    First I want to thank you all for this great forum!
    It's the first time I post something here, but I read everything :)


    I have a question.
    Recently I purchased a Debt & Death coin from a local ebaylike site. It's a great coin with a great story and since I have the Slave Queen, Freedom girl and the Trivium I wanted to "complete" the set.

    But I noticed the Silver Bullet side of my coin has a matte finish. All the other D&D coins I see on the web has a prooflike finish on that side. The skull side is exactly like all the other I see.
    Now it seems I can't find any info about this coin where both sides have a matte finish.

    Does someone know anything about this ?

    Thanks!

    Their first Run was hampered by nearly everything that could go wrong did.
    Different press' were used.
    We had trivium that turned up with different rim also.

    The bigger story is that you actually received your Slave Queen, Freedom girl order!

    Most have not as continued delays are killing the energy around these issues.

    Actually, I haven't received them. I'm waiting also... ordered them 3 days ago though :)
    I buy from a european seller where delivery will take 6 to 8 weeks. I knew it when I ordered them, so it's no problem for me.

    Will probably own them the rest of my life :)

    maybe i havn't looked hard enough into these rounds
    but is there a maximum mintage on these freedom girl
    rounds... or a cut off date?

    i can only seem to find people who chat about delays
    on these... anyone know anything about mintage parameters
    offhand

    if i overlooked something obvious on their site addressing this
    apologies for being a moran but i just couldn't find anything

    Googled 'Freedom Girl mintage' and it was the second link ;)

    61,075 normal rounds sold and 5,242 proofs sold to date. Proof sales end today and I think the normal ones are finished end of march, maybe sooner.

    Slave Queen mintage is around 50,769 to date

    Im very fond of these coins.
    Is there an approximate time line for the
    30 coin series to be completed?
    2014 sometime?

    since today is the last day they sell the proof coins through the online website i went on to place an order and what do you know they cannot accept credit cards or debit cards.

    As a business owner myself i never have a problem longer than 10 minutes with not being able to accept credit cards. I got zero help over the phone through customer service and basically got told well you can do a wire transfer, you can do a check, ect ect ect. Look the reason i am calling is i want to use a card.

    You would expect any smart business would take your info and at least call you back.

    I got zero help and now I am considering not ever ordering any of their offerings now and forever.

    what a joke!

    yeah i'm aware of current mintages as it's plastered right on their site... my question is what is the cap on bullion sales... as far as a proof cap
    it was a little confusing as they were running the FG and SQ "sale" 5 bucks off promotion... so was that particular "sale" ending or was the
    official "sell" of proofs ending? noticed that provident started listing proofs presale recently... have they got the memo?

    so basically it's still a mystery when the bullion coins will cease being produced?

    on SQ says project ends March 31st... man they sticking w/ this run a long time no? why would you speculate that FQ would end b4 SQ... looks
    like FG will continue being produced well into the spring

    they're gonna run this entire thing right into the dirt is my suspicion

    Noticed that they intend to repeat all medallions each year going forward just with a new year. Limited numbers don't reallly count IMHO knowing this.

    I just received some Slaves Queen BU .....have to say, the finish on these doesn't seem as high a quality as on the others I have and doesn't do the design justice ( I felt a little let down when I saw them actually). Freedom Girl on the other hand came out quite nicely. I wonder if the peeps at SBSS are a getting a little 'random' with the quality control ?

    Keisers showed up as well in that delivery - The finish seemed quite ok on inspection (not mid blowing but adequate).

    At the end of the day, these are BU I guess. Can't expect perfection.

    well i just spoke w/ someone on their site in live chat and got some claification a bit on how proof reflect
    already purchased dealer inventory but got cut off

    and alas there was some confusion regarding whehter the agent could give me actual mintage figures for
    FG even thoug i could see figures on their website... so what are those suppose to reflect?

    ironically on the site... i'ts the Slave girls where i'm NOT seeing any figures so maybe the agent just had
    it backwards.. impossible for me to tell because got cut off at that juncture

    and can't reconnect anyway... it's more fun this way

    ok well it's 12 45 am here on the east coast... march has begun
    and i can still place freedom girl proofs into the check out basket
    not sure if i could check out however

    i do realize that they may be on texas time so i'll have to wait a bit
    but they might also be extending out to the west coast to make sure
    that can get that last proof order in

    if they're selling why buy silver dvds for 20 bucks i have to assume
    that it's pretty damn important to to sell those last 2 or 3 proofs

    now if i'm stil able to put freedom girl proofs into the basket at 3
    in the morning then i'll have to do what i didn't want to do...

    what is that cabaret? what will you have to do you didn't want to do?
    glad you asked... i'll have to start to wonder if by feb 28th they meant
    2014 feb 28th!!!!! :cool:

    oh no he didn't... oh yes he did... he went there... he went there
    stopped for cigaretts and grabed a bag of chips and stayed there is what
    he done did

    but as much as i'm poking fun at all the drama over these medallions
    i've read on all the blogs... i still like them and like what they're doing
    i like the concept... i like the message... i really like the artist heidi
    but execution gets a C minus tops
