Gang:

Excel still has these coins up on the website...if that means anything. Just between us girls (CR Gang) I have produced these for myself. I have them EDM'ed out of stainless steel and they look really good.

What I did not like about Excel is that theirs were gold and the original Gios was chrome that is why I did them in polished stain steel. You might say they are the gold standard.

Perhaps the "coin collectors" of Gios know better, but doesn't Excel Sports in Boulder have these for sale on a regular basis?

And are the Excel ones MS-65 or perhaps available in a Proof version? And are there outside companies that can certify and seal your Gios coins?

for what it's worth, I bought a pair of those coins a couple of months ago. I was told at that time that these were the last ones Excel had, and that they were not sure if Gios was still making them. Be worth calling them if you need a set, to find out, though.
