The second in a series of coins inspired by important developments in philosophy, science and math.
As a supporter of The Platonic Coin campaign, be one of the first to see the fourth coin in The Natural Philosopher Collection.
Hey there! Just wanted to shoot out a quick reminder for the latest coin. The campaign ends in less than two days so hop on now before it's too late.
Also, be sure to scroll down into the campaign and check out some of the videos you may have missed (most of them are close to the bottom of the campaign). Jason took these to another level.
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.
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 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...
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!

Done! Such a great feeling. I owe some email responses to a couple of you which will happen by tomorrow, just playing catch up with the inbox. I still fantasize about zero inbox but seems to be a unicorn. Thanks to all of you that supported and have taken the time to share your thoughts in the comments. I know Jason has been trying to pick up the slack on responses but, please know, the comments are appreciated, welcome and do not go unnoticed.
Quite a few of you have reached out about purchasing Fibonacci Coins at the discounted price. The link below will take you to the site and should automatically apply a 15% discount code at checkout. If there is a glitch of any kind, you can manually put in the code: FIBO15
Unfortunately, it only applies to Bronze and Copper because Silver is becoming harder and harder to come by.
Final thought, I only have 8 Silver, 50 Copper and 100 Bronze available. If they sell out before you're able to get one, I'll get you another discount code once they are back in stock.
This is where I get them. We provided them for the Silver and Gold options but they are too costly to add in for the Bronze and Copper. A few of you asked where you could get some so, here ya go.
If you didn't receive tracking information, it's possible that you're one of the 40 or so backers that still haven't filled out your survey. Please direct message me if you think this may be the case. Just kidding about the last call statement...your coins will always be waiting for you.
That's all for now folks! We are a couple of months in on the next design and hope to bring it to you this summer! In the meantime, you can also sign up for Jason's newsletter or mine to see what we're up to.
Thanks again!
Anthony & Jason
