+LionsLair Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 SNIP>>> The preliminary artwork .... will be slightly altered when the coin is minted. I'm assuming the changes will be in the face which looks 3D and will be 2D when minted? Quote Link to comment

+ThePetersTrio Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Isn't there a law against having an event at a brewery on a work night? I just realized the event is on a Wednesday. Guess they make vacation days for a reason... The coins look great! Quote Link to comment
