**BobK- your thoughts on design are GREAT... **

I thought so too, Lumpy ...

** wondered if the maker will keep the "master", and be able to produce more later, if the demand is high enough, without further re-charging for "startup"..??? **

Yessir, that's the deal. They only charge the startup number once. Makes sense. It's really just a die charge plus it pays for the work involved in the initial exchange of details. Remakes are easy.

** also, for the initial batch, if there is to be more than one, mebbe should be serial numbered-
(any other thoughts on this??)**

I thought about numbering the coins, Lumpr, and decided that numbering would simply make them different, with the low numbers or special numbers more desireable, and would only serve to separate the holders. You know, number 1, number 119, etc. I'd prefer that they be all of equal value to all of us.

** I'd at least like my first six-pack to be sequentially numbered, even if at additional cost. **

I'm really not too sure about how to go about that, except to design in a flat area suitable for numbering. I dunno.

** I'd LOVE to be able to give one to every Gator
or family member I find in the future, if he or she duzzn't already have one.. **

So would I, Lumpy. That's the reason everybody pays a buck over whatever the final cost will be. That way, you or I don't take the hit on giving the coins away and, more important to me, everybody we present a coin to will know it is from ALL of us. (Sometimes I scare myself.)

Moving Right Along ...
