Important Information from @Phelimint on the Design

We also want to make everyone aware that we will be working with 2d dies for this project to help keep the costs down. That just means we will be unable to replicate any bust, faces, or layer images onto the rounds which would require a 3d die. We have some examples here of some amazingly detailed work stuck with 2d dies to help guide the designers. You can see the full catalog from Chautauqua silver works here for more examples (they are the industry leaders in the 2d format and work with the same mint we are) https://www.phelimint.com/blogs/mint-reviews/chautauqua-silver-works. For any other questions regarding this please reach out the team at Pheli Mint, by email [email protected] or discord at phelimint #3565.

Here are a few images of designs and as you can see, you can go into significant detail

If you want to pay for your 20+ coin order in CAD please email Phelimint at [email protected]. They will also accept international orders that are not being paid in cryptocurrency, but please do this through Transferwise (referral code-for €500 free transfer https://transferwise.com/u/phillipb50) . Hopefully, they are able to accept Bitcoin orders through the site in the coming weeks for smaller orders. For those wanting to make Credit Card/Paypal payments this should be available next week. (note: credit card payments will carry an additional fee)

If you have any questions regarding payment or anything else you can contact me on Steemit.Chat (sevinwilson) or on Discord (sevinwilson#5606). For those with neither Steemit.Chat or Discord, you can email me at [email protected].
