Very awesome. Can we assume her legs will be more visible on the token? I had to change my monitor settings to even find them.

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #121 on:** October 24, 2008, 10:23:40 pm »

Everything will be more clearly visible. The detail resolved on the coin is far greater than what the screen resolves. You definitely should not judge visibility from the file at it's attached size.

That said... you won't see any further down the legs.. ie to the feet.

Looks great! Very tastefully done, although a little more size wouldn't hurt.

I'd like to get some of these! My wife was reluctant to get the 200 tokens I have now, but with the size of my cab collection on the rise, I think I can justify it!

Absolutely great designs by everyone. I must have missed it somewhere, but how/when/how much to get a hold of some of these?

TheShanMan · « **Reply #124 on:** October 29, 2008, 09:49:16 pm »

Santoro sells them on his site: http://www.arcadetokens.com/

dstone · « **Reply #125 on:** November 10, 2008, 12:43:37 pm »

Should we change the dates to 2009?

ChadTower · « **Reply #126 on:** November 10, 2008, 02:34:16 pm »

This timeframe is normal. Pixelhugger gets it done when he can - it's a hobby and we're all cool with it.

TheShanMan · « **Reply #127 on:** November 10, 2008, 04:09:11 pm »

I doubt it was meant as a criticism. It's a good point though. In fact, when I started considering tokens at the beginning of this year my first thought was "I should probably wait for the 2008 tokens because they're probably coming out any time now". I think with it being an end of the year project, it makes more sense to date it for the following year. So while labeling them 2008 wouldn't prevent me from buying them, I would rather see them labeled 2009.

ChadTower · « **Reply #128 on:** November 10, 2008, 04:25:39 pm »

That would cause there to be no 2008 tokens. Remember that they go back a few years. No one wants a gap!

Too true. I have a single token from each year so far mounted on my bezel with room for plenty more... I'd quickly get sick of explaining to people why there is a year missing.

Well, are we going forward with this?

LordKaosNY · « **Reply #131 on:** February 01, 2009, 02:56:52 am »

What'll it take to make this happen??

fatfingers · « **Reply #132 on:** February 01, 2009, 03:42:51 pm »

I suspect something rather nasty happened in Santoro's life.

Santoro · « **Reply #133 on:** February 03, 2009, 11:00:36 pm »

Naw, I am here. My job has me working late every night and I am exhausted. I catch up on the weekends.

We will do these as 2009 tokens obviously. Sorry to drag it out after I specifically promised I wouldn't.

fatfingers · « **Reply #134 on:** February 04, 2009, 07:36:12 am »

Good. I'm glad to hear it's just work.

Maybe we could do TWO of these designs... label one as 2008 and one as 2009... since most of the issue tends to be with artwork and we have several great ready to go designs in hand here. That would give you a major jump on 2009 as well. It's not like the designs themselves have any direct connection to the year we mint them.

TheShanMan · « **Reply #136 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:34:27 pm »

I'd really like to order some. Is there any reason why we can't at least start making a decision on the designs?

dstone · « **Reply #137 on:** March 29, 2009, 09:59:03 pm »

*cough*

dstone · « **Reply #138 on:** April 13, 2009, 02:21:42 am »

So is this officially dead?

Santoro · « **Reply #139 on:** April 13, 2009, 07:28:10 pm »

OK OK.... Let's get this going again.

Here's what I have for the front. Please let me know of any errors - or if you'd rather move to the back thread.

I am new to the forum, how much longer do I have to submit a token design?

Thanks,

I know it would probably be a headache but I think it will suck if a year is skipped in making these.

I realize that some people would be upset by that (not me), and I can understand it, but 2009 is almost half over. Since I imagine Santoro's not exactly getting rich off of this endeavor, wouldn't doing these as 2008 tokens basically result in all subsequent years being similarly late as well due to the amount of time it takes to break even on a run?

If it were just the headache, I'd do two runs anyway.

In the peak economic times we had a hard time getting enough demand for a full run of 10,000. We would never get demand today for 20,000 tokens at $50 for 200. That is pricing from 2 years ago, I will bet brass prices are way up, I may not be able to offer that pricing this year.

We can call these what we want - 2008/9, or we can omit the date completely... I am open to suggestions.

TheShanMan · « **Reply #145 on:** April 14, 2009, 07:07:38 pm »

I don't particularly care which way you go with them... but if anything I'd probably vote for omitting the date.

dstone · « **Reply #146 on:** April 14, 2009, 07:27:41 pm »

Personally, I'd prefer to keep the date. But that's just because I feel it's an integral part of my design.

TheShanMan · « **Reply #147 on:** April 14, 2009, 07:43:44 pm »

I wouldn't call that integral. Replace "2008" with another "BYOAC" and your front and back designs would look just as good, IMO.

dstone · « **Reply #148 on:** April 14, 2009, 11:22:31 pm »

Huh, I suppose so. Would keep it nice and symmetrical (I've got a weird thing about symmetry going right now).

TheShanMan · « **Reply #149 on:** April 15, 2009, 12:48:10 am »

Yep. That's what I was thinking too.

Santoro, I would forget the one above, ie "one token to rule them all".

The ones attached (brought forward from post #7) are the ones I would prefer to submit.

Thanks
Sez.

It's called O.C.D.

Welcome to my world. Symmetry is my #1 issue with everything.

FYI, there is an article in the newest Gameroom Magazine stating that the big amusement centers are switching to plated zinc coins to cut cost. Is this an option to keep cost down at your coin maker? The article says existing standard brass coin presses can still be used.

Havok · « **Reply #154 on:** April 26, 2009, 10:30:20 pm »

So this is going to be the 2010 token, right?

dstone · « **Reply #155 on:** May 15, 2009, 09:42:42 pm »

Here's a generic version...

I think this needs a lot more than a bump to get going again. As you put it........ He's dead, Jim.
