*MAME TOKENS for sale, LAST CHANCE FOR BRASS!!!*
froggerman:
I am in favor of a MAME token for 2005. Start the designs now!
Santoro:
I should point out that while the Nickel outsold the Brass BYOAC tokens, it wasn't by a huge margin. I still have more Brass because I got another few thousand from the mint as a 'settlement' for the fact that they omitted the dentils on the dies.
The nickel outsold the brass only by something like 20%.
The dies have been corrected and if we were to order any more tokens they would have dentils.
So far the response to this will not make a batch of MAME tokens worthwhile. 23 possible buyers is not a lot, especially when the minimum order for Nickel is 10,000 and some would only order 100.

I'd probably order 200 - 300 if it were a Nickel only batch. Otherwise, I'd order half brass/half nickel.

Except you can eBay pure MAME tokens, where you couldn't really eBay BYOAC tokens.
One possible compromise is to use one of the generic reverse dies, or to re-use the reverse die that we created for the BYOAC token (the "Happy Guy" side), which has nothing BYOAC-specific. This will cut your die charges (and design/arguing time) in half.

Ditto Chris' comments about Ebay and back side, plus don't forget the potential orders from other MAME sites.
