I guess I kinda got a big update to announce.
I received the silver blanks a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised that they where all ready rimmed and look better than I thought they would, I will post a photo of them in the OP.
The stamper was delayed heavily, should have only taken about a week to come to me, but I just received the tracking number for it and I should have it by friday SO on friday I will posting pictures of one finished set (without the engraving) and I expect these to be shipping the 24th the latest.
My time table right now is this:
Receive stamper on February 9th,
have coins stamped and ready to be sent to engraver on the 15th.
Receive coins back from engraver on the 22nd.

Nice looking silver rounds, I hope you use cotton gloves when you touch them... Also will your die have ".999 silver"
It will not,
I have been using pieces of an old tshirt, but I do not think that the guy at the machine shop is gonna wear cotton gloves but I can certainly request it lol

Sounds cool!
Update us with some pictures once you have it.
Are you planning on making a test portotype at first, or you are just going to mint them all at once?
Either ways, the Dies look neat, and I hope the design and the stamping machine is quality enough.
Its going to be stamped with a 60 ton hydraulic press, which to my understanding presses it in, when it reality it should be quickly struck to leave the design. But I am hoping since silver is malleable, that I made my design thick enough and that it will come out looking good
