WE OFFER FREE CHALLENGE COIN, PATCH AND LAPEL PIN ARTWORK AS LONG AS GRAY WATER OPS MINTS YOUR COINS, LAPEL PINS OR EMBROIDERED PATCHES! We do not create custom art as part of our free service. We will take your ideas and images, and create camera ready art from the files you provide. Artwork is free if you’re placing an order. If you start an order and ask for artwork, we will complete the art and make any changes as needed. Once approved, we will put the coins into production. If we complete art and you decide NOT to order, we will charge a $150 art fee to compensate for the time spent working on your art. If you need something custom made, we charge $75 per hour for artwork outside normal layout. Most orders do not require custom artwork and don’t have any art fees. If you place your order at a later date, you will get a credit for the $150 art fee paid.

Due to the rising cost of credit card fees, effective May 1, 2023 you can pay with an ACH online check, a physical check or money order with no service fees.
If you would like to pay with a credit card, there will be a 3% processing fee to cover the charge.

Original on the left. GWO Premier Level Face lift coin on the right. We dual plated the coin with nickel and shiny gold and made the text easier to read in the small crests. Also corrected the diamond cut edge color for the customers preference.

Check out the difference

With an eye for attention to detail, compare the original coin on the left with the Gray Water Ops coin on the right. We added 3D detail to the design, used a matte nickel instead of a shiny finish and made all of the text easier to read when looking at the coin. We made the white background areas in 2D or 3D metal, to allow painting the correct colors for the text. Also, silver metal doesn’t contrast well against a white background, We dual plated the USSOCOM patch so the spear could be raised 3D metal instead of just outlining the spear. We corrected the color error on the bottom left patch. Color should be gray but the original coin made them blue. The bottom right image, we made the center image in 3D gold to capture the texture.

Free artwork from an artist who’s been designing custom coins for nearly 30 years. I’ll take your original art idea and with some artistic license, make it better so your coin doesn’t look like 20 other coins you’ve seen before!
