The evolution of Coincide...

Hey all...

Wanted to pop in and share a video and a story. Jason just released his first full length video about the Relativity Coin. As someone that is trying to learn 3D software, it's kind of mind blowing, especially considering he's been teaching himself as he goes.

The Relativity Coin

The story of Coincide

I had quite a few questions last week about Coincide and my involvement. My intention was to break it down in a different update because I didn't want to take away from the launch of the project so here's the skinny...

A couple of years ago, Jason and I were chatting about a project he was working on. It was this really amazing sounding something or other (he still may create it so don't want to reveal) that was designed around the Fibonacci sequence. I'd heard of said sequence but didn't quite understand it so he broke it down for me. I immediately wanted to create a coin and I knew he was the man to collaborate with. You know the rest of that story. During the campaign we thought, "why limit this to one coin?" and started brainstorming different coin ideas. This evolved into the 7 coin series (and then some) you've heard us speak about which was really exciting. The only issue I had was that it was starting to shift away from the J. L. Lawson & Co. branding into something of its own so I wasn't sure how we would incorporate it. We then came up with the concept of Coincide as a partnership and a totally new brand. At the time, it seemed doable for me but, after the Platonic Coin was finished, I realized it would be really challenging for me to handle both companies so we were at a crossroad. I didn't want to limit Jason with my timeframe so I suggested the idea of starting the brand on his own and, after a bit of encouragement, Coincide was born. 

We both realize that this may deter some of you from backing the new campaign and I completely get that. Building trust with a brand takes years but Jason is determined to earn your trust and provide the same level of quality and customer service that I've always tried to give. Not to mention the fact that this new coin is pretty damn amazing! It should also be said that there is no animosity from either of us like some of you may expect. Jason is one of my closest friends and I really wanted to partner up with him on this new venture but it just wasn't realistic. I continue to support him and consult whenever he needs and I'm going to do everything I can to help him succeed.

Thanks for your support!

It's all relative...

It's happening...the third in the series from the Natural Philosopher Coin Collection. 

There have been some changes that I will touch on later but, for now, head on over and check out...

The Relativity Coin!

Available in solid Bronze, solid Copper, solid .999 Silver and 24k Gold Vermeil.

Because of the works of Galileo, Newton and Einstein we have come to understand that accounting for the experience of each individual requires the use of clearly defined fixed points in space.  For The Relativity Coin, we have chosen to explore the relationship between the sun and the earth as the most tangible and fundamental Frames of Reference.  The obverse side of the coin illustrates particles of light radiating from the Sun Frame of Reference, at constant velocity, to be experienced in the Earth Frame at a future time.  On the reverse side of the coin, from the Earth Frame of Reference, the fabric of space and the path of the sun's rays appear to be affected by the earth's gravity.

Thanks in advance for the support!

Hey all...

I just wanted to give you a heads up on the final day for the second coin in our series of 7.

The Platonic Coin

Jason has also made a series of educational videos about the solids. The final one is below but, if you want to see the rest, just scroll down to the bottom of the campaign.

Thanks and we hope you are all starting off 2021 in a positive way!

Hey all...the KS approval took much longer than usual but we are finally approved and ready to launch! I'll send another update tomorrow when the campaign is live but you can sign up to be notified here if you want to be one of the first on board.

The Platonic Coin

We are going to stick to our decision to limit to U.S. backers but please don't take this personally. International shipping is just too unpredictable but we promise to make it up to you with some kind of added bonus for your patience and understanding. Honestly, I haven't even cleared this with Jason but I'm sure he'll be on board. Right Jason? Cool. ;)

Pledge Tiers

You will notice immediately that our pledge tier options are limited to each metal type and simplified compared to last campaigns. This is because you will now be able to choose add ons during the pledge process. Unfortunately, and I think this is because it's in beta mode, I can't see what the process is going to look like, so I'm trusting it's functional before launch.

This is how it should work...

You choose which pledge tier (Bronze, Copper or .999 Silver) and then you will be given the option to add as many coins as you like on top of that single coin.

Of course, you can skip the add on and just choose the single coin if that's what you're looking for.

If this doesn't make sense, I'm sure it will once you see the pledge tiers.

Thanks again and we hope to see you tomorrow!

p.s. Stay tuned each week for a new video. This was supposed to be a weekly surprise but sometimes I just can't contain myself.
