In Cryptocoins I Trust

A simpler design based on your recommendations, I actually like this one the best so far: Wink

Also, notice that because I'm not making this in a 3D modeling program, my coin probably will not look as nice as the coin you guys posted earlier as an example.

After it's in its true form on a coin it will look similar... it won't actually be as colorful as this. The people making the coins will do the 3d stuff for me, I just need to give them some guidelines of a design to work off of.

Man, it almost seems like I'm never going to come up with a design that everyone likes :\

To get these made will be thousands and thousands of dollars, so I need something most people will like so I can sell a few and don't waste a lot of money.

So you guys want something that looks.. for lack of better words.. more like a coin?

Ok, back to the drawing board...

fiat coins are well made in fact. Also, we are in a world where minimalist designs prevail.

You will get it right, you just want something sharp and plain, something that when you look at you say "oh its neat" and you were able to read it all with a split second glimpse.

Just put a nicely engraved LITECOIN on top,
and something nioce & clever in the bottom.

Also on the round side you can see that the coins have ones and zeross Cool

side etch is very neat but extremely expensive (north american coins don't have it for that reason)

how about these ones? i found that pic on reddit..

These I would pay for - the other designs need more work, and don't look "professional" enough. We just need a simple, modern clean design - as this photo above shows.

Keep revising those other designs, less is more when it comes to coins. The BTC Cass coins are very well done, and doing a similar style would be great.

obviously those look good but need slight but added branding. (Similar to last sketch)

You really want most if not all lettering closer to the edge, small, non-numerical and following the edge (sorry, the word to describe thus currently eludes me, but "rounded, not straight")

Also, concerning silver coins, that would be great and personally I'd pay 2-3$ more per 1oz if it was ltc, I'd buy a lot too, and I guess that price premium seems fair, so you could calculate your margin of that price. (I'll also strictly say at 4$ premium per oz, it becomes too much of a bad investment)

NFC chip in them would be so great too (obviously not the silver ones because of the smelting mess)

Thanks for the advice.

Are these any better? I feel like they're getting worse and worse lol.. and no ones hardly giving me any feed back, so that makes me think that they are all really horrible! Undecided

The first ones were too clustered and made them look too cartoon-y thus giving a fisher price look. These ones are much better (the right one). Maybe don't go that descriptive (anonymous decdntrilazed p2p), maybe just decentrallized cryptocurrency?

Do you guys like these better? They're a little simpler.

I like the 2nd.

Thanks. I've been trying to add a little more to the design so it doesn't seem like I just copy and pasted the LTC logo.

I wanted to give the design my own touch. But, if everyone just wants something really simple, then that works works for me I guess.

1 OZ Silver?

I was thinking of carrying both a 1 OZ silver coin and a cheaper nickel plated version.

The 1 OZ silver coins would only be available in certain denominations (at least starting out... this stuff is expensive to make.)

Also, the 1 Oz silver coins may not be ready at launch as I might not have the funding for it... nickel plated is much cheaper.

Love the idea. Get rid of the tiny lettering inside the design (five ltc, ten ltc,etc), make it the normal solid grey/silver litecoin logo. increase the whitespace around the outside of the coin, and put your value and lettering there.

Good stuff bud, will be watching and picking some up.

Thank you for your suggestions. I am definitely interested what you guys think of the designs, as I want everyone to like them.

Cheers,

Ch

Any idea on mint cost +spot? Shipping? Looks like a helluva idea. Wink

I'm just sort of gauging interest- I'm only just now completing the designs, the pictures I posted are somewhat of a rough draft.

I'll have a better idea on costs soon and shipping would be from the US.
