At long last, we have some news!
We received the holograms from our manufacturer last week.
However, due to a fault with the hologram master, the holograms came out slightly damaged. We tried sifting through the holograms to hand select the best, but too few passed our quality checks...
We spoke to our manufacturer about this but they weren't helpful and we ended up having to pay them more to remake the holograms after they remake a new hologram master. This will set back the release of the assembled coins to July 2016.
We can confirm that the assembled coins will be limited to 100 coins only and will sell for $20 per coin.
Due to the unexpected extra costs involved as well as the manufacturing cost of our next product (it's epic), we need to raise some funds.
We initially set aside the first 10 prototype coins to stay within the company. However, now that things have changed, we have decided to use these coins to help our company grow.
The first 10 coins (out of the 100 prototype coins) have been assembled by us using the best holograms of our last batch. They aren't perfect, but they are far better than the others we had to dispose of.
There will only ever be 10 prototypes assembled by SHIBANU. These coins are not for sale, but are being offered out for every 10 coins purchased on a first come first served basis.
Once these coins go, they're gone for good.
The coins come assembled with a silver hologram and are closed in a Leuchtturm/Lighthouse everslab.
These coins will come fully funded too!
Pictures of said coins can be found below.
The current price for a single DIY coins is $18.
The price for 10 coins is $16/coin excluding shipping.
We'd like to apologise once again for the delay in releasing the assembled coins. We really wanted them to have been ready by now, but unforeseen circumstances have prevented this from happening. On the bright side, a member of our team has been working closely with bigtimespaghetti on a new product and it is awesome. We are just waiting to get the renders back from the manufacturer before we begin production. It's definitely something worth waiting for
Thanks to you all for your continued support!
