yep, I payed about 20 for mine, it is on its way as we speak, and then i will begin making the two headed version out of metal. The materials are getting kinda pricey, so i will probably offer a few here or on ebay to offset the cost.
I've run into one problem though. A few hours ago I went to see the movie again with a group of friends. Our sole intention was to catch every scene with the coin, and record every detail accurately. I printed out pictures of an enlarged peace dollar for everyone and handed out sharpies to map the scratches on the dark side of the coin......we all came to the same realization....
1. There are very few clear shots of the "bad" side of the coin, it always flashed for a split second, out of focus, or covered by Dent's thumb (or batman's in the first scene it is shown)
2. There are at least 2 (most probably 3) different damaged coins in the film.
One where batman picks it up and it is severely scratched, the scratches go diagonally across the coin and are deepest at the edges of the coin and get slightly shallower near the center so you can see the face. Another shot shows the coin almost completely black with a few defined scratches, the largest going through the neck of the head on the coin. And finally, in the final scenes the coin shows no serious gashes or scrapes, just an overall black charred look (also noticed a smaller continuity issue where dent is holding the good side of the coin out, and then when they cut back to him it is the bad side)
So, I'm going to design my coin to the more scratched up (and in my opinion, cooler) version.
If anyone has any way of getting higher res pics or caps of the film please let us know.......I think the times that the coin is the clearest is when batman pics it up and when dent pics it up off the hospital tray.
Also, on a side not, i'm kinda new to this forum. If I am going to make a few extra coins to sell would the interest thread go here or the junkyard?
Thanks!
