+2LittleCache Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I was wanting to get some feedback before I send this off for final minting. This coin will be trackable but will not have a custom icon. Thank you for your comments. Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Interesting coin! I have a couple of questions: 1) Is this the actual mint art? The lizard looks like a piece of raster art, and it will not come out looking like that, with all its fine shading, in 2D. Do you have an example of the actual vector art from the mint? Are those colors opaque enamel? If so, what will the lizard actually look like (or will it just be a silhouette of a lizard)? 2) On your black nickel coin, will the text be filled with black enamel? That could be handsome, but pretty hard to read. You might want to consider using white, or off-white, to fill in the text on the BN version so that it's more legible. I hope this helps!

YemonYime Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 One "Z" in Lizard King...unless you've got a special reason for the extra. Quote Link to comment

Thanks alot.. This is not the actual mint art. This is just an example im still waiting for the actual vector art from the mint. I am just getting anxious and wanted to get some opinoins, thank you.

+Eartha Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 That font makes it look like it says Jim Morrison, An American Poel. Quote Link to comment

I am just getting anxious and wanted to get some opinoins, thank you. No sweat. YemonYime's got a good point about the spelling, and Eartha's right, too -- the crossbar on the "t" of that font is going to disappear at 1.5". I'd post the mint art when it comes; that's going to give us a truer sense of how it'll work out. Have you given any thought to putting "Lizard" and "King", as well as "I can do anything" on arcs so that they follow the outline of the coin? Quote Link to comment
+Wandering Vikings Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just a word to the wise- the estate of Jim Morrison frequently initiates lawsuits against those who attempt to use his name, likeness or works for profit without permission. You need to make sure you have all of the permissions needed before investing in this coin. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment
