2019 Medallion Quest?

[Bigjpst]

I agree with the others maybe a slit in the dress and her left hand on her hip looking coy.

[Cheezhed]

Love the idea!

[Gluggo]

Okay now were making progress.
Let me throw a twist in this and you might hate me for this but but but   How about some of the great ideas you all did in 2016 with the special finishes. 

You all were here know them the

“MS Color” = Color-Toned Satin finish.
“PL Color” = Color-Toned polished finish.
“MS Plate” = Selective Plating (gold/rhodium) on satin finish.
“PL Plate” = Selective Plating (gold/rhodium) on polished finish.
“AN Plate” = Selective Plating (gold/rhodium) on antiqued finish.


I tried to post a picture but was not successful.

[Gluggo]

Okay my 2nd try hope this work.

Its suppose to be one of the Rhodium enlayed coins from 2016.  Some of the few will recognize it and I know it was a added cost.


But it sure looks pretty!

[Cheezhed]

That finish sure does look nice.

[GrandAm]

It is almost October,,,,, are 2019 Medals coming?

[Dwhiz]

It's October

[Gluggo]

In 60+ days we will know.

[Cheezhed]

I'm in!

[D. Carr]

Got sidetracked on some other things for a while.
But here is a new (revised) sketch:

[CA Collector]

Dan, will we be placing our orders on your Moonlight Mint website?

If the medals (and pricing) are similar to 2018, I'm in for one of each medal.

[D. Carr]

Dan, will we be placing our orders on your Moonlight Mint website?

If the medals (and pricing) are similar to 2018, I'm in for one of each medal.

Yes, ordering will be from my web site. But that won't start until I am about ready to start striking.

[AKbeez]

Uh-oh ... is Mrs. Carr on the review board?  Not much change other than a dress slit to address the x factor... at least some nice cleavage would boost-eair her (and sales)?   
No matter -- anxious to see some product!

[Cheezhed]

I'm in.

[SilverFan]

I like the toad stool for the toad/frog.  I also like the caldron.  Not sure I like the location of the slit in the dress.  I think having it is a good idea but it may be too far over to the right?  The cleavage also seems a little off.  Maybe removing or diminishing the underline on her left breast or enhancing it on her right breast. I am in regardless. 

[Mackinac]

Maybe a design on the cauldron. Perhaps a design on her dress? Feedback welcomed.

[Dwhiz]

frog a little froggier https://www.toytent.com/Characters/6260.html

[Cheezhed]

Getting excited

[D. Carr]

My idea was to have a toad rather than a frog. But not just an ordinary toad - a freakish malformed toad.
A design on the cauldron and dress are possible and I will do something with that.

Inevitably, there will be subtle changes and refinements as the sketch is converted into a 3-D digital sculpture.

[Cheezhed]

I'm giving you encouragement Dan!

[D. Carr]

Some sculpting progress ... doing the hardest part first:

[Cheezhed]

Love it. Possible necklace/choker?

[D. Carr]

It might not seem like this would take almost a full day of work, but here are some refinements (mostly to the face). Tweaking small details like this can take a long time. I tried a necklace or "choker", but with the hair the way it is I preferred the look with a belt instead:

[Cheezhed]

Okay thank you for the hard work and effort Dan. 

[HOOT Owl]

Like the slit, the star belt and the moon on the hat...looking good.

[AKbeez]

Nice work Mr. Dan!  More cleavage would be fantastic but understand the work that goes into this -- love the face!  Keep her sultry... 

[SilverFan]

I like where this is going!

[D. Carr]

Here it is with different surface finishes (matte, brilliant satin, proof-like):

[HOOT Owl]

Too cool Mr. Dan, great job....

[Cheezhed]

Lovely. I'll take one of each.

[MattTheRiley]

Very nice! What are the ordering options (finish, size, etc.) looking like?

[AKbeez]

Wowza - if she (and stars) comes out in DCAM on that proof, will be STUNNING!

