Smartminting goes double-sided with Powercoin's Eternal Sculptures debut The second and final of Powercoins two new CIT-produced designs is also out today and it's another impressive coin. The first to debut SmartMinting on both sides of the coin, it is again a fine demonstration of this new minting technology [...]
Powercoin harnesses the industry best for its new Guido Fawkes coin After the debut recently of Coin Invest Trust's (CIT) new Skull No1 coin, it became clear that SmartMinting is no gimmick. Clearly able to provide hitherto unobtainable levels of detailed relief on a struck item, we naturally assumed [...]
The Superb Mineral Arts series continues with the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul Collectors of art-architectural coins usually have a favourite series, even if it isn't always possible to collect them.

Now real life images are available we thought it worth posting them as the coins have been extremely [...]
Rome-based coin dealer Powercoin, has launched a few coins of its own in the past, as some dealers occasionally do. Instead of taking the easy route however, Powercoin released some impressive technology-filled numismatics in a series called Ceilings of Heaven. Oval-shaped, antique-finished silver coins, the three designs each depicted one of the impressive Rennaissance ceilings that [...]
Let's get the easy stuff out of the way first. Coin Invest Trust (CIT) have followed up their surprise hit Brexit coin with a pair of gold versions carrying the same design.
