From: http://monnaies-commemoratives-modernes.over-blog.com/[/quote] First I saw this coin at http://www.skarbiecmennicy.pl/50-fortuna-redux-3d-ag-999.html but I realized that folks here don't like links to Polish webs :/ so I found another link http://monnaies-commemoratives-modernes.over-blog.com
You can see the process of manufacturing coins, interesting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In0mEHLOZM8
Arrived today. Will post some real pictures this evening. I have to say this "cylinder" looks very impressive, I am more than happy with purchase and think about one more. The problem is no one has it in stock right now, either Mint of Poland or known to me dealers. Mint of Poland expects new coins around April/May which is very long time
What a MAMMOTH! I think it's a really unique concept. Thinking about a purchase on it. The video that shows the creation process is fantastic. Quite obvious a lot of hard work into it.
I noticed this the other day on euro collections but kind of overlooked it until I saw this thread bit rich for my measley budget but it does look awesome, the video/photos looks great, thanks for sharing CoinsFromWorld/Acme
There's a new 3oz version. It's not as impressive as the 6oz version though. The 3oz version is too small. 6oz one is just gorgeous!
