Everything you need to know about ordering from Quartermaster Coins.
What is your standard turnaround time?
Quality cannot be rushed. Because we mint high-relief 3D molds and
use multi-stage curing processes for our enamel, our standard
production time can take up to
30 days from the moment you approve the artwork.
We prioritize getting the details right over rushing the product
out the door. Please plan your event dates accordingly.
Do you offer "Rush" or "Overnight" services?
No. To maintain the high level of detail and
durability we are known for, we do not skip steps in the minting
process. We recommend starting your design process at least
4-5 weeks before you need the coins in hand.
Is there a setup fee for the artwork?
No. Our design services are complimentary. You
will work directly with our artists to create a digital proof. We
offer unlimited revisions until the design is
exactly how you envisioned it. We don't cut metal until you say
"Go."
Do I have to pay for the mold?
For most standard orders, the mold fee is a one-time setup cost.
However, if you order a higher quantity (typically
300+ pieces), we often
waive the mold fee entirely. Once a mold is made,
we keep it on file for 2 years, so you never pay a mold fee on
reorders of the same design.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our standard minimum is 50 pieces. Because of the
industrial setup required to create a custom steel die, ordering
fewer than 50 pieces is generally not cost-effective.
Can I see a physical sample before the full order is made?
To keep your production timeline on track, we do not typically
produce single custom prototypes. Instead, we can ship you a
sample coin from a similar previous project that
matches your desired specs (e.g., 3D High Relief, Antique Finish).
This allows you to physically verify our weight and quality
standards immediately without adding weeks of delay to your order.
What materials do you use?
We don't use lightweight aluminum or plastic fillers. We mint
primarily in Brass and Zinc Alloy, which allows
for deep 3D relief and a heavy, substantial feel. When you hand
someone a Quartermaster Coin, they will feel the weight
immediately.
Can you duplicate a coin I already have?
Yes. If you have a physical coin you want to
recreate, send us a clear photo or mail us the coin. We can draft
a new 3D mold to match the original specifications.
Do you ship to APO/FPO addresses?
Absolutely. We are Veteran-Owned and shipping to
forward operating bases or overseas commands is part of our DNA.
Just provide the correct unit address, and we will handle the
rest.
