Pre-Orders for Maxim 70 Coins

You may now pre-order the Maxim 70 coin. We expect to be able to ship these out during the second week of November.

"Maxim 70: Failure is not an option. It is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do."

They are $10.00 each, and should make excellent gifts. Award one to someone^1 whose persistence you admire, or to someone who needs a leg up over a recent failure. Or perhaps you might carry one in your own pocket as a tactile reminder of your own passion for standing back up after having been knocked down.

Our first run of these is limited to 500. The Schlock Patreon supporters got a head-start, and we're down to 250 as of this writing. We'll order another 500 if it looks like we're going to sell out, and if that happens this week we should take delivery of the second order in plenty of time to ship everything in time for Christmas. There's no difference between the two runs, and we're not numbering the coins.

^1The practice of awarding a coin to someone who has performed a service, or has otherwise acted in a notable manner, is about 75 years old. We've chronicled a bit of that in this free PDF: An Unofficial Anecdotal History of Challenge Coins, which was funded by our Kickstarter backers in 2013.
