Four brand new coin designs from the world of Mistborn™. The coins come from two distinct time periods in the series: Era 1 (The Final Empire) and Era 2 (Elendel). The coin art was designed at Dragonsteel Entertainment by Isaac Stewart and inked by Ben McSweeney. Brandon Sanderson approved the design, metal, weights, and styles of each coin.

Hi Backers!
I just wanted to let you know that if you are a fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, we just launched our newest project: Pre-Conquest Coins of Westeros
And in Mistborn news, we have a few of these Collector boxes left that you can buy on our website. We will not be reordering them after they are all gone!
Thanks!
-Helen, Shire Post Mint
Well, we're finally at the end. We've shipped rewards and pre-orders and the Mistborn coins you helped us create are available for sale in our store! It's a great feeling to see these coins up and available for fans everywhere, and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you so much.
We just posted the video footage of the coins we sent to space for the "Cosmerenaut" backers. It's a really cool video, and we edited it into a nice highlight video that offers a little more insight:
Pretty cool, huh? If you're looking for something a bit more meditative, we also uploaded the entire 2 hour video, so Cosmerenaut backers can watch their coin's entire journey.
If you haven't already heard of it, check out the Kickstarter for this board game based on The Reckoners trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. They've already doubled their goal, and have a few weeks left. If you're a gamer and a Sanderson fan, give it a look.
That's it for updates here, but we still want to hear from you! It was great interacting with all of you on this Kickstarter, and we'd love to see you around the internet. If you're a fan of A Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, or The Kingkiller Chronicle, definitely keep up with us as we're always working on new things for these and other fantasy worlds.
If you're mostly a fan of Mistborn, we'll have some new items from Scadrial releasing in the future as well. Stay tuned!

Since our last update, we've shipped out all of the rewards for our backers that have turned in surveys. Whether you were in the first or second lockdown group, your order should be shipped with a tracking number in an email sent to you.
If your order hasn't been shipped yet, check that your Backerkit survey is filled out, or message us and ask for a link to your survey. We're happy to send those to you! There are still a small number of incomplete surveys, and we'll be sending those out as they are completed.
A couple backers have reported problems with their shipments being held up or not being delivered to them. This is frustrating, but unfortunately it does happen. We're working with everyone who has reached out to us to make sure they get their rewards. Don't hesitate to contact us if you suspect something might be wrong with your shipment, especially if you're not in the United States. We'll do everything we can to make sure your rewards get to you.
With all that said, THANK YOU SO MUCH! We're both sad and glad to be at the end of this amazing project and to have supplied so many coins to so many backers. This has been our largest Kickstarter ever, and we especially want to thank those of you who shared the project with your friends and those who put their trust in us and backed us for the first time.
So what's next? Pre-orders! If you've pre-ordered through Backerkit, your order is heading out soon. We'll be charging credit cards and shipping out pre-orders within the coming week, so be on the lookout for your shipping notification email.
Once all pre-orders have been taken care of, we can make Mistborn™ coins available to the public. Our goal is to have Mistborn coins, sets, and keyrings available for purchase on our website on February 23rd. If someone you know has been waiting to get their hands on Mistborn coins, we'd love it if you let them know that they're for sale!
We always have projects happening, large and small, and we'd love it if you followed along with us.

If you were part of the first lockdown back in December and you've been waiting for your custom box from Wyrmwood Gaming and all your other rewards to arrive, we want to thank you for your patience. We also want to say that our first shipment of boxes is IN, and we're going full speed starting to ship out orders!
Look at all these boxes! We're super excited to have worked with Wyrmwood Gaming and to have all of these awesome boxes for you guys, we can say that looking at them in-person, they're definitely worth the time that was put into them.
Those of you in the first lockdown group whose orders still haven't shipped should be receiving a shipping notification soon. It's taking us a little bit longer than usual to sort through each box and make sure you're getting exactly what you ordered, but the majority of you can expect your shipping confirmation before February.
If you're in the second lockdown group, your boxes aren't far behind! Wyrmwood has said they have most of these boxes are done and that they will be shipping us the second shipment soon.
If you've filled out your survey after January 3rd or haven't filled out your survey yet, we've been locking down surveys in small batches and shipping them out as we get them. We will continue to do this for all remaining backers, so if you have any issues completing your survey, don't hesitate to message us.
By the middle part of February we should have shipped the majority of backer rewards, and will then be ready to start shipping out pre-orders before we offer Mistborn coins for general sale on our website and other platforms. If you or friends of yours missed out on the Kickstarter or might be interested in coins from Mistborn, we'd love it if you shared this news with them when the coins are available. As a reminder you can follow us on Facebook or Twitter to keep up with sales and announcements, or on Instagram where you can see behind the scenes and into the shop. You can also sign up for our email newsletter if you're interested in that.
That's it for now! Thanks so much to everyone for your support, patience, questions and comments.
