I like version 3 for the final. While the white lettering in version 4 looks a bit better in "print"... the actual metal stamping will make MUCH more of the outlines and relief in version 3.

Awesome. I'm finally excited about the possibilities again!!

I know nothing about how the stamping works, so I'm all ears on that part...and I have no problem tweaking the design, and considering other suggestions, based on your experienced. I thought ver. 3 would be too detailed. But that's cool if it's not. I like that one better anyhow.

I'm stoked that you love them.    ....and hate them!  :)

Bling 'em, bling 'em.  I like a few of them so far but I think maybe curmudgeon's are my favorite so far.  I think jfunk and pixel might be of a more appropriate era, but since I am at least as into mechanical things as I am arcades I really like Curmudgeon's.

Mostly, I think we've finally arrived at a place where we should see everything blinged up for comparison.

It is hard to tell which of these two versions is my favorite.  I like the look of version 3 but the complexity may be a bit too much for minting.  We will have to let Santaro let us know on that front.  Personally I like the invader style coins but these are just too pretty not to be considered.

Excellent Job Mr C. :cheers:

EDIT**  A few suggestions.  You have the coins designed for visual excellence as they sit now.  However the coloring is not proper for minting.  The lighter the shade the more to the front the object will be.  An example of where you have a mistake in this are the banners on the front face.  Another example are the stars.  I understand the faceting you envision for them but as they sit now they will not show up that way when minted.  I don't know how you would set this up for minting but maybe when they are 'blinged' it will translate better.

EDIT 2 **  I would take out the screws from the stars on the back and then do a reverse faceting on the star in the '1'  Also loose the shadowing for the main lettering on both sides (v4) as well as around the edge of the coin.  These look nice in this form but will be there anyway when minted.  I would also shade the number '1' slightly so when minted it will be lower than the word 'TOKEN'  Once version 4 is tweaked for minting it should be the best design of any I have seen and one to be coveted in anyone's collection.

Darn you, Mr. C!
