hello .

Sorry that is not the most up to date information, will take care of that.

Current lowest numbers available are: 131, 132, 135, 138. These coins are not in hand though as we are awaiting them to come back from the mint as they had to be remade. I currently have a raffle open for the last 4 coins that we did have in hand if you'd like to check that out. I do accept reservations for these numbers though and you'd receive them once we get them back .

Mini-update:

As I was told the coins that were being remade would be ready a week ago I've been on NWTM's case about getting it done, to little avail.. A couple of days ago I received an email saying that their Trustee has suspended all operations while they are awaiting funding from their new owner.. This is alarming not only because we are waiting for the remakes but also because we wanted to go ahead with the 2nd design.

I'll let you all know what happens next week and if there are any updates, as they said they'd know more then. In the meanwhile we'll start looking for another mint to continue with in the future, there are limits to how much crap you can take . Great coins from NWTM but there has been issues.

Dam that's not cool.  You should tell them you just want your irregular coins back so at least you can salvage something.  I know different people that use them I hope no one was in the middle of a project with them.  Hope it all works out

Yeah, I'll see what Marty (Sales rep) has to say next week, if there's no more update I'll ask for the coins back, hopefully they have not melted them down already..

And yeah I know a lot of people both here and other places use them and I definitely hope they are not in the middle of it either..

My #23 coin, I will buy it no matter the condition 

[wheelz1200]

Yes I would like to swap out my #23 reservation for either one #120 if possible.  Thanks!

[Hox]

If wheels doesn't want it I will take the #23 if it gets remade or returned

[wheelz1200]

Any update on this? Did NWTM ever get back to you?

As of now I have sent multiple emails to NWTM demanding an aswer, to receive my coins and to get the dies from these designs. So far I am yet to receive a single reply...

After this experience I am not sure I could ever recommend anyone to use NWTM for their coin release, I am currently looking in to other options for future releases and I apologize for the people that are still waiting for their coins.

I'll continue trying to reach out and will let you all know once I have any updates.

@Hhampuz I believe Kialara used NWTM for the 'To the Moon' series coins and also ran into some delays. I don't think they are singling you out on purpose. Sorry to hear about the problems.

I'm pretty sure this was the case.
NWTM have also been used by Lealana, Cryptolator and countless others. I'm sure they'll pull through and the coins will come out looking as fine as ever.
It may be worth emailing another contact/representative there to get an update

Did a quick search and NWTM got an F from the BBB. Most of the complaints were for delays or nondelivery of large silver bullion purchases not coins. There are probably only a few manufacturers in the low volume collector coin industry to choose from. NWTM did do right by Kialara according to the Kialara blog. Bugging customer service every day, or asking for the dies might make the problem worse. You want the company to believe you will be a repeat customer.

I've not been bugging them at all, I sent one email which Marty replied to (After I was told we would receive the coins within 2 weeks of sending them in). He replied and told me that their Trustee had suspended all of their operations while they were awaiting funding from the new owner and that he'd have no more information for me until next week. This was now 3 weeks ago and I am yet to receive the email from him with the updated information.

I only recently sent the email asking for the dies, we had been talking for a long time about building up the brand with them but while they were very kind and fast in responding leading up to placing the order I have only been disappointed after we received the coins.

Note that no less than 38 out of the 150 coins we made had imperfections, that's a pretty big number and I would expect that when we are paying a small premium to use their mint they could at least do a decent quality control.
