PROOFS!

I think they look great, as always sharper and smoother than the photos might lead you to believe.

Those are HAWT!!!!

I want! I want!

dang, i don't think those tokens will fit in my coin door slot...

kidding, i realize they're not tokens.

KevSteele · « **Reply #85 on:** October 25, 2005, 08:57:46 am »

Wow, they're even better looking as proofs than the "blinged" artwork.

Can't wait to see them in brass and nickel.

i'm so glad we went with pixel's artwork.

Me too! Pixel's artwork, all of it, is so awesome.

Is it sad that this is my second token order from Santoro (got the MAME^tm tokens several months ago) and I don't have a working cabinet yet? Oh well, must have shiny tokens... GIVE ME SHINY TOKENS!

mr. curmudgeun? i thought i was dealing with santoro...or am i crazy?

Santoro · « **Reply #88 on:** October 25, 2005, 04:07:47 pm »

I am Santoro... A little goofing around going on.

I'll change it back later today so as not to confuse customers.

Santoro · « **Reply #89 on:** October 25, 2005, 10:36:51 pm »

Done :-)

Mark70 · « **Reply #90 on:** October 26, 2005, 01:14:41 pm »

Is the fat rough edge just excess material on the proofs that gets cut off later?

They'll look like the edge of a normal coin right? and fit a .984 mech. I ordered my mechs around these tokens.

COMMON!! SEND THEM ALREADY!!!

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #93 on:** October 27, 2005, 06:35:21 pm »

Heh heh- minting coins is cooool.

Flinkly · « **Reply #94 on:** October 28, 2005, 01:11:26 pm »

so pixel, how good does it feel to see your artwork imortalized in brass and nickel? and having your artwork included in three sets of coins? man, your cab sure is gonna be a DIY cab, "look, i even minted my own design on my tokens...".

then again, you'll have to finish your cab before you can say that.

Mark70 · « **Reply #95 on:** November 02, 2005, 11:57:57 am »

*begins trying various foregn currency coins in his mechs to avoid making an impatient post*

...just acting like an impatient child. I know that you're at the mercy if the mint's schedule.

Santoro · « **Reply #96 on:** November 02, 2005, 12:09:53 pm »

I didn't get the Brass yet.

Flinkly · « **Reply #97 on:** November 02, 2005, 06:57:04 pm »

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

really, the suspense is killing me. the biggest part is the fact that updates keep coming but none are to tell me that my tokens are coming. not like updates are bad, just nerve racking. i can't wait. it's like its christmas already.

why am i so impatient? i don't even have a cabinet to use them in...

JONTHEBOMB · « **Reply #98 on:** November 02, 2005, 07:17:25 pm »

I ordered a 200 Mix (100 Nickel/100 Brass).
Should I expect the brass soon?
Or should I expect to wait until nickel is also done and they will come packaged together?

Thanks for making the coins Santoro. I can't wait to adjust my coin mech so it will take them.

Santoro · « **Reply #99 on:** November 04, 2005, 10:30:21 am »

The Brass Tokens have arrived!!!!!

Santoro · « **Reply #100 on:** November 04, 2005, 10:39:49 am »

A few observations.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #101 on:** November 04, 2005, 12:50:20 pm »

WOW!!! Man those are gonna look great in "person!" Post one of those treasure chest shots of a pile of them... that seems to be the best way to see the shininess.

So... ::sniff

I can't wait to see the nickle. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Santoro and Pixlehugger kick so much quarter tails! Power to the Tokens!

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #106 on:** November 04, 2005, 05:43:18 pm »

BEAUTIFUL!!! Especially when opened full size. Man I can hardly wait for the box o booty!

Great photo, Dave! Cool depth of field and composition.... it looks like a Nat. Geographic article on suken treasure.

markrvp · « **Reply #108 on:** November 08, 2005, 05:12:05 pm »

Any status updates on the nickel?

I am EXTREMELY STOKED with how these look.

Santoro · « **Reply #109 on:** November 08, 2005, 05:23:40 pm »

My wife advises me that Nickel arrived today. Unfortunately I am in Virginia at corporate HQ in training so I can't take pictures. Mrs. Santoro is counting tonight, shipping should start Thursday.

Early Xmas gift to myself

Flinkly · « **Reply #111 on:** November 08, 2005, 09:12:50 pm »

well give the lady a pat on the back, or whatever you want to give her in appreciation.

Santoro · « **Reply #112 on:** November 08, 2005, 09:17:24 pm »

Hey, she's the office manager for this endeavor. She hates when I get involved with all the counting and packing because it screws up 'her system.' I even registered her a name here (Mrs. Santoro) but I don't think she dares stray into geek-land with the rest of us here.

The fact that she doesn't stray into this land makes me feel even MORE confident in her ability to take care of everything. It proves she's quite intelligent haha

What, it's not like we're playing dungeons and dragons here or anything.

siropa · « **Reply #115 on:** November 09, 2005, 06:36:15 pm »

got mine today. brass only. holy crap they are nice. I was worried about the small font, but it kinda gives the tokens a slightly worn look which I much prefer over the shiny nickel ones I got last time. these feel just like the tokens I remember as a kid from aladdin's castle.

thanks santoro and Pixlehugger

Santoro · « **Reply #116 on:** November 09, 2005, 06:41:01 pm »

Ding ding, you win the prize, First to report receiving tokens!

Glad you like em.

pointdablame · « **Reply #117 on:** November 09, 2005, 07:11:55 pm »

Must.....

Remain...........

Patient.................

aumameman · « **Reply #118 on:** November 10, 2005, 03:14:15 am »

I cant wait to get my Tokens. I hope by next weekend but thats asking a lot...

patience is the key

Mark70 · « **Reply #119 on:** November 10, 2005, 08:49:59 am »

Can someone who has recieved theirs post a pic next to come currency that we recognise? I just want to get an idea of the size.

.984" is pretty close the size of a Canadian dollar coin. A "loonie" is slightly larger than 1"... by a very small fraction; where .984 should be only slightly smaller.

It will help to placate me until my nickel order arrives next week some time (hopefully).
