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.
I love the seal but have 2 suggestions. Would be nice to have a package deal and maybe a this time they have one. Also would like to see the reverse of the original coin as a stamp. To be clear though I am so happy with the product.
After getting all of the coins I had to add this to my collection as well! I love how detailed the seal is. An excellent addition to my stationary!
Great quality coins. I do with the Memento Vivere design would get the wax seal treatment to create a matched set.
Thanks for your feedback! We'll keep that in mind!
buyyyyyy one. Brilliant! Love it. Awesome :-D
I can't give the recipient's review of it yet but I was very pleased with the timeliness of the shipping. The Seal Coin was in a nice little burlap bag. I am sure that the gift will be most appreciated by my future daughter-in-law. This is my first purchase from Shire Post Mint and I hope to find other giftable items here.
