GregsonVaux Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Ahhhhh - you don't provide shipping to New Zealand. I'm sorry, I did not realize that. I will try to fix the shipping issue, but in the mean time, if you want to just send me a list of the coins you would like, I can send you a Paypal invoice. Quote Link to comment
GregsonVaux Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Am I missing something.... I thought (or at least assumed) that the set would be all 4, but only three are pictured.. Yes, there are four coins total, but the set includes just the three more normal finishes. Since the Vitreous Radiance coin is so unusual, I decided to sell it on its own. If you order a set and a Vitreous Radiance, you will have all four. Gregson Quote Link to comment

+GoldBugGirl Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I got this message: "We are unable to complete your order as we do not currently provide shipping to your chosen delivery address." Maybe I typed something in wrong? No shipping to Louisiana? Quote Link to comment

Actually, we are in the U.S., although some consider us a foreign country Are you sure that you are in the US, as I did get that same message and I definitely am not in the States! I think maybe there has been a subtle change in the geography of the US... Quote Link to comment

I think maybe there has been a subtle change in the geography of the US... I can understand the software settings not allowing shipping to New Zealand, but there shouldn't be any problems with US addresses. My advice is to try one more time and if that doesn't work, please just send me an e-mail listing the coins that you would like, along with your Paypal e-mail and I will send you a Paypal invoice. I'll do my best (within reason) to try to make everyone happy. As to why there is a problem with a US address, I hope it is not a software bug, but I can't fix that because I just use the software and did not write it. Quote Link to comment
+Fianccetto Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I ordered mine, thank you! They are very a reasonable price, and very good postage for Europe. I couldn't resist, even though I'm not supposed to be buying coins. (I had a little trouble until I asked for it in BPS with a UK address, but other than that, no problem.) Quote Link to comment
+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Gah!!!! I oh so wish I had time to order these!!!!!! Planning a stag & doe and a wedding and working 80 hrs a week isn't helping. Hopefully a set + is still avail after the weekend when life slows down a bit. Quote Link to comment

+anne.and.eli Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I received my cloisonne version last night, and it is really stunning. I appreciate all the thought you put into these coins lasting a long time. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment
GregsonVaux Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I appreciate all the thought you put into these coins lasting a long time. Thanks so much! It is not an exaggeration for me to say that it is a calling. I feel compelled to make things that last. People close to me have had to listen to me go on and on about how much I love granite, stainless steel, gold, ceramic and all other things that stay beautiful for a long time. Glass is one of those really special materials that is beautiful and can remain beautiful for thousands of years. I just found out today that the cloisonne enamel used on these coins is not just silicate glass but BOROSILICATE glass! That might not mean much to most of you, but it is the king of glass. It is the same material that high quality lab ware such as beakers and Erlenmeyer flasks are made of due to its chemical resistivity, resistance to thermal shock, resistance to impacts, and small thermal expansion.

+manu luq Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Just got the glass version, I like the texture and light reflections. Curiously, when viewed in profile, has some curvature, I think this is due to the manufacturing process, this gives some depth and makes it more beautiful.

If you mean that the whole coin is curved, you are right. That happens from the heat of the furnace. Quote Link to comment
GregsonVaux Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Would anyone be interested in a remint of this coin? My web store tells me where people linked from and someone arrived to my store today from this post, which tells me that there may be some interest. This is something that I have been thinking of doing for a while, so perhaps this is a tiny push to get me going. I don't particularly like the side with the star, so I was thinking of redesigning that side. If anyone thinks that side is great, then please tell me, if not, I may work on a better star pattern.