[HOOT Owl]

I counted 127 Stars.....

[D. Carr]

I counted 127 Stars.....

I actually did not count them as I was sculpting. Does the 127 include the star on her belt ?

[HOOT Owl]

Forgot that one ….128....

[D. Carr]

Considering possible product options, here are some thoughts:

The 2016 (Merlin) design was a medium-height sunken-relief. Everything was below the fields, which created convenient "compartments" for selective (color) plating. That also made it convenient for the holographic effect to be applied to the fields (because the fields were the highest areas on the struck medals).

The 2019 design will be generally higher relief than 2016. I think the relief height will be too much for a sunken-relief style. Based on my renderings and other considerations, I believe the best look for this year's design will be the standard high relief (not sunken) in cameo proof-like. That would not work very well with selective plating. So I do not plan to do any plating this year. I do not yet know whether holographic effects could be applied, but it is possible.

Due to the relatively high-relief, and the difficulties I had with striking the 2017 50mm bi-metallic medals, I don't think that is a viable option this year.

Earlier this year I had success in striking high-relief 50mm medals by using relatively-thick 100-gram 999 silver blanks. So for this year I suggest limiting the 50mm issue to 100-gram 999 silver in cameo proof-like. Here is what I produced in that format earlier this year: http://www.dc-coin.com/coloradogoldrushsesquicentennialpioneergold1troyoz999satinfinish-1-1-1-3-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1.aspx .

Other options still in consideration for the 39mm medals:  copper, brass, silver;  matte, brilliant satin, cameo proof-like;  standard (as struck finish); color-toned; antiqued.

[AKbeez]

So you are thinking striking these on 100-gram silver blanks?  AWESOME!  So just how do you add the holographic effects?  Is it some type of coating pre or post striking?

[D. Carr]

So you are thinking striking these on 100-gram silver blanks?  AWESOME!  So just how do you add the holographic effects?  Is it some type of coating pre or post striking?

Yes, as planned the 50mm version will come only as a 100-gram 999 silver cameo proof-like.

Some hologram coins on the market are just ordinary coins with holographic stickers on them.

The 2016 KotCT holographic effect was created by burnishing a holographic nickel shim up against each medal (post-strike).
The tiny grooves and ridges in the hard nickel shim (which form the holographic effect) are transferred onto the medal effectively "printing" the hologram effect there.
There is no "coating" at all. There is nothing there but the pure metal.

[TKO]

You da-man Dan!

Never do you cease to amaze me.

[Kudbegud]

Nice work Dan. Thanks for all your effort.  Lots of options too.  I'm all in for these. 

[Cheezhed]

Looking forward to the 100 gram option.

[SilverFan]

Thanks Daniel! So how can I order?

[MattTheRiley]

I like the Cameo proof, a lot.  I think we should do a 1oz 39mm Silver and the 100g 50mm silver.  Either with or without the holographic option.  Keep it simple.

[Kittlecoins]

Looking good Dan, great work... I just hope I don't miss the order window when you're ready to list these.

Fun stuff!!

[Work4coins]

WoW!  Looks amazing Dan!  I love the look of the proof like medal!

[D. Carr]

The dies are engraved and heat-treated (hardened).
They would still need to be polished for proof-like strikes.
But they are presently in a suitable state for brilliant satin strikes.

So I think it is time to start taking orders.
It is hard to know what will look best until some are actually minted, but a decision first has to be made on what varieties will be available.
Based on prior production results, these are the options that I intend to offer and the cost for each:

[BB] 39mm brass brilliant-satin: $15.
[BA] 39mm brass antiqued: $30.

[CP] 39mm copper proof-like (un-toned): $15.
[CT] 39mm copper proof-like (color-toned): $25.

[SS] 39mm 999 silver brilliant-satin (1 troy oz): $35.
[SP] 39mm 999 silver proof-like (1 troy oz): $40.

