    The beautiful Zodiac Skulls Momento Mori medals are so much higher relief than the LunarSkulls....like night and day. Clearly, for those fans of high relief, the Zodiac Momento Mori is the hands down winner.

    Thanks for sharing those cool pics.

    "Hello from First Coin Company,

    Thank you for your order in presale! We apologize for the delay!

    Unfortunately due the damages on some of the Proof coins we have refunded US$149.90 for one coin from your order #2606."

    must say, i am not that impressed. :/

    does this mean there are less than 500 of the proofs? if some were damaged?

    Great pics Luker!


    As for damage on a proof lunar Skull coin, I am convinced this was not the fault of the FCC and it would likely also mean that while mintage is still 500, at least 1 of the 500 may be kept by the original seller of the series and not be sold into the after market (if the original seller is smart and cares about QC and reputation of the seiries).

    I sort of wish the serial #'s were etched into the edge of the Goat Skulls (see Aquarius photos above), as opposed to the outer rim.

    The reddit Silverbug Ariana has this, too, for example.. Simply a break in the reeded edge.


    Maybe something for SM to consider for future years of the Lunar Skulls?

    Nice looking set. I'm curious to see next releases.

    I just hope we soon won't have million of "skull" coins and medals.

    First Coin Co sent an email the other day notifying customers who purchased the BU to expect to get it soon as they will be shipping next week.

    Dunno why original Lunar Skull topic is still locked and we have (at least) two topic for "Memento mori".

    Anyway...

    I've finally received my Lunar Skulls. I like them, for the reasons I already probably posted: fresh idea in the quite "boring" theme (lunars), unique numbers on coins and COA, "dots" around the coin, and good quality and details. Coin reflects like a mirror. :) Oh and reverse (without the Queen) is a killer too! ;)

    Can't wait to see next ones. 11 years will be quite a lot of time to wait, but I think it will be worth it.

    That was a good buy BB.

    I paid $69 per coin. People are buying them up on eBay for like $85 and higher.
