Happy Horsemas, Anon! We're opening orders for another coin!

>The Mare, The Myth, The Legend
This coin commemorates our daughteru Verity, the winner of Miss /mlp/ 2021. For anyone who doesn't know who she is, her story can be found here: https://files.catbox.moe/ahigsi.png

>The Design
Batsy was kind enough to provide a portrait of Verity for the obverse, and the reverse features the iconic Miss /mlp/ 2021 trophy first posted by >>37848529. The trophy is surrounded by an upright-facing horseshoe for good luck, as well as the classic MARES border from the last coin. Pic related is the most recent render from Osborne.

>Current Status
The dies are in production, but due to the holidays we probably won't be seeing prototype coins until January. Regardless, we feel comfortable enough to start taking orders now if anyone is ready to reserve a coin based on the mint's renders.

Kickstarter rejected the campaign, but we're committed to making it happen, so we're going to open a Ko-Fi listing and run it like a Kickstarter. If we get at least 100 coin orders by January 31, 2025, we'll close the listing and mint the run. If we don't reach 100 orders, we'll refund everyone who placed an order.

PRE-ORDER HERE:

I'm floored that we're already so close! Many, many thanks for all of your support. Since this is a much smaller scale project than the OG Marecoin, I was expecting it to take a couple of weeks to reach this point. \oco/
>>41769615
>>41767734
Weird, I thought Ko-Fi mentioned all of the shipping cost details in the listing. The listed price is for 1 coin, and if additional coins are ordered then shipping increases by a couple dollars per coin. It's necessary because adding more coins increases the weight and size of the package, and the shipping costs increase to match. Also, all of the shipments will be fully insured, which is a cost that's factored in as well.
>>41769874
It'll all be back (and more) after the coin project is over.

Is purchasing this coin worth it? do you get a certificate? isn't the value of 1 ounce coin of silver way lower than the cost of this?

honestly, a good question.
do you get a certificate?
>>
>>41780578
it should come with a certificate of marethenticity
>>
>>41780533
I think part of the cost is also the cost to design and create the striking dies as those go for quite a sum for the prototyping and the final product.
>>
>>41780578
>>41780584
Yes, each coin will come with a Certificate of Marethenticity similar to the last coin!
>>41780533
>Is purchasing this coin worth it?
It depends on what your priorities are. If you're looking to stack the most silver possible for the lowest price, then it's not going to be worth it. Like >>41780599 said, there are a lot of extra fees and taxes involved with making custom coins. But if you're invested in Verity's story and you want a physical piece of board history that will only be produced once, then it may be worth it to you.

So we had the 2022 marecoin as a big group board by-committee event for the board's 10-year anniversary, and now this coin as a proper celebratory token for Verity that wasn't fully realized at the time.

The idea is to save the /mlp/ mint silver coins for commemoration of special occasions, right? So that the value of these coins is more than just the metal they are made of. I would hate to see a coin spit out every year or two just because some people want it or want to make up for missing out on the first coin(s).

The only events I could currently think of for these would be
>20 year board anniversary
>/mlp/ being the first to 3-stars in the 4cc

Any other thoughts as to occasions or events that could be considered?
>>
>>41784312
>/mlp/ being the first to 3-stars in the 4cc
I'd buy 20 coins for that.
>>
>>41784312
Honestly all I want is just a simple and effective /mlp/ coin without any bullshit.
I skipped out on the overdone mare on the rollercoaster one because it had a bunch of OC mares I gave no shits for.
A coin with the 4chan logo on one side and something that represents /mlp/ on the other, and some small meme like having 'mares' around the edges would be perfect.
>>
>>41784312
>3 stars
If /mlp/ actually gets 3 stars first the riot would get 4cc banned on all boards

Will these coins be serial numbered? If so, where - the first ones had them on the edge, yes?