[SL] 50mm 999 silver proof-like (100 grams): $90.

HOW TO ORDER:

First decide what medal(s) and how many of each to order.
Calculate the total amount and add $10 for shipping (flat rate, regardless of order quantity and shipping location).
Go to this product page on my web site:
http://www.dc-coin.com/2001apolloastronautlargebronzemodelproof-1-1.aspx
Place in your cart a quantity that matches the dollar amount of your order (for example, put a quantity of 110 in your cart if your order total is $110 with shipping).
In the "Customer Notes" section of the order, first write your KotCT ID.
Then write the quantity of each medal to order, using the two-letter code for each option listed above. For example, like this: "5-BB, 3-SL".
Lastly, check out with your shopping cart. You will be given payment options of: credit card; PayPal; mailed check.

I expect the ordering window to last a few weeks, at least.
So you can take some time to decide what to order.
To keep things simple, I request that all Knights place only one order for all the medals they want.

[SilverFan]

Just placed my order no problem, but forgot to include my KOTCT username.  Daniel: Can I email it to you? 

[Kudbegud]

Thank you Dan. My order is in.  All is well in my world. 

[TKO]

  Got my order in!

I tried using a debit card that my employer gave be for Christmas and it didn't have an address associated with it and was declined. Thank God for Discover Cards!!

TKOâ,,¢

[AKbeez]

Thanks Mr. Danny Clause!     Any chance of a sneak peek at some before ordering is over?

[D. Carr]

Thanks Mr. Danny Clause!     Any chance of a sneak peek at some before ordering is over?

I will probably wait for the final order totals before I make any. That way, I only have to set up and make one production run. The best indicator of how they will look is the past KotCT medals.

[Bigjpst]

Got my order placed! Thanks!

[Felinfoel]

Placed my order.

Thank you, Dan!! 

[Cheezhed]

Just saw this I will be ordering.

[Cheezhed]

I think I did it right.

[MattTheRiley]

Done!

[Zoins]

Glad this has made it this far! What a great experience to see and be a part of this!

Something Dan and I discussed last year was whether we wanted to have a special "Knights Minting Day" at the Moonlight Mint where the Knights visit the Mint while the medallions are struck? Is that something that is worth considering this time around?

[Oih82w8]

"Knights Minting Day" would be so cool! ...with advance notice I would hope!

[Kittlecoins]

Just put in my order... very easy to do and thank you again Dan for helping with this and making it so easy through your website. 

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!!!

Mike

[Oih82w8]

Placed my order.

Thank you Dan Carr for your talent! 

Merry Christmas to all of the KotCT Knights and their families, both immediate and extended! 

[Zoins]

I had a quick chat with Dan regarding the "Knights Minting Day" which might be possible from Jan 17-20. How does that sound to everyone? We could all converge on the Moonlight Mint to share and be merry

[D. Carr]

I had initially hoped to strike the medals during the calendar year 2019. But that doesn't leave much time for ordering. So 17-20 January seems reasonable. I expect to do only one production run for all medals - proof-like first followed by satin immediately after (same day). If any Knights wanted to attend the striking, that would be possible. Note, however, that January weather at this particular location here in Colorado can be highly variable - everything from dry and 60 degrees to extreme blizzard conditions and/or below-zero (Farenheit) temperatures. Deep snowfalls are generally uncommon in January (late Fall and early Spring is when we tend to get more snowfall).

[Zoins]

Great info Dan. How much time should we allocate for the striking?

How does everyone's calendar look for Jan 17-20? What days work the best for those that can attend?

[AKbeez]

 As a newp, I'm at the mercy of the Order of Knights for recognition...  Would LOVE to attend, but likely a stretch for me to attend from Alaska, but will keep it in mind if I can do. Maybe someone can be my proxy for any "special" Knight strikes??

[D. Carr]

Great info Dan. How much time should we allocate for the striking?

How does everyone's calendar look for Jan 17-20? What days work the best for those that can attend?

