No, it won't chip off, especially if you don't try to touch the coin, as it is a proof, and is thus not intended for spending, only collecting. |

Currently the Odyssey Mint has no plans on non-colorized versions of the John Avery Whittaker tribute proof coin. We appologize we are unable to oblige your request, however, your request is noted.
Thank you for contacting us in this issue. |

Will these proofs be individually numbered for security purposes?
And will the citizens of Odyssey be seeing any further mints of AIO characters?
(I feel like a press reporter  ) |

Dear Reporter Coralfish:
The proof coins are individually numbered because lower mintage is highly prized by coin collectors. The lower the serial number of a coin series, the more the coin is worth.
Currently, there no plans for producing coins porraying any other Odyssey characters because few have contributed as much to the town of Odyssey as John Avery Whittaker. |
