✦ From the Workshop ✦
Carved by hand.
Cut for the die.
Before there is silver, there is wax. The first master for the Spear of the Gulf was cut by hand out of a solid block — no machine, no shortcut — one stroke at a time until Florida Man surfaced out of it. From this one object the dies were cut, and every Spear we strike carries its face.
Before there is silver, there is steel. This is the master the Sunken Real’s die was cut from — her face in full relief, exactly as the silver carries it. Every coin of this legend we ever strike begins in this one object.
The dies were cut from this.
The dies are cut.

Welcome to Florida Man Mint.
The High Tide Society™
The inner circle of the First Tide.
The High Tide raises the worthy — and the Society is her inner circle. Four to six times a year she surfaces a new member-exclusive strike, and members get the first claim, the lowest serial numbers, and the lore. It isn't a mailing list — it's a charter, sworn under the lantern. The Founding roll is open, and every name on it is a founder.
Here is what a Founding Member claims:
First Claim
A priority window to purchase every member-only release — four to six a year, strictly limited.
The First Fifteen
Serials 001–015 of every strike are held for members to pick — the numbers collectors fight over.
Portal-Only Mintings
Member-exclusive strikes. When they're gone, they're legend.
The Lore Letter
Stories, drop intel, and mayhem reports from both sides of the Gulf.
First Water Rights™
The private early window. Every new release opens to the Society before the public tide comes in.
Merchandise & Member Incentives
Member-only pieces from the Mint, and a growing set of personal perks for the roll — first looks, early words, the odd surprise in the box. In the works now; members hear first.
The Founding Suite
Your numbered black metal Member card, and your name sworn onto the printed Charter of the First Tide — signed, sealed, unmistakably yours.
And membership arrives the way a privilege should — your numbered black metal Member card, and your name on the sworn Charter of the First Tide.
Plainly: the seat is $129 a year. It does not include a coin. It gives you the right, and the first window, to buy the coins nobody else can — The High Tide included, each at its own price.
A new name from an old house. Florida Man Mint is backed by Certified Rare Coin Auctions LLC, established 2002 and celebrating its 25th year in the coin trade — and every coin we strike is authenticated and registered to that standard.
