Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
The seal is sturdy, detailed, and works great with the magnetic handle.
I love the seal but have 2 suggestions. Would be nice to have a package deal and maybe a this time they have one. Also would like to see the reverse of the original coin as a stamp. To be clear though I am so happy with the product.
After getting all of the coins I had to add this to my collection as well! I love how detailed the seal is. An excellent addition to my stationary!
Great quality coins. I do with the Memento Vivere design would get the wax seal treatment to create a matched set.
Thanks for your feedback! We'll keep that in mind!
