a long time in coming, but better late than never, right?

 

I will also be hopeful and attempt to get an AE version!

 

Congratulations on a pretty coin.
