12/03/2017 Update
Over the weekend I assembled all of the replacement coins I received from NWTM, and I finished installing them into their housings this evening. On Monday, after I drill the screw heads out of these bars and clean/polish them, all remaining suites will be complete. I emailed the two people whose sets were completed.
This leaves me free to now devote my time to the rest of you. When I do receive the final batch of coins from NWTM, I will work long days/nights to complete the sets and singles a number of you are still waiting on. And soon I will reveal the details of the error coins you will all be receiving for your patience.
Also, I will soon be able to better communicate with each of you on an individual basis as the number of customers still waiting gets to a smaller, manageable size for me.
I will check in with the mint tomorrow and share a new update as soon as I hear anything. I recall them saying the rest of the coins may be completed this week.
On November 22nd I asked NWTM for any photos or proof-of-life they may have of batch twos progress. They replied:
Hi Max,
You asked me to send you pics of the minted coins last week and I took the photos but forgot to send them to you. Here they are (about 130 of them in the 2nd batch). We mint more than necessary because we always lose some coins to quality control issues and the like. By now these coins no longer look the same and will have been hand masked and gold plated.
and shared the following photos that appear to have been taken with some sort of handmade pinhole camera or something. 😉
