This week we wanted to showcase Choice Mint and their amazing proprietary Max Relief minting process which takes high relief to a whole new level. They commit to striking to a depth of at least 3.5mm. This is actually thicker than a standard Silver maple leaf coin that has a thickness of 3.29 mm.
Choice mint was establish in 2012 by Brian Tully a former college athlete who had a longtime passion for numismatics and bullion. For Brian the passion became reignited and became the basis of this business venture after being sidelined by back injuries he sustained during his years of college sports. He partnered with a fellow enthusiast he met while following his passion and attending events such as the World Money Fair in Berlin and American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money. Choice Mint strives to make truly artistic coins that will appeal to many collectors. You can read their full story on the Choice Mint website here.
Choice mint currently has two active coin series underway. Their Legends of Asgard Series and The Camelot Series.
The Legends of Asgard Series is based on Norse mythology and is planned to be a 12 coin set. These are truly coins as they are backed by the government of Tokelau and carry a face value of $10, this certainly sets them apart from many high relief bullion creators. This series is 3oz in size and minted using their Max relief technology. They have a maximum mintage of 1,500 pieces.
The first round in the Series is Odin, the Ruler of the Aesir.
This was followed by Valkyrie, the Chooser of the Slain.
The third round in the series depicts Ymir, and the art has been released, with the coin to follow soon.
The Camelot Series is the other series that has currently been released by the Choice Mint, it is planned for 6 issues. The focus of this coin is the Knights of the Round table and the legend of King Arthur and Camelot. This is also a coin and backed by the government of the Cook Islands and bears a face value of $10. This series is minted in ultra high relief, in a 2 oz size, with maximum mintages of 999.
The first Coin released was King Arthur himself.
The second coin depicts lady Guinevere.
The coins from the Choice mint are truly breathtaking and unfortunately we don't currently have any in our collection.They do link to many popular YouTube channels on their site that do have wonderful videos showcasing their coins here.

The reverse of this coin bears a image of a seductive, tempting Succubus.
The succubus coin is much more than just a cool image of a pretty girl (although it certainly is). The succubus image has a much deeper and metaphorical meaning to us. It represents the struggle against any form of alluring temptation that may be wrapped in a seductive package but could ultimately lead to your demise.
In traditional folklore the succubus was a beautiful seductive demon who would seduce men, once these men were seduced their health would deteriorate and they would ultimately die. It's possible you could relate to a relationship of this nature where a partner was slowly drawing the life out of you, but on an even deeper level we feel the temptation and deteriorating effects can apply to so many aspects of one's life, not only relationships.
We also feel the succubus can serve as a constant reminder to understand the deeper meaning of anything and ensure we are not blinded by it's beauty or allure.
Lastly we also draw great strength knowing we have overcome challenges and temptations in our lives to breed character and form our personalities. This ultimately led us to our first release titled "Temptation of the Succubus"

Site no longer running and rumours that it was a scam (took money and dissapeared).
Maybe worth updating this page.
Shame there’s not a full collection :(
