Original on the left. GWO Premier Level Face lift coin on the right. We dual plated the coin with nickel and shiny gold and made the text easier to read in the small crests. Also corrected the diamond cut edge color for the customers preference.

Check out the difference

With an eye for attention to detail, compare the original coin on the left with the Gray Water Ops coin on the right. We added 3D detail to the design, used a matte nickel instead of a shiny finish and made all of the text easier to read when looking at the coin. We made the white background areas in 2D or 3D metal, to allow painting the correct colors for the text. Also, silver metal doesn’t contrast well against a white background, We dual plated the USSOCOM patch so the spear could be raised 3D metal instead of just outlining the spear. We corrected the color error on the bottom left patch. Color should be gray but the original coin made them blue. The bottom right image, we made the center image in 3D gold to capture the texture.

Free artwork from an artist who’s been designing custom coins for nearly 30 years. I’ll take your original art idea and with some artistic license, make it better so your coin doesn’t look like 20 other coins you’ve seen before!