>>41784312
>Any other thoughts as to occasions or events that could be considered?
Marenheit 451 5 year anniversary (2025).
FiM 15 year anniversary (2025).
>>
>>41784629
Because it was done before.
Because ownership of stolen coins can be traced.
Because numbers imply strike order - earlier ones ostensibly having cleaner strikes (same with art prints, donchaknow).
Because some people are superstitious or like certain numbers and hope they get that.
So... is this feature going to be continued or not?
>>
>>41785679
continued implies the /mlp/ coin had a serial number
it did not
it came with a non-serialed certificate of marethenticity
>>
>>41785679
Take into consideration how much more complicated the minting process would be, and the resulting price increase.
>>
>>41785764
>it did not
You're right - it had some text on the edge.

>>41785770
>the resulting price increase
PMG minters use Osborne and some rounds have serial numbers, and none cost more than $65 (and that was gilded, too).

But I agree - no need for serial #s.
>>
>>41783766
This project won't generate any significant profits. However, if there's anything left over, it will go towards offsetting the cost of another project of mine, the Mare Gallery. Through the auction of Mare Gallery art pieces at conventions, more than $65,000 has been raised for small horse farms around the country. Anything left over from this coin project will be used to help keep the Gallery going, so there will definitely be some horses that are directly helped through it.
>>41784617
No, the last set of coins wasn't serialized and we're not planning on doing it for this coin.
>>
>>41786573
>we're not planning on [serial numbers]
Thanks for the info and your work.

Looks like there's no point in investing then so I can track down, and brutally torture to death by shoving small plushies into their mouths until their jaw breaks and they suffocate, everyone with a coin that has a number I wanted before taking the coin and handing the extras out for free at cons.
Eventually, of course, I decide I want some of those numbers so the hunt always continues! So thanks for ruining my fun!

22 more to go. if the pre-orders managed to get to 250 or 300, can we get a metal /mlp/ pin with the idea of >>41784312 either a 20 year board anniversary or /mlp/ being the first to 3-stars in the 4cc
>>
>>41787006
A pin might be a bit much for this project, but I could foresee either of those ideas being a successful project on their own in the future. Although, if we want to do a 20 year anniversary coin, we should probably start the threads for it at our 18th anniversary. As fun as the crowdsourced design autism is, it takes a lot of time.
>>41784312
>The idea is to save the /mlp/ mint silver coins for commemoration of special occasions, right?
That's my opinion too. After this coin, I don't have plans for another, but the hype surrounding a third star might be enough to warrant it.

>>41786573

>Anything left over from this coin project will be used to help keep the Gallery going, so there will definitely be some horses that are directly helped through it.

May want that to be added to the KoFi description if all of it is going to running those charity events - some may look at the price of the coin and whatnot and feel they are straight-up overpaying at the price it's at, example: >>41787175 .

>>
>>41788344
There was an 1% chance of receiving a golden marecoin the first time around, it was an option from Osborne that didn't add a lot of extra cost and made ordering a lot more fun. Even with all our orders I think there's only one or two in existence

Oh you know...
1. Awareness of Rules and Policies
Recognition of Rules: I become more aware of the existence and importance of the website’s rules, which they may not have thoroughly read or understood before.
Clarity on Expectations: The ban can prompt the user to revisit the guidelines, leading to a better understanding of acceptable behavior and content.
Specific Rule Violated: The user learns which specific action or behavior was unacceptable and why it was deemed problematic.
2. Understanding of Consequences
Immediate Repercussions: The ban served as a tangible reminder that violating rules leads to penalties, reinforcing the seriousness of compliance.
Long-term Impact: I realize that repeated violations can lead to more severe consequences, such as permanent bans or loss of access to a community they value.
3. Reflection on Behavior
Self-Assessment: I reflected on what I did and whether it aligns with their values or intentions.
Empathy Development: I understand how my behavior might have affected others (e.g., causing harm, offense, or disruption) it fostered a sense of empathy.
Pattern Recognition: The ban might highlighted a recurring issue in my online behavior, prompting deeper introspection.
4. Improved Digital Citizenship
Respect for Community Standards: I learned the importance of adhering to collective norms to maintain a harmonious online space.
Adaptation Skills: I may have developed better strategies for expressing myself within the bounds of acceptable behavior.
Conflict Resolution: If the rule-breaking involved interpersonal conflict, the ban can encourage the user to approach disagreements more constructively in the future.
5. Technical Lessons
Account Security: If the rule violation involved sharing sensitive information or spamming, the user might learn about safeguarding personal data or using platforms responsibly.
Platform Dynamics: I gained a better understanding of how moderation works and the tools platforms use to enforce rules, such as automated filters or human moderators.
6. Emotional and Social Impact
Value of Access: Being restricted it made me appreciate the platform more, recognizing its role in my social life.
Social Reputation: They may become more aware of how their actions affect their reputation within the online community.
Emotional Regulation: Experiencing consequences for impulsive or aggressive behavior can encourage better emotional control in future interactions.
7. Reinforcement of Personal Values
Alignment with Goals: I reflected on whether myr behavior aligns with the reasons they joined the platform, such as seeking meaningful discussions or learning opportunities.
Ethical Growth: The ban acted as a checkpoint for personal ethics and a chance to reinforce positive online habits.

