It is a tough decision now that all designs are up for voting and I truly like quite a few of them.

However, I will say that I vote for design #16 by Mr. Bau

[tdminer]

I vote design 10 by elianite

[LitcoinCollector]

My vote is for Design Twenty Six by Cranky4u

It's a pitty that it is not a finished, ultra realistic design but,

I see potential and if executed well, I think it would look awesome and people would buy it.

[niktitan132]

My vote is for design Six by iawgoM.

The coin looks pretty good designed and i like it.

[worldtreasurefinders]

By far the best one is Design Nine by campycoin, so they get my vote, even though I made a design of my own I like theirs better.  The only thing I would change is that the hologram needs a window to verify the firstbits.  There's no way I would buy one of these without being able to independently verify the balance of the coin.

[Chemist-for-hire]

I vote for design 20 by chemist-for-hire

After all the shit going on here,i think my design will suite the community the best.

I am voting for design 6 by iawgoM. I am quite sure that I don't have to explain myself because I've posted my reasons in previous topic.

[bonksnp2]

I'll cast my vote for Design Three by S4VV4S.  I like the White/Yellow gold contrast and the design is very clean.  

If I may, one thing most people are likely not thinking about is that even with a reasonably simple design, minting a coin with that design can have issues.  I was even afraid my design would be too complex, but there are several others that have WAY more stuff in them.  For example, Mr.Baus gear design in my opinion looks AWESOME, but I don't think there is any way that can realistically be a coin.  Certainly not with that amount of detail.  

And Coinographic would you mind removing my original submission (Design 22) and just leave my updated submission (Design 4) available for voting? I'm not sure if it was an oversight, but I want this voting process to be as fair as possible.

Thanks and good luck to everyone!

I vote for design 6 by iawgoM.

I chose this coin because I think people will choose to buy it. It looks great, has a clean cut design and the people that I have met that collect these coins would gladly add this coin to their collection.

I vote for design 6, Mr. IawgoM.

Favorite design is number 16 by Mr Bau!

Most of the coins are really good, don't really understand campycoin's design though, looks more like an app icon than a physical coin.

Favorite design is number 16 by Mr Bau!

Most of the coins are really good, don't really understand campycoin's design though, looks more like an app icon than a physical coin.

I see it more like a thick, 2-ounce gold bar, kinda like this:



Very substantial piece of gold in your hands, with the hologram on the back.

[campycoin]

Design 15 is far and away the best.  A lot of thought.  I like the upside down pyramid and more.  Plus the box looks like it includes a free vape pen

Thanks!  That is exactly what we were going for.  It had to be .9999 Solid Gold so we knew we could not have color and "white gold" contrasting with yellow gold. I wanted it to be different...  I see coins all over the place and they are very nice but for something that was only going to be limited to 100, I wanted it to be simple but clearly show it's value.  Appreciate your kind words...  If I knew they were going to want a round coin, I certainly wouldn't have gone so far outside the box.

I vote for Design Ten by elianite

i vote Design Six by iawgoM

[krisdavison]

I vote for design number 6 by iawgoM

Its really clean and I love the colourful back of the coin.

May I just say I've been involved in both BTC and FTC for over a year and for anyone to
question my reasoning for voting just because I'm a member of a different forum is frankly
discrimination. I made my decision based on merit which was not easy as there are a lot of great designs.
