In the ongoing saga of the coins, the minting company now wants 4 times the cost that i was recently quoted to just engrave the coins.

As such they will be coming non engraved, at which time they may or may not be engraved before going to their original homes.

Buy a stamp set from Princess Auto and do them yourself :)

Most jewelers engrave as well...
 
Complaint filed with ombudsman of canada post after 3rd level of management fed me the same B.S.

Yep. Lots of places sell different sizes, you can buy just numbers or letters. Maybe do a -1 instead of R and no letters needed. Sets cheap typically though.

I've punched lots of brass disks with different sizes. Practice, draw a line with a pencil if hand stamping, reset in the mark after every strike. Harder hits not always better. Depending on curve, multiple hits to fill in. But nice results can be had.
 
Can’t get away from this anymore, it’s the age of me first, that’s mine and I’ll sue you. Gone are the days of the handshake honor and your word is good as gold, and a hard day's work for a good wage. I miss thoughts days.

You have multiple infractions too? Why are all my favourite internet personalities about to be censored?

Good for you! Maybe this needs some media attention to grease their wheels...

There are still some of us whose word is our bond, earn every penny and say what we mean. We're just getting fewer and farther between...

It's not censoring, it's reminding us of our manners...you can say whatever you want...but it might cost you...me...

Infractions are like Granny rapping you on the knuckles for reaching instead of asking at the supper table...

It stings more when you don't expect it. :)

Well I was just going off the Moby Dick meme to help with my pirate musings, I'm CERTAINLY not the one that just insinuated CC has a blowhole. Or webbed appendages.
...Or are you meaning it in a complimentary way? That she can hold her breath for a really long time, and when dead, we can render her down for lamp oil? Both excellent additions to anyone's CV.

Clearly I've been away from the site for a while. I'd have to agree with Strewth on his assessment. I could do with a nice pair of fox fur slippers....

Complain to media. Sadly I've already received mine, or I would totally be in for some media spotlight stuff.

I hear seal fur slippers are more comfortable. They also offend the eco-freaks. ;D
 
So I went with unnumbered special edition for those that lost theirs in the mail.

Some other good news, the new packaging seems to be postie proof, or at least postie resistant. Mine showed up yesterday.