Making dies is very expensive and the cost is amortised across all coins. I remember with the marecoin the final price depended on the total amount of orders collected IIRC.
Plus labour, plus mint surcharge, pretty sure the mint has a surcharge on spot too, plus other processing like polishing.

If you want to stack cheap silver, go to your local coin shop and pick up a bunch of junk silver. 4chan coins are collectibles, and there’s no reason to buy more than one or two unless you want to flex your wallet or play with the secondary market.

On the other hoof, I mean hand, it also say " If we get at least 100 coin orders by January 31, 2025, we'll close the listing and mint the run."
So it may be "We mint only if we reach 100 by January 31" or "We close and mint as soon as we hit 100".
I think you are right tho because, we already hit 100.
And also, the first coin was "as much order as possible" so, yeah, I think I have until January 31, but I want to be sure.

Do the original molds for these exist still? I'd pay for a cast copper one!

>>41796785
Yes it's called premium. The premium on a 100oz silver bar is the lowest, because it's $3,000. The premium is lower on a 10oz bar because it's $300. The premium on 1oz rounds is always the highest, and even higher for a custom production run. Over 50% premium is completely expected.

Also know when stacking precious metals that smaller denominations are almost always preferable. It's much easier to buy a few 10oz bars and say you have 30oz of silver, but you're never going to be able to use it as currency if needed, vs 30x1oz rounds.

Specialty coins like this are probably never going to be sold anyways. Silver is a niche market and pony silver is a super niche within that market.

Hmm, google says sulfur in the air tarnishes silver, and oxygen tarnishing is a gray color. You would also need a release agent like a thin grease coating which should protect the coin anyways. Your risk to take.

It would be physically possible, but I think I can speak for me and Wolvan when I say it's not something we'd initiate or approve. That design was made to commemorate our 10th anniversary, and instead of rerunning it, I'd argue it'd be better to make a new design for future milestones like our 15th anniversary or a third star.

Yeah, I 100% agree with you, it was a rhetorical question.
Even if I love silver coins for special occasions tho (despite the high price for these, outch!) I think a non precious coin maybe each year can be funny.
Like a week of proposition, one week of voting, one week to make the design, and a month to order.
But that's a lot of work, and I, unfortunately, don't trust me enough with deadlines to handle the non precious coins.

The silver ones aren't coins either. They're bullion 'rounds'. Coins are gov't-issued with a face value backed by that government. Though there are non-circulated bullion coins that have face values only to bypass tax laws for countries that charge extra tax on bullion.

>>41804473
You got me. They are rounds.
>>41804642
I understand the promise, but if it's not silver then it's not a silver minting. Something labelled silver while being copper is obviously a cosmetic piece.

