How do I purchase more than one Vestige coin?
It’s very simple. All that you’ll need to do is select a Pledge level, and when Kickstarter asks how much you want to pledge, they put in the minimum requirement for that level as default. All you simply need to do is pledge additional funds for the number of coins you’d like, and in any combination.
For example, If you wanted to purchase the Galileo Vestige, the minimum cost would be $75 plus your respective shipping cost. Simply add an additional $75 for another Galileo. If you’d rather have a Copernicus Copper vestige, just add $30!
Also be aware that the prices on the Pledges are for their default configuration, Brass/Steel for the Copernicus and Tycho, Syth Rubies for Galileo and Sagan. There will be the ability to choose different materials at the end of the campaign and in most cases they will increase the cost of the coin, if only slightly.

How are the balls held into the face of Vestige?
By using precision drill bits and precision balls, we’re able to create a hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the ball destined to live there. The press fitting of the ball into the material provides a secure fit without the need for adhesives gumming up the coin.
To double check my theory, I handed one to my 2 year old son to test. He’s quite fond of throwing anything he gets his hands on. After throwing the coin around the kitchen with linoleum flooring, all the balls were retained. Next we found a hardwood floor and tested the shock of a hard surface, to which a couple balls were lost. When attempting to reseat the balls I found that the cheapo drill bits I had obtained from my local big box retailer were garbage and were replaced with high end precision bits.
After using the precision bits we retested the drop and shock tests and all balls were retained with the new precise bits.
With that being said, I’m more than happy to replace any ball that happens to fall out. If you’re willing to ship it to and from me, I’m more than happy to replace it, no matter what the material.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
