perhaps the most retarded idea I've ever had

[New Fag]

Slivers are probably worth more on a per weight ratio, the playable one at least.


Edit: opps wrong guy I wanted @Complete Reprobate 's

Oh, you say 'silver'? Order say 'sliver'! Big mistakey!

 

[the fall of man]

China has a history of production for Silver Pandas, which are generally as advertised. The problem is that they frequently change what is advertised, so one year you’ll get 90% silver and no mintmarks and another year (in response to the market) you’ll get a quite good collectible.

I don’t think you can get a KF print without getting shafted on the run; can we have Niue print coins instead?

I previously posted why China was a bad idea for metals, but let's consider a few points against the UK:

1) It's the UK
2) There is a non-zero chance that whoever choses to do business with you will end up on a fucking watch list or get public flak. Someone will rat us out; they always do. If you get someone who doesn't care or is blissfully ignorant, then that might help, but barring that there's a good chance that they might pull out when they get an angry phone call or worse, the fucking fun police (or real police) show up at their door and give them shit that they don't really deserve. I don't like the idea of some small precious metals artisan with like four centuries of history getting shut down because they did business with an Internet Bad Guy. This is not an issue with China because A) unless we put a picture of Tiananmen Tank Man on the obverse or some shit, China don't care and B) fuck china anyway lol.
3) It's likely going to cost more because it's going to be done right.
4) It's the UK and the silver is going to smell like baked beans and a chippy or some shit.

So yeah. China there's a risk of not getting the right goods, but the UK there's the risk of saddling an otherwise innocent company with the patented "KF" scarlet letters.

Surely there is some prepper in bumfuck Texas or Montana who can strike them in his backyard.

With everything in life: "You Get What You Pay For"

If this has little value, then go Chinese and risk painted Stainless Steel. Everybody needs to check their 'silver' with a magnet upon arrival- lel.
If this has value, then spend the extra cash.

The real question: If this has little value, why not just get poker chips made in China?

 

[thebananaonion]

do you want fake made in china crap or more likely legit stuff from the uk. it's up to what the people want i suppose

 

[Apteryx Owenii]

This actually sounds kinda cool. It'd be like you're a member of some extremely exceptional, not-so-secret org.

I find challenge coins pretty stupid to begin with but having one for a website that makes fun of dumb people is inception levels of autistic

 

[Kosher Dill]

The real question: If this has little value, why not just get poker chips made in China?

Or why not do both? Have some C-Quarters made from real silver in the UK, and W-Quarters made from fake silver or plastic in China.

Would you guys prefer a fancier design like this for the KF side, or just the logo?

I definitely like the fancy kiwi and would buy at least one

 

[waffle]

Null I know I'm late but have you contacted sunshine mint? http://www.sunshinemint.com/Custom-Minting.htm
They are probably the number one people thay do things like this and do it in the USA. The prices they they show publicly are inline with what's shown up in the thread elsewhere,

 

[Bill The Fucker]

I don't think I'd roll the dice on chinesium. I figured the point was to get some investment quality silver with a bit of premium for the site, and I would much rather pay a higher price for peace of mind.

 

[Null]

for my record

 

[Cupronickel]

Would it be possible to put a small serial number (like a US coin's year stamp) on the Kiwi side of the coin? It doesn't have to be pretty, but I'd much prefer it over a measly business card.

Please no. I don't want traceability.
I want a cert mark on the coin - indicating purity and weight - but I don't need a register tracing my purchase to KF.

It would be optional, maybe? Your coin wouldn't have the SN embossed in it, but it'd still be stored in a database.

I love the eternal milk flow one too but translating this made me laugh out loud. I would buy like five of these.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Is there a plan for what size the coin would be, in case we wanted to put it in one of those protective cases?

Something tells me Bob would have like this a lot. Nothing says "be an inspiration to fellow autistic peoples everywhere" than to be minted on a coin like a dead president, with your created work emblazoned on top of the puzzle piece, standing stoically by it.

 

[LaxerBRO]

Standard 1oz cases should do.

 

[Dark Edea]

Looks great! Will definitely buy one.

It will be the size of one of those African tribal lip discs.