Seems kinda pointless to keep the molds for no reason. I don't think copper (or chocolate) reproductions break that promise, and won't effect the value of authentic silver rounds.
>>

You can make anything as long as you add the word "copy". This can be done after the minting (e.g. by hand striking) or by modifying the die.

nta but what do you mean?
It's a really standard procedure in the industry to modify molds and dies, why couldn't we do it on these kind of dies?
You can't modify everything, but erasing a raised part or adding a recessed one is easy.
You have to re treat it afterwards tho (chemically or thermically)

You act like the cost of making modifications would cost nothing and the labor involved in making them legal by putting copy on them isn't significant. All those modification take time and effort for a cheap copper coin. No one is going to do this and its stupid to suggest as much. If you want to make a cheap copper coin for anons to buy a bunch, make a group project of your own instead of trying to rehash old projects. And to top it off I bet Osborne would charge as much for a new die to make modifications to an old die. And I really doubt they would bother either considering the effort needed to make mods vs. a new one. It doesn't make sense in any real world application. But if money was no object of course anything is possible I suppose. But that's the humiliating part, where you think this a viable commercial project and someone would want to be involved in it.

Kek, I though you were serious, but you just took me for an other Anon. But to answer (you):

>cost nothing to modify die
I never said so. Just that it wasn't as stupid as it sounds because it's done a lot in the industry for molds.
(a quick google search: "Given the complexities of producing and assembling a new injection mold, modifying an existing injection mold may save you time and money in the long run." [https://sybridge.com/modify-your-injection-mold-or-build-new-mold/] )

>making legal coin by putting copy
I am not that Anon. Beside, 'legal' is a fucked up thing knowing we all live in different countries. It would be very hard to make it legal everywhere (or maybe with the queen's face trick or something? idk, and idc).

>copper coin
Anon, if I wanted a copper coin, I would do it myself. And the first thing would be to make a thread (or ask here) to at least know how many Anons would be interested.

>Osborne modifying an old die
I don't know the cost (and so do you), and I just said it was possible, not easy nor cheap.
Let's search for answers...
And according to [https://customcoins.osbornecoin.com/news/multiple-finish-options-with-1-pair-of-dies] (may not be the same Osborne):
"Because of the way dies are made, any changes once they are hardened means making a completely new die. Even something as small as changing 2019 to 2020 means the die must be re-made. For this reason, a final review of the provided layout is critical."
So, nope, even if it's possible in industry molds, it doesn't seem possible to do so for dies.
The hardening process (when treated by heat at least) don't seem to be reversible.
That or they prefer to sell a new order, that's an other possibility.

Now, next time you want to humble someone, at lest, provide links and sources.

I thought about getting 50 coins since silver is likely getting more expensive, but that would have burned too much money between the price per ounce and cost per coin. Idk how expensive the next batch would be if the price of silver gets to 50-200 in the coming years, so it's best I get all the MLP coins I can at current prices.

I should add that there's probably some banks that let you store precious metals and take loans against them, so it could be seen as a transformation of dollars into mare assets instead of cost.

Mare coins are not a wise investment for silver - they're a speculation for their collectible popularity.
If you want to 'stack' silver to bank on spot price increases, look into buying cheap generic bars or rounds, or slightly higher-priced current-issue bullion coins in more reasoned hopes of numismatic increase.

The coin was not associated with 4chan, it just happened to be available just a bit after the /mlp/ coin was finished, if I recall correctly. Again, the kickstarter was run by a group of bronies/furries. Like >>41808106 said, there were internal issues and someone supposedly stole from the project so they had to restrike/remake another batch. Still, they did not mail out the coins with the care/containers that the /mlp/ coin did.

I wouldn't count that one. It had no association with /mlp/, let alone 4chan. The management for it was horrible and I'm not surprised how things turned out given that it was run by furfags. I refused to back them the moment I saw their organizational info on Kickstarter, thankfully my intuition was right. I also saw this coin being sold at Mare Fair 2, at one of the vendor booths, without a protective case and it was in pretty rough shape. How do you not supply one of the most basic things for a commemrative coin made with precious metals?
>>
>>41807805
>So you could strike copper coins with the dies
Correct.
>but would likely need someone to manually deface the "silver" text
There is no need to deface any text, the minter just needs to stamp the word "copy" nearby. It's as simple as striking a special "punch" piece with a hammer.