If I make all the blanks ahead of time and get everything ready, only one day would be needed for the actual striking.
The prep work leading up to that will take a couple days, probably.

[Zoins]

As a newp, I'm at the mercy of the Order of Knights for recognition...  Would LOVE to attend, but likely a stretch for me to attend from Alaska, but will keep it in mind if I can do. Maybe someone can be my proxy for any "special" Knight strikes??

I'm a huge fan of Alaska and loved visiting in the winter in the past! Good to know we have an outpost there.

Regarding "special" strikes, I wouldn't want to create a situation that was unfair to Knights who couldn't attend so I wasn't thinking of having any "special" strikes, but I have seen that some clubs do allow attendees to have special strikes made and know it can be fun. Perhaps there's a way to do this which is fair to everyone, like you allude to, but that would be for everyone to decide.

Some options that could be interesting would be to have overstrikes of coins like Dan's Moonlight Mint Open House tokens, errors, or mules of previous years dies if they are available. One thing to consider is any additional work needed to do extra pieces.

For fairness, one option could be to strike extra pieces to distribute to everyone that couldn't attend. There could be a cap on special pieces per Knight (to take away) and having enough made for non-attending Knights. Any extra pieces not distributed to other Knights on a quota basis, could be auctioned to members with the proceeds going to The Castle.

Again, this isn't something I personally think is necessary, but could be fun and would need to be done in a fair way, if done at all.

[Kena]

You also have members who are outside of the United States who can't even consider travel to the States. 

SirSta¢ksALot is actually helping me source my club medal since it would be unfair to D. Carr to go thru what I found to be trick to ensure that my medal arrives safe and sound to me in England.   Seems that I have bad luck if the item is coming from the States with a business name on sender's address - those tend to get nicked while if the item comes from a non-business name on the sender's address with gift marked on the customs form, the item arrive safe and sound.

Other funny thing, is that if you want to post coins in the post over here, you get told that you are not allowed to send coins thru the post to which I say, how come you have not stopped the UK Royal Mint from sending coins thru the post.  Hence, if anyone ever receives a package from me, the description on the customs form is medallions.

[Zoins]

Of course, a more important topic for the Knights Minting Day is who can make it

Is this a possibility for anyone?

Sorry Knights, I wasn't trying to illicit something unfair -- but do believe that anyone able to attend the MM courtesy of Master Dan should reap some special souvenir of the visit.  Could be nothing more than a simple strike-over of an existing medal OR photo opp!  I relinquish any proxy to this effect unless able to attend.  Yes, world-wide knights may also be at a disadvantage, but what can you do?
Thank You Zoins for trying to pull this together!  -AK

[Cheezhed]

I can’t afford it or get time off.

[Gluggo]

I got my order in. Wish I could go cause from Alaska just a hope skip and jump down to Colorado.  I think we even got a direct flight down.  I use to fly there to visit my daughter.  But gotta work.  In fact I am leaving 300 hours on my Vacation accumulated hours saved for this year cause to busy to take time off.  I will loose half of it on January 1st.  Hope the company appreciates what I do but somehow Zi think I am the fool!  Man I wonder if I can make it?  Hmmmm I might look into it I got about 7 days to decide. 
What city is Dan in?

[Gluggo]

Okay ITS OFFICIAL I am coming down in January 17th thru the 20th right?  Anyways I booked my flight from Kenai Alaska and will be there to learn, absorb and snap bunches of pictures to share back with everybody here!  Look forward to meeting those that can attend.  Boy I hope I got the dates right better double check but I think I am good.  I just have to find a good hotel in Loveland at least that is where I believe we will be at!  Glen aka Gluggo

[CA Collector]

...I just have to find a good hotel in Loveland at least that is where I believe we will be at!  Glen aka Gluggo

There are several good hotels in Loveland near the interchange of I-25 & Highway 34 (Eisenhower Blvd).

