[ANN] BeYourOwnBank Coldstorage DIY Silver Coins "Bankers Beware"

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

You had an error rate of 25% while Kialara reported 22% of the Moon coins had errors and had to be done over by the same mint. Sorry for your problems making collector coins seems to be fraught with stress. Appreciate your efforts to help the community and hope you are making enough from the venture to make it all worthwhile. Thanks again!

I'm very new to coinmaking so I'm not sure if that is an acceptable rate but to me it is way too high haha.. It's all good though, currently in talks with several other mints and will shortly start production of the 2nd design. Trying not to get it out before all the previous customers have received their coins though..

Thanks for the kind words!

That is very high.  You werent asking for proof coins and at a high volume, there should be no more than a couple unacceptable coins from a mint like that.  Sorry you had to go through this trouble but i guess better to find out mow than later. Maybe a thread where some makers here that have publicly stated their mint can state their experience to either feed others info or discourage people from using a mint like this.

All of the Dignitas coins and bars were done by NWT and with the exception of a few spot of hand painted gold, were near flawless.  I'm sorry to hear you had problems.   Please let me know if they correctly rectify the situation otherwise I will have to find a new mint for future designs.

With all the mints out there i wouldnt risk it.  Last 2 we know if (kialara and hhampuz) both runs were less than satisfactory on many coins.  No response from customer service after you give them business and they have your coins that were bad is completely unacceptable and would not recommend anyone move forward with them in the future

Probably taking this way off topic, but how many mints are there that do this? If you can pick from 100 different ones then you as a customer have a bit more leverage then if there are only 5.

Yeah I was in contact with probably half of the mints on that list before deciding on NWTM, almost half of those mints did not accept new projects though, or could not offer low mintage custom runs.. So there's not that many it seems.

Gentle bump...any update?

I'm guessing no news is....no news.


Thanks,

Sorry for the lack of updates.. here's the latest though:

NWTM has officially gone bankrupt, the entire workforce was let go except for one or two guys. One of the guy that was let go (Marty) was the guy I've been emailing without getting any replies.

I got some emails for the owner and Trustee yesterday and have sent out emails to them today, looking for any update. It is looking bad right now though. Unless this gets resolved within the next couple of weeks I'll have to start issuing refunds to those who paid up-front. Besides that there's not much I can do, in the end I'll be the loser in this one and there'll be some missing numbers from the first release.

Appreciate the transparency Hhampuz and it's very sad to hear they folded.  I wouldn't expect much to come out of it but I'm glad to see you're putting forward the effort for your customers.

I'm wondering when/if they'll actually put a notice onto their sales sites or if they're still accepting orders that could have future issues.

That sucks bad for you hhamp, nothing you can do i guess.  Especially with the nbers missing, i got one and glad i did these are beautiful coins.  Any ideas on new mints or you arent that far yet?  Probably going to do a silver project this year so im gonna be poking around for some mints will let you know what i find

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

@Hhampuz so sorry to hear of the NWTM bankruptcy hope it has minimal affect for you. Kialara also used NWTM but I think he got the Moon series finished before the troubles.

on a lighter note, numbers 51 & 52 both received "green jungle" anacs grades of ms69!

Edit but I'm sure I'll have to send them back unless they actually listened to me bitch about the holograms.

Yeah, right now I wouldn't put it past them to still accept orders without the intentions of fulfilling them.. Which is a shame.

Thanks wheelz, it is what it is I guess.. Appreciate you letting me know if you find anything good though, I would of liked to already have the 2nd design in hand by now but yeah.

@Hhampuz so sorry to hear of the NWTM bankruptcy hope it has minimal affect for you. Kialara also used NWTM but I think he got the Moon series finished before the troubles.

Yeah it's a real shame.. I did ask around and people only had good things to say about NWTM until after I made the coins where I learned they've had issues for a while..

Yeah thanks Dave, found that site a few days ago, to bad I didn't find it 3-4 months ago .

Thanks owlcatz, Can't be too unhappy with MS69 I guess

And yeah, the jungle green crap holo placement is another issue that needs to be taken care of haha..

[Hhampuz]

After sending multiple emails to people that should still take care of NWTM business I got an email from someone working at "Medallic Art Company", which is a private mint that were bought by NWTM in 2009.

The email asked me for pictures of this coin and an order number so that she could try and find them (whatever that means). So I'm hopeful about this getting resolved soon. If they were never re-minted and still have imperfections, I'll issue discounts for the people that purchased those specific numbers.

Thank you all for the patience you have shown!

"green jungle" anacs

Please oh please let this catch on as community nomenclature.

Hahaha.. After thinking more, I kind of like "jungle slabs" as the final name, but whatever works!
