We are saving quite a chunk by using the reverse die from here on out. Same design as last year. It is now an official logo of sorts. There will be NO sculpting or engraving fees for the reverse. It does not matter how many types of metal we use with the 38mm dies as nothing changes except the metal blanks. Now we do pay extra for the 63mm pewter medallions but we will also keep the same reverse on them so, if I remember correctly we will eliminate about $600 by keeping those same reverses. The reason we offer silver, copper and antiqued copper is to have a variety of options that will fit most pocketbooks. If we strike silver only the cost would rise substancially due to the lower amount of medals struck. We need the variety to raise the extra funds for this project. And, I might mention many members by an example of each which helps us with an anticipated 160 medallions to make the project feasable and affordable to most of us.
Gary if you would please make contact with Daniel to see if he has indeed started the medallion quest. That should be our first move at this time. Our second move should be a new cost estimate as precious metals have gone up.
I would also like to point out that prices will be fixed or locked, which ever you see fit to call it as it is imperative that we break even on this project. Should know more soon.