I lived in Loveland 2008 - 2016. When my relatives visited, IIRC they stayed at The Residence Inn by Marriott: https://bookings.mapquest.com/hotels/hotel/?hotel_id=700221109&refclickid=infosheet_checkavail_name&refid=5101&check_in=12%2F29%2F2019&check_out=12%2F30%2F2019

That's my only hotel experience in Loveland.

If I make it to the Knights Minting Day, I'll want to try the Courtyard by Marriott that opened in Loveland earlier this year: https://bookings.mapquest.com/hotels/hotel/?hotel_id=702887160&refclickid=infosheet_checkavail_name&refid=5101&check_in=12%2F29%2F2019&check_out=12%2F30%2F2019

Depending on the weather & time of day, driving on I-25 is typically reliable. But if there's an accident you might have significant delays. For that reason, the night before departure I'd stay at a hotel near Denver Airport -- especially if you have a morning flight.

[Gluggo]

Thank you CA Collector I will remember staying at a hotel near the airport.  My plane leaves 7 am so I might just drive late on the 20th and just hang out in the Airport or find a room around the hotel late that night.  But I am looking into the 2 hotels you posted that will help alot. 

I wonder if the car rentals put studs on their tires like mine has.  I imagine a good siped tires will do the trick!  Maybe a 4 wheel drive rental?  Ohhhh geeeez there goes my budget!

[CA Collector]

Gluggo, worst case scenario, if Denver road conditions get really terrible, you won't need studs because they'd temporarily close the major highways. Like this: https://www.thedenverchannel.com/traffic/traffic-news/most-of-colorados-major-highways-including-i-25-and-i-70-back-open-after-blizzard-cleanup

More than likely, you'll be fine in a Camry or other FWD rental with all-season tires.

Just keep an eye on the weather forecasts and road conditions: https://www.cotrip.org/home.htm

[D. Carr]

I have not stayed at any hotels in Loveland. The closest hotel to me, and the newest hotel in the Loveland Colorado area, is the Marriott TownePlace Suites (256 East 2nd Street):
https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ftcts-towneplace-suites-loveland-fort-collins/?scid=45f93f1b-bd77-45c9-8dab-83b6a417f6fe
It looks nice from the outside and it is close to the old Loveland downtown area.

[D. Carr]

To be fair to all the Knights I prefer to refrain from making "special" strikes of KotCT medals and I plan to stick to the ordered varieties only.

However, every year I prepare a pair of "Moonlight Mint Open House" dies to use when I have visitors. The 2019 dies have an Apollo 11 theme (due to the 50th anniversary this year).
I have not yet decided on what to use for 2020, but I will come up with something. Visitors can have up to five items of their choice struck with the Open House dies. The items over-struck can include US and Foreign coins, medals, tokens, etc. The items over-struck must be a suitable diameter (usually about 25mm to about 40mm) and not too thick or too thin. Coated, colored, painted or anodized items are not acceptable. Any material that is too hard is also not acceptable for obvious reasons.

[D. Carr]

Okay ITS OFFICIAL I am coming down in January 17th thru the 20th right?  Anyways I booked my flight from Kenai Alaska and will be there to learn, absorb and snap bunches of pictures to share back with everybody here!  Look forward to meeting those that can attend.  Boy I hope I got the dates right better double check but I think I am good.  I just have to find a good hotel in Loveland at least that is where I believe we will be at!  Glen aka Gluggo

At this point I am not sure what date the actual striking will occur on. But it will be one of the days in that range (17-20 January, whichever day the most Knights are attending).

Saturday or Sunday should be good for me! It seems like we may only need one day for this so while 17-20 January was given as a range of possibility, we should settle on one day to meet.

[Gluggo]

Saturday or Sunday is good with me so what ever day you and Dan decide I will be there.   

[CA Collector]

Hey Gluggo, regarding your question about studded tires: Don't confuse the City of Loveland with the Loveland Ski Area.

