I have two concerns about that posting. 1) Current pricing on the coins is $5, not $7.50. 2) Current international shipping is $1.15. |

If the proper people (the PM or the MinFin) want to make those policy changes, that's fine. But they would have to inform me that they're making them, since I'm the person in physical custody of the coins, who operates the account that receives and processes the orders, and who packs and ships them. The MinStuff can't make those changes, particularly by the mechanism of posting to a random message board not related to Talossa. The only reasonable interpretation of his post is that it was erroneous. (I might also mention that I'm not ecstatic that an action was taken to drum up more work for me without telling me in advance. But any person could point out the availability of the coins on any forum that they like, so I didn't bring it up as a concern. I'm just pointing out the post was inaccurate.) |

As far as the size/weight/composition that the follow-up post in that thread asked about: The coins were minted by Osborne Coinage at 1.125" in "Goldine", a shiny golden brass. That's approximately 28.5mm, and per www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v15n12a18.html goldine is 67% copper, 33% zinc. Weight is 9 grams according to my digital kitchen scale; the scale is clearly labeled NOT FOR TRADE, has not been calibrated since it was manufactured, and has been (for example) dropped a few times, so that should be taken as a rough approximation. |

Oops, the forum I posted to is not particularly huge so I wasn't expecting that this would create a lot more work for you. |

And there hasn't been (which on net is unfortunate), so certainly no worries. And because of this, I checked the PayPal account, and discovered an order made by someone on November 28 that got spam-filtered by my email system, and accordingly now can take care of it. So, this was serendipitously helpful. |