>>41807834
As for the difference, mold is used to mold things and implies a change of state (liquid to solid for example, like molten metal or resin to make objects, or even water to make ice cubes).
A die is used to strike things, and implies no change of state (so, the thing stay solid). You usually strike metals, be it to make industrial objects from metal sheets (that you can bend later), or, like in this case, coins or rounds from blanks.
(A round is a piece of metal and it's only price is the one of the raw metal. A coin is a piece of metal, but it has two prices, the raw metal and the fiat value whatever countries attribute to it)
>>
>>41808451
That seems like the easier way.
>>41808474
I mean defacing the text on the round after it's formed.
Great informative post.
>>
>>41808479
>after it's formed
Well, first, that defeat the whole purpose of mass producing something, if you have to hand touch each piece (with such precision, it's common in the industry to polish or whatever after production, but not so much for mintage).
Hand work is not cheap in developed countries.
>>
>>41808557
>that defeat the whole purpose of mass producing something, if you have to hand touch each piece
Just to clarify: how do you imagine the serial numbers are striked on the /pmg/ coins?
Do you seriously think they made a die for each coin?
>Hand work is not cheap in developed countries.
It's less than $1 per coin, because it takes ~1 minute.
>>
>>41808079
Something similar happened to me: they put my silver coins (bare, with no protective cover) in a plain envelope (no padding or protection or even a ziplock bag) and mailed it to me. And by the time it got to me, the envelope had a hole torn into it, so the coins were exposed to the world on their transit. I'm lucky that the coins didn't fall out during shipment. Yankee Brigade Studios seem to be fucking idiots.
>>
>>41804755

>drawing certain (legal) words on a metal disc is illegal
I understand anti-conterfieting laws, and I understand false advertising laws for things which look like silver, but these kinds of restrictions for novelty hobby rounds is just gay as fuck
>>
Maybe in like 10 or 15 years we can modify the original dies to change the year and have an updated reminting of the first coin
>>
>>41807216
There is zero point in stacking these for the silver value. You are overpaying about 250% over spot value, and silver isn't a crypto shitcoin - it's not even an investment stock, so you'll be looking at maybe 5% gains per year, at MOST. The premium wipes out all gains you might hope to make in any reasonable amount of time.

You buy as many of these as you want to spend on as collectibles, and then you stack silver in the shape of generic, unmarked rounds with minimal markup.

Where does the extra $10-15 come from, did Osborne raise its rates or something
>>
>>41808777
>Where does the extra $10-15 come from
I assume it comes from the expected low mintage (the initial estimate was 100 coins) and the increased die cost.
>>
>>41808801
>expected low mintage
We're approaching 2.5x that figure, and Lunar isn't exactly planning on making a profit with this so if this was a significant factor I'd have expected variable pricing (as is standard in group buys when amortised cost is a significant factor)
>increased die cost.
That would explain it, is that Osborne just hiking up its rates? Because the die seems way simpler than last time (even the edges are just plain ridged instead of having an actual pattern)
>>
>>41808807
>I'd have expected variable pricing
I don't think there is a way to set variable pricing on Ko-Fi or Kickstarter. The only reasonable way to resolve the price variance is to say "if there is some leftover money it will go to X" (DEFHR?).
>>
>>41808813
Fair point. You'd have to make people pick an expected price upfront and have a refundable portion or something.
Ultimately a lot of this involves trusting Lunar directly so something like "if we get above X orders, we will refund back $10 per coin" would probably work perfectly fine (assuming it doesn't fuck up Lunar's accounting, and assuming the refunds can be mass-automated - processing a few hundred refunds manually is probably not realistic).

I am not the one that hand gilded it.
I think the Anon used a kit where you can selectively apply gilding (it's a liquid gold solution), but that he preferred to gild everything.
The first step of the process made the coin very dark (see >>41788437 if I remember correctly).
>>
>>41813657
>How do you mean, hand gilded/
There are cheap gold plating kits which allow you to put a thin layer of gold on anything you want.

>>41813692
>The first step of the process made the coin very dark
Yes, the first step is put a thin layer of nickel on the coin because gold diffuses into silver easily.
If you put gold directly on silver, it will just be a silver coin after some time.
>I think the Anon used a kit where you can selectively apply gilding
It's a pain in the ass to use pen plating for that.
Real precise selective plating is done by covering the parts you don't want to gild and then gilding the whole thing, that's how Osborne is doing it.
