A few more pictures have been added to OP. Laser engraving the serials was a huge mistake in my opinion, serials look burnt and brown... Definitely going to change the serializing procedure next batch.
A quick update: the coins will be with me in the next few days, holograms will come the following week. Will update the thread with better photos once they arrive.

Coins are with me now. I will shoot some pictures and update OP with them. Holograms will be here before March. I expect the coins to ship out in the beginning of March. I will also post another thread for the token sales.
Funding has been changed: only the full gold plated ones will be prefunded, the others will be preassembled.

oh so price per set goes down by 0.2 ? Sounds interesting so are they in boxes or acrylic slabs ? Edit : I see they will originally come in boxes but slabs can be chosen What do you mean by the pouch ? Also, can you tell which numbers have mark on them? |

Can we request the full gold to be non-funded?? I would also prefer a full set of non funded coins. |

As per request none of the coins will be funded.
Upon further inspection I noticed some gold highlighting from the coins have come off, once again not sure if it was the manufacturers or the customs fault. I have contacted the manufacturer regarding the matter, they told me that the coins might have gotten to much direct light outside of the capsule.
I'm sure I'll never use this manufacturer ever again. A huge disaster.

Direct sunlight will ruin the gold-plating on a coin? Didn't know that. (You learn something new everyday, right?) Really, how long could the coins have been exposed to direct sunlight in the short time between minting and packaging? It's very hard to believe that a mint employee would lug the box of coins outside, spread them out in a single layer on the back steps, and leave them to bake in the sunlight all afternoon. I'm inclined to think the fault is not sunlight, but poor quality control inside the mint. (But I could be wrong. Often am.) Hopefully, the mint will fix everything soon. Regards, Me |

Noticed another major flaw:
The back and front of the coin aren't aligned properly. The coin looks a bit off in the acrylic frame...
I'll upload some pictures tomorrow and I'll let you judge yourself.
But all in all the coins look amazing in person, you get to see the coin very differently at every angle. I'll try my best time to capture the best possible photo showing it's beauty.
I'm very sorry for this mess. The manufacturer is trying to push all the responsibilities to import customs check.

I agree with BPC and think that sucks they are pushing responsibility over to the import customs check.  |

OP has been updated with some quick pictures of the DIY token and the coin. I didn't have much time to photograph them, so I apologize for the ultra low quality photos. I didn't take the silver ones out of the capsule due to the current discussion between me and manufacturer, I don't want them to blame me for not handling the coins properly and therefore causing imperfections on the coin.
I'm still waiting for the holograms to get manufacturered, they told me that they will be with me before March.

I am currently getting the keys printed and are figuring out a way to have both durable and detailed print quality. But I think I will use a standard inkjet printing along with a coating spray to fix the ink to the paper. |
