They look great! Are they made of copper? I  like the center one in the top row best. How much $?

Kurt -

Are these all from the same die? The lighting seems different, so I was trying to sort out why.

Remember to contact me on these.

Good persistent work, Kurt!

Nice! I agree with Chuck...top center looks best.

[d. ward]

top center looks original to me...Those are great and as mentioned will be far better then not haveing a coin in your 1959.They look good Kurt fine job and well done...bd

[kurtbel5]

Hah hah,  Top center is the original, No can have.

I think they will look better once they get a patina, you will get more definition, as they darken.

Ray,
I think it a combo of the lighting and the variation in the stamping process.

One of the things I'm going to ask, is to use a heavier stamp say 100 ton instead of a 50 ton. Might help bring some more definition out.

Center bottom is one I wiped with a copper cleaner

Will they be available in all years or just for the 59. They look great! Thanks for your hard work.   Mike

Good work! They look good. I wonder if there is anyway to speed the aging process. Chemicals, artificial oxidation by electricity, etc..

I have a 1959 Grizzly hopefully in the mail right now coming my way with the wrong coin in. I would be interested in buying one. How much again?

Nice looking coins. Those couldn't have come at a better time for me. I just got a 59 that needs one. I sent you a PM Kurt.

I have a 60 Kodiak Deluxe that is starting to miss that little jewel in the center top row of the photo.  

Don't get it mixed up with those fakes    

It would be easy to do, Great Job Kurt

[ckruse]

What's the price going to be? Is it secret    Let us know, CKruse

Nice job on the coins,they look fantastic.I just had a thought I would like to throw out here for those guys wanting to change the coins in their '59 Grizzly's.If the coin is a flat bear nickel coin,that could be the correct coin for that bow.I don't have any 59-60 Grizzly's currently other than that one I recently aquired with no coin or hole for one so nothing to compare to.But '59 Grizzly's I've owned in the past seemed to have a nickel coin instead of copper.Feel free to jump in here and correct me if my memory fails me(wouldn't be the first time)but I'd hate to see you guys with original nickel coins in your '59's change them out to copper.

About a year ago I looked at an aftermarket copper coin that wasnt near as nice as these and the asking price for that coin was $25.00

I havent been able to find any originals to check prices on them.  Anybody have an idea what an original "typically" sells for?

At any rate, the price of originals may have just dropped a little
