Anyone know anything about the John Wick Gold Coins?

[Rusty85]

i could probably cast them in pewter then electroplate them in gold...i'll have to think on it for a while

Did you get a confirmation on the correct size and thickness by any chance?

 

[ultraman]

no but i could make an educated guess that they are 1.5 inches in diameter ....same as a morgan silver dollar....they usually keep the coins this size so that they weigh out at 31gr which is the gold standard in a "troy ounce coin"...... :ninja
luckily i'm also a gold and silver investor so i know such things lol

we could talk to Wolfie about making the coin, did a good job with the Shield / Hydra coin he made so has experience making coins.

Kind of looks like a bow at the bottom, not snakes. Maybe tying the branches together?

Nice job getting that photo! Did you reach out to Sandra Marsh & Associates for this?

EDIT: Was trying to quote you ultraman about scoring the photo.

Yes, metal coins would be much better. Shapeways charges a lot for gold plated, so if we could do it here, that would be better.

 

[ultraman]

well i can't give up all my secrets....that'd be like a magician telling you how the trick was done! lol
lets just say i was one of those kids that use to write to a company's ceo to tell them everything that was wrong with their packaging on a product.
so i taught myself at a young age how to get a hold of the top guys.:ninja

More like a bow. Yes. And I can't believe I was right about her holding the olive branch.

 

[ultraman]

good call on the olive branch:cool

Revisited side 1. Fixed the rays.

 

[ultraman]

Revisited side 1. I like the Lion, but I think the new rays need some work. Maybe thinner and pointed on the end ?

Looks nice. The embossed dots around the periphery of the coin look a bit mis-aligned on your render, can you straighten them up?

 

[Rusty85]

Looking great so far!

The rays look much better, love watching this thing come to life!

Will check on it.

Better dots ?
It is difficult to hand align 100 tiny dots to better than 1/10th of a millimeter. Please highlight any areas that still need work.

The only thing I noticed on the last one was maybe a slight flat spot in your circle of dots on the left hand side, but it looks all straightened out now.

 

[Jintosh]

Okay, I'm calling this side good and proceeding to side 2.

 

[Jintosh]

The leaves will be the hardest part.

 

[Rusty85]

Looking great so far!

Mmm... I'm inclined to say that's a sword in front of the shield, not a cross on the shield...
