Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
The quality is unbelievable!
The colours are beautiful. Thank you to make such beautiful things
I love this niobium moon pendant, the purple is stunning and I’m wearing it daily, just beautiful
I really like this necklace! It was a birthday gift for me from myself & I'm very pleased with the purchase. The chain is long enough to go easily over my head without having to bother with the clasp. I don't recall if the description said so, but it doesn't seem to contain any nickel b/c I've experienced zero allergic skin reactions. Many days I'll even wear a shorter necklace along with this one which is not something I've ever done before, in terms of fashion or style. The pendant is very pretty, has texture but very slight & basically feels smooth. It also really resembles the moon upon close inspection, except for the colors (blue & purple) which are very pretty! It's also small & thin & light-weight, so it doesn't weigh on my neck nor does it bang into things nor stand out in any tacky or garish way.
Wonderful and precise. Light yet with strong surface that is not easy to occasionally scratch.
