Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review — this kind of feedback is genuinely invaluable to us. 😊
You make some excellent points, and I'd love to address them directly.
On the level of detail
I completely understand where you're coming from. The Imperium of Man coin was designed with a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic to reflect the iconic Imperial Aquila and Terra's planetary insignia — a more ceremonial, commemorative feel rather than the intricate battle-worn look of some other pieces. That said, your point is well taken, and I'll be sure to pass this feedback along to our design team. We're always looking to push the level of detail in our products, and reviews like yours help us do exactly that.
On the aging and clear coat
This is a really interesting perspective — and I appreciate you sharing your process! The clear coat is applied intentionally to protect the brass finish and prevent premature oxidation, as we find most collectors prefer their coins to stay looking 'as new' for as long as possible. But I absolutely love that you took the initiative to custom-age yours with liver of sulphur and vinegar — that's dedication to the craft, and it sounds like you've created something truly unique. 🙌
On the weight and use case
Using it as a binary dice / coin flip is a fantastic idea. The weight (33g) does give it a satisfying heft, and I can see how that would make each flip feel more deliberate. If you ever decide to pick up more pieces, I'd be curious to hear how they hold up to your coin-flipping needs!
Final thought
You said it's 'almost perfect' — and honestly, that's a compliment we don't take lightly. Knowing that you'd still buy other stuff from us despite the minor tweaks you'd make tells us we're on the right track.
If you ever have photos of your aged coin, we'd love to see them — and if there's anything else we can help with, just let us know.
