Aw yeah!  Smiley

Given that the 3d model is quite complicated, I wonder, did you design the model yourself, or had someone else do it?

The cost of one of these is per machine hour, it costs about 50 dollars per hour, the piece in total took about 7 to 8 hours. It really is a unique and very exclusive item.

That makes sense. Sheet metal is not cheap, and it's usually machined in rectangles (from my experience) - but since this is truly a 3D item, I guess you needed to look hard for a place that deals with large blocks of aluminum. By the way - what are they doing when they are not manufacturing exotics like this?

the model is a coin design that is widely used. MJM did this design and many have used it. this one has some changes though with adding of the forum and forum account name and the difference of text in the box on the back.

I have used the same design to 3d print similar looking rounds.

Exactly, the modeling he created is perfect.

That is one heck of a coin for sure!  That would look great hanging on anyones wall!

 Great job...and also goodluck with your sale if you ever do sell.


It was really beautiful. I don't think about selling this one... maybe if they pay 1 Bitcoin for it I can think about it lol  Grin Grin... thanks for commenting
