GregsonVaux Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If this coin is ever made, I will be buying one. Quote Link to comment
+Hot Pepper Crew Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wow, if this ever happens I want one as well! Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I wish I had better news for everyone. My normal mint can't do this kind of coin and the one I had been in contact with has stopped responding to emails. I'm glad I didn't sink any money into it. I have put this on the back burner for awhile, but would really like to get it done. I just need to find a mint capable of doing the different components necessary. I will post something in this thread if the status changes. Quote Link to comment

Maybe we can pool some ideas here on how to make it happen? What if your amber-suspension company built the amber insets and they were glued into the coin at a regular coin producer? It might cost a bit more, but this is a great idea and should do very well even if slightly more than initially speculated. Maybe even get the base and inset shipped to you and produce it locally? There are a bunch of marine builders who specialize in beautiful and durable marine epoxies that are often available in colored variants. Anybody here have experience with these materials? Maybe you could colaborate? Quote Link to comment
