For those who don't follow Max's blog about the Moon Series (
http://kialara.com/moon-production-updates/), here is a small update on the production:
04/24/2017 UpdateThe steel housing samples (from my overseas supplier) have been completed and approved, so production is underway.

The coins are complete minus the gold electroplating and color fill and I think Ill have photos of those to share by Friday or sooner along with the holograms. Things are all coming together. Thanks everyone for your patience with this project.

04/27/2017 UpdateThe mint informed me that if I do gold plating, that the rim of the coin must be gold also. The only option to keep the rim silver would be to hand-paint the gold B, and I didnt want that, so I asked that they proceed and plate the rim too. They sent a photo today of the gold and Im really happy with it. Youll see two of the colors have been added, with white and blue remaining.

Furthermore, my US manufacturer informed me that they are close to completing the housing sample I ordered from them, and both the glass and holograms have shipped.
Have a good weekend everyone, Ill report back next week with photos of the holograms and any other news I have.