They are about 100 miles apart: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Loveland,+Colorado/Loveland+Ski+Area,+I-70,+Dillon,+CO+80435/@40.0375494,-105.9989595,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x87694fa609de9417:0x55bf9b6c43f23c8d!2m2!1d-105.0749801!2d40.3977612!1m5!1m1!1s0x876a51ebd8046e0d:0x2647195b79bedce8!2m2!1d-105.8979465!2d39.6800375!3e0

And the Loveland Ski Area has a base elevation of 10,400 feet -- which might've prompted your interest in studded tires. That's what got me thinking you might be looking at the wrong area for the Moonlight Mint.

[Gluggo]

Thank you CA Collector I plugged in those hotels you posted.  I will pick one of them.  Dan posted one close to his area if the price is reasonable will probably stay there.  I looked online and it’s about 50 or so miles from the airport.  Got an IPhone and will use google map or the like to direct me.  But looks simple a few major highways looks like north west I should be good.  We got about 3 inches of snow yesterday and expecting more today.  Love driving on snow here it’s the Black Ice that scares me the most. 

[CA Collector]

Do yourself a favor: Take the E-470 toll road North to I-25. https://i.imgur.com/L1DqrZl.jpg

It's the easiest quickest safest route to I-25 northbound to Loveland.

Toll payment is handled electronically thru your rental car agency... scroll down to "Rental Car Tolls Billed Through Rental Car Agency": https://www.e-470.com/Pages/HowE470Works/Rental-Cars.aspx

Alternatively, there are toll-free surface roads (via Tower Road) that'll get you to I-25. But I don't recommend that if it's nighttime, you're unfamiliar with the area, the weather's bad, you're tired, and/or you just want to get to your hotel quickly.

Definitely avoid the heavy-traffic I-70/270 route.

Okay I booked a room here and secured a rental car.  I am offering rides if you think might want to come I will give any person a ride if they need one.  😀

[Mackinac]

Mr. Carr, do you have a specific date in mind when all orders need to be in by? I am planning on placing an order but do not want to miss the window. Thank you

[SilverFan]

For those going to the Moonlight Mint for the actual striking, please make sure all the medals I ordered are perfect 70s. 😉 Thanks! SilverFan 😂

[Gluggo]

You got it Silverfan!  Maybe I can snap photos of all your’s going through the different step of development.  I really have no idea of the stamping process so it will be fun to watch it.  I will be making little videos if Dan will let me on how he does it.   . Then up-load to here for you all to see.  Well photos for sure I do not have much experience in uploading videos. 

[D. Carr]

Mr. Carr, do you have a specific date in mind when all orders need to be in by? I am planning on placing an order but do not want to miss the window. Thank you

Order deadline is end of the day 15 January.

[Dwhiz]

As we await the 2019 items. I thought I would try and find 50 mm holder and larger. My normal guy doesn't bother with them any more. I found some.
Note no original COA were damaged.

[Dwhiz]

also on those holder I order Dec 6th and they arrived Dec.27th

[D. Carr]

I haven't made any yet, but the 2019 50mm medals will be quite thick. So I'm not sure what holders they will fit in.

[Kudbegud]

also on those holder I order Dec 6th and they arrived Dec.27th

Would you post the source please ?

Here is what I use that I buy from the Wizard Coin Supply.  There the 2 x 2 snaps but after you go past 43MM they come in the larger 2.5 x 2.5 snaps and are much thicker.  I snapped a picture with some of dans past coins but took the front cover off since I getter a better picture that way.

Just a heads-up for those attending the Open House...

At The Ranch in Loveland Jan 17 - 19 is the 2020 Big Thunder Draft Horse Show: http://www.treventscomplex.com/events/big-thunder

That is, things might be a bit busier than usual in Loveland that weekend.

[Oih82w8]

Today, end of day, is the deadline for the KotCT Medals for 2019!  I am really looking forward to these!
