Through popular requests I am considering using http://www.coinsforanything.com/samples/page:4/
to add a coin option to my Kickstarter.

I've done a veeeeeery rough mock up of something to show how it could look to get some early comments. Hmmmm? Could be nice...

obviously would be embossed into that brass in reality.

I wouldn't use brass - typically a fishing lure is something shiny and silvery. Plain old stainless steel would look great - and the other side of the coin could have an image of a lure on it!

Coins are pretty popular - I'm guessing it makes for a secondary collection of collectibles. Pro card players use them as a "card guard", a way of indicating to the dealer that the hand is still active and to not touch it. Some use them as indicators of the big blind, little blind and dealer positions on the table in a poker game with a single dealer.

Dead fish on one side and live fish on the other side for the coin. Seems simple enough.. Can we get that purple into the dead fish coin side? Probably not....

Why not? You've never seen a painted coin before? I've seen more than I can shake a stick at...

It's true they can do some pretty incredible things with coinage. Unfortunately every little extra bumps the price on the card guard, may be best to keep it a little simple if offering one at all. I don't know though.

While I do like card guards, I never really see them as must haves. Of course, there are always exceptions but those are obvious. For the fish deck, I think a lure or fishing spoon or whatever it is they use on those catch whatsits on those big fish shows, kind of card guard would be cooler than the typical disc. A big fishing hook would be cool too haha.

Here is the idea for the coins... I have just mocked these up in photoshop for now. I'm in talks with coinsforanything and it wouldn't bump the price up too much. I can add these as an extra reward and if there's enough interest.

I would like to use the ace of spades on one side and the double fish bone logo on the other...

Deck is 28% funded inside the first week. Good start. Thank you so far for the continued support.

Say "double fish bone logo" five times fast.

The AoS and bone fish logo is a good compromise. So you're going with Nickel coin? 1.5, 1.75 or 2" Wish we were on the metric system. They do have Satin Nickel coin for .50 extra.

This will be the chosen set up, the Antique silver finish has a touch more purple hue to the nickel.... I will create these coins, in this finish.....

That looks nice...

I'm really digging on the purple backs.

Squiddle Ink · « **Reply #63 on:** November 22, 2014, 09:13:09 PM »

Thanks dude. The fan has a nice effect too, this is important for some people....

Squiddle Ink · « **Reply #64 on:** November 23, 2014, 04:05:52 AM »

Another snapshot of my rough mock ups all splayed... The backs work both ways...

Paul Daniels has shared my project. He is from my hometown, Wigan and he's looking out for his neighbours with this. Cheers Paul. I always go into his magic shop in Wigan.

Collector Coins are now available - I would like to thank everyone for their responses, its been a great help.

Here is the snippet from project update -

"ANTIQUE SILVER FINISH - DOUBLE SIDED COLLECTOR COIN -

Pledge an additional £11 to obtain one of these beautiful collector coins and send a private message along with this letting me know that you require a coin...
I intend to print 100 of these if we unlock the stretch goal of £6,500 so they are limited but I can adjust numbers depending on responses."

I really like the purple backs, I feel that they really pop.

SOme rough ideas for pips, would this improve the deck. Of course all the fish could be used for the twelve court cards so there's no loss of any detail.
