+hofy67 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 My Forge Fire coin came today. Stunning! However, it seems a bit warped. I dont know if this happened in the mail or manufacturing. Are any others like this? It really doesnt bother me so I am keeping it. Quote
+JackHoe Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 The two I ordered came in today, and as expected they look great. Quote
GregsonVaux Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) My Forge Fire coin came today. Stunning! However, it seems a bit warped. I dont know if this happened in the mail or manufacturing. Are any others like this? It really doesnt bother me so I am keeping it. The warping occurs during the minting process. The rune side is finished with glass and when it is heated to 800 degrees C in the furnace, it bends a bit. The "Nahhash" and "Secrets of the Night" versions do not have glass on them and thus don't have the slight bend. There will probably be more mintings and I can imaging that there will be new versions that use traditional epoxy enamel. The advantage of glass is that it is extremely hard, scratch resistant, and resists chemical attacks so it will last nearly forever. The advantage of epoxy enamel is that it can be buffed (stoned) to an extremely level and flat finish, the colors are sometimes brighter, and the coin does not warp in a furnace. Since they each have their advantages and drawbacks, I try to make versions with each type of enamel, but on the whole, I prefer glass. Edited November 11, 2011 by GregsonVaux Quote
GregsonVaux Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 The two I ordered came in today, and as expected they look great. As always, thank for the support! I'm really happy with the way these turned out. Quote
+manu luq Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Just for the catalogue of my collection, I'd like know the minting numbers if it's possible please. Quote
GregsonVaux Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 Just for the catalogue of my collection, I'd like know the minting numbers if it's possible please. 50 of each edition were made for a total of 200 coins, but these coins have been popular enough that I will likely be minting more in the near future. Right now, none of the editions have been limited in number, but that could change. The only limit so far is that "Secrets of the Night" is only available as part of a set. Quote
+Mar-elendili Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 A little Mithril Sheen treasure came in today. wow, you really did a gret job designing this coin! And thank you so much for picking one of my color schemes and sending it to me! Quote
