It appears that the "I" is missing from both "VERIFY" and "FUNDING" on the hologram. I went back and looked at some of my recent purchases and they are missing on those coin holograms as well. @FiniteByDesign - can you confirm if this is intentional or if it is an error?

mo its better to ask the maker your question directly instead of sharing it with everyone. Would you want someone else to call out your mistakes on a loudspeaker? A true friend would want to help privately. This could be FDs intended design. What is your goal?

This is a public release of a product being sold, why would he ask that privately?

It looks to me like it was a typo and should be called out.   It's not like there is a lack of space requiring him to shorten it to "VERFY" (and if true, that is a very odd way to shorten the word VERIFY). 

In reality this appears to the same kind of typo that is common with AI slop designs.  You can even see the gap where the "I"
 should be but it was left out.  Also, for the side with the design, the laser appears to be set too powerful and the coin appears to be burned.  Just my $0.02.  Another shit release from an endless stream of shit releases from infinite by design.

hybrid your comment is disrespectful and meant to undermine a creator. It doesnt work. FD will keep making great products. I believe this was a deliberate FD design. Use your imagination. If its an error be thankful you have a rare coin. FD your coins are amazing. How many hacks have chased off creators? If this continues soon there will be nothing to buy on the collectible board. I hope no one who commented negatively ever makes a mistake. I will take two FD.

We are all entitled to our opinions whether we agree or disagree.  However, the market will have the ultimate say and it seems so far the market supports F*D.  But, your statement "I believe this was a deliberate FD design" is giving off gaslighting in the fact that F*D already stated this was a manufacturer issue and mentioned nothing about it being deliberate.  He already mentioned this will be corrected going forward.  As far as this error making the coin rare, no it doesn't work like that, esp since all coins in that series would have the same errored hologram.  Now if only a few coins in that series had the errored hologram and the rest had the non-errored hologram, then rarity could be discussed as it pertains to the errored hologram.

If FD pointed out the error thats good. When you buy this coin youre getting an error coin that is usually more valuable. Since the situation is clear I dont see why shaming is necessary when everything is fully disclosed. I like the design just as it is. I am buying more.

I believe the disclosure came after comments were already posted; otherwise, things could have potentially played out differently.

Yes f*D did acknowledge the error but then deleted their post?.

It is a good thing these coins do not contain private keys, because if he misses two giant errors on the hologram itself, it would be a miracle that the keys would have been handled properly. 

And whether the market agrees or disagrees, there is not a week that goes by where there is not another hastily designed, half-assed product coming out from this maker.  It dilutes the entire market and takes attention away from legitimate releases.

The laser work is sloppy as well.  Look at Mojo or Squirrelbits for quality laser work. This is just low effort amateur garbage in comparison to their work.  And I say this as someone who has purchased several items from the original Finite by Design, which were crisp and well executed minted coins.  The quality has dropped off so much, it's almost like the brand was purchased by someone else and lowered to Temu quality.

hybrid what is your goal? Do you want to take this creator off the forum? When did you become a coin expert? I thought BTC was free open for all creators to share. A simple solution is not buy them. If you have a negative comment dont share it unless you want others to criticize your posts.

What is your goal in white knighting every negative post about this maker?  Are you invested in this company?  I would never have commented here if you did not criticize Mopar for calling out a very obvious mistake on the hologram.

I did not criticize Mo. I did what you did. Its obvious that contacting the maker privately through DM is the best way. This well known maker would fix any issues. I appreciate error coins because they have more value. I will speak out about any criticism. This behavior is common throughout the collector board. I might create a new post on this topic. Thanks for the advice. I might become an investor.

Yup.  It seems so as the post is no longer there.

The hologram typo is indeed an error. It occurred somewhere between the mockup and production stages. I’m not sure how it happened, but I am currently in discussions with the manufacturer to have it corrected. The incorrect holograms will not be used going forward, and only a limited number have been released into the wild, as they have been used only for the past couple of months. In the meantime, I will revert to the previous hologram version (without the error) until the corrected replacements arrive.

I sincerely apologize for the oversight and appreciate it being brought to my attention so it can be addressed.

I am also grateful to those who have been (and continue to be) supportive of my work. Also I understand that this space allows everyone to have a voice, regardless of how that voice may come across.

That said, I am considering stepping away from this forum, as I have experienced a level of hatred and harshness that I do not feel I deserve, nor do I believe anyone does.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Your reply to Mopar can be interpreted as criticism for not going private.  If an individual issue, then yes, DM first; if it's something that affects or can affect an entire release, then there is nothing wrong with bringing it up publicly.

Revealing letters from a hologram isnt a major breakthrough and could have been a planned design. Why not ask the creator directly through DM first? The goal is to draw in more creators and retain the ones we already have. We should avoid creating a fragile environment where creators are walking on eggshells. Many members prefer to be heroes by highlighting flaws rather than focusing on the positives.
