2004 BYOAC Tokens SOLD OUT!!!
Santoro:
Not sure how I missed that one.
It is there for sure, but in real life it isn't very visble unless you catch it in the right light. But it is worth getting fixed. I will send the photo to the engraver tonight.
Chris:
I just checked the source files... it's not in our originals.
It looks as if we lost some height variations. The front originally had four different height levels, but it looks like the lead coin has only three. Not a big deal, of course; I'm sure we're being much bigger perfectionists and a much bigger pain than their regular clients. But it would be nice to get the B fixed.
On the other hand, the back looks exactly like the original art with the exception of the dentils, right down to the slightly 3-d look of the joystick...
Very exciting!

Looking closer, I see similar marks on the Y and A. I doubt any of the raised marks would be visible at all on an actual token at actual size, though...

Santoro:
It is noticeable in certain light and not noticeable in other light.
I sent a note to the mint, if they aren't willing to admit a problem, I would be OK with it the way it is. Remember the hi-res pictures are super-sized. It isn't a big deal even when you can see it at quarter-size.
I would like to see if they can fix it though. We'll see what they say.
Santoro:
The respnse from the mint is that thhe marks we saw were machine tool marks and they have been stoned out. (Thanks Kremmet for pointing this out.)
I should have a new lead proof by tomorrow.
