I really like the style of this coin, with the concave surfaces, and the really attractive purple-and-silver pearl-swirl pattern!
The only comments I have are that I really would like to see a version of this with silver band instead of copper, some day! It would be considerably more expensive, but I'd love to see silver with the same purple interior... I know it's unlikely, but I think that would be the ideal combo!
I've also noticed that the bowlerite only seems to be friction-fit within the band, and having it in a pocket or pressing particularly firmly with a thumb can start to shift the insert, resulting in a distinctly felt 'edge' where the two materials are misaligned. It's not hard to shift it back into place, though I do wonder if this might become more of an issue over time.
Put these coins in a treasure chest for my kids to find while at the beach. It was epic.
Fresh coin swapped out, quality is top notch as always! The relief on the design is neat and tidy, and the heft of it in the hand is a delight.
(it won't let me edit the old review!)
What’s not to love. I collect black coins. The design and symbols are fantastic. It’s substantial and works well for EDC. It’s unique. It’s a piece of history that carries special meanings. I’m glad it’s in my collection.
Love the design, size, look, and performance. Went back to purchase the other version too. If you like music and remember or love records, get it.
Wow. Larger than expected. Love the light that shines thru prism-ing off the glitter. Make it in every color!!! Definitely one of my fav pieces from Shire Post Mint. And their customer service is TOP NOTCH!!!
Something so simple has given me such joy! I love flipping this coin between my fingers, using the textured side to grab with my thumb, while the 'smooth' side flows between my fingers. I've been fidgeting with this exclusively, as it's silent and the texture is nice. Great quality and wonderful packaging.
While the purist in me appreciates the muted, grey honesty of the standard Titanium Square Bullion and its functionally-formed kin, this brightly colored tile is a delight to behold. The clever science lab craftsmanship of the Laser Thermochromic Coloring brings a splash of rainbow to the equation of bullion and art. This is the kind of Art that solidifies the "A" in STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics). Nice work, Shire Post Mint!
It's unlikely that you'll use this bronze bowl in an area subject to heavy winds; but if you do, it'll probably stay put beautifully. It is a satisfyingly smooth and heavy object for all the practical applications listed in the description. Additionally, it could be used as an elegant arena for the 1980s classic Spinjas toys (they'll leave marks that you can buff out later if you want). Personally, I've deployed it as a welcoming habitat for the Copper and Silver Orbs. Take heed to the description: these do vary in their thickness. For me that only reinforces the handmade appeal. My only suggestion would be to give it a small maker's mark so that when it's unearthed 2,000 years from now it'll invoke even greater intrigue.
A: Once it's passed through the fabled foundry and skilled hands of the Shire Post Mint.
While a person wouldn't be wrong calling this "a ball of copper," I doubt they'd feel satisfied in the utterance of those words. I believe a ball is best called an orb when you can:
1) easily imagine it cradled by ancient, twisted wood atop a wizard's staff,
2) contemplate the geologic arc of time that carried it from being space dust to resting comfortably in your palm, just by holding it, and
3) occasionally give it a quick sideways glance to ensure it's not levitating
This spherical mass of copper meets all the requisite criteria to be an orb. Plenty of otherwise lovely people likely wouldn't appreciate such an orb...but for those who do, this is The Orb to purchase.
As you can see from the pictures, I receive terrible coins with not a single grain, far from lucky.
I am filled with rage.
I ordered this purple worry stone, but instead received a decision coin with someone else’s name on the inner package. The company resolved the issue and sent me the correct item. Customer service did great!
I bought this coin to infuse the Detroit Lions with luck for their 2024-25 playoff run. So far, so good. If you are reading this in the future and the Detroit Lions are the champions of Super Bowl LIX, then you know this coin has some serious juju, and if not, it’s still a really cool coin! My Shire Post Mint collection is now in the double digits and I love them all! Go SPM and GO LIONS!!!!
The seal is sturdy, detailed, and works great with the magnetic handle.
This small business deserves every ounce of praise. They clearly value their customer, custom packaging personalized to you to enhance your unboxing experience. I have yet to test the coin to see if it fine silver but I have faith and trust. Beautiful necklace and will be a returning customer. Please continue to do what you do. There needs to be more businesses like yours.
Shire does the best! What’s not to love. Nice weighty good feeling coin. Spins well on a table top too!
Love it so much,got my brother one for his birthday.
Anthony, thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure working with you and we thank you for your support.
Love the size and weight, the texture is highly fidgety.
Excellent variants; I have both versions and love them. They go with me everywhere. The writing is universal.
Love the size, weight, width, and feel. It's a constant reminder to live and enjoy life!!
This is my 3rd coffin coin but my 1st silver one. its detail is beaty itself. These coins encapsulates the entire feeling of Momento Mori/Momento Vivre. They are very popular in my lodge.
I really love this coin, I take it on walks and it keeps me focused on moving forward.
I have very acidic hands which have worn the finish off over time. In a particularly stressful situation, I've found my hands to have turned black from the finish. A quick wash solves the issue, but I recommend the unfinished coin if you have the same issue with very acidic hands.
You can seal the coin regularly using wax or oil, and potentially avoid having the finish come off - check out our 'Coin Care Guide' linked from the bottom of our website pages - Glad you like it otherwise.
It is a great little coin,I love watching it spin.I am surprised that no one has thought of this before. The tiny turntable holder is darn cute.
I ended up ordering a number of different coins, but out of all of them this one stood out high above the rest, and honestly I'm eager to be able to order more (at least nine more), when I am able.
The Mayan calendar side of this coin is especially nice, and if it was available I'd probably look at ordering coins where both sides are the calendar, but I believe this is only available in a different finish that I'm not quite as excited about.
Either way, the coin feels amazing in the hand. Good weight (about 30g), good size, nice hard edges that feel satisfying to touch.
I asked for a change in the position of a hole in a necklace to have a Moon hang with the South on top to look as it's seen from Earth's Southern hemisphere.
The interaction with the people in Shire Post Mint was quite pleasant, and the changes were implemented without issue. Overall, a great service.
