  1. re: Avroair's post above (#229):

    Can a pastor L[H]AO???

    I just did! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

     

    If you have an a** then, sure you can laugh it off!

     

    Forgot to mention I found one of these coins in the travel bug bin at one of my events! How did it get in there? :ph34r: Awesome coin!

  2. Ok I have 12 grab bags ready to go. I have designed a bunch of coins in the last years, and have many extras of my designs. These are all recent coins. There are no duplicates. Add to your collection or get some great traders! I'll also throw in a my micro coin as a freebie!

     

    You get:

    at least 2 limited edition or artist edition coins

    at least 1 future coin

    at least 1 coin and matching pin

     

    Price is $44.00 shipped (with tracking and insurance). Overseas I will have to send two packages for ($8.00) shipped.

     

    Email me through my profile for payment options. First come, first served.

    I have already made up the grab bags so I can't pick and choose coins for you (that's what trading is for!)

  3. I've been working on an Arabian Nights coin for quite some time. Wanted to do the 1001 caches theme, as well as geocaching stories told. Well here it is:

     

    Size: 1.75"

    Thickness: 3mm

    Trackable: Yes

    Unique Icon: Yes

    Gem: Yes, in the middle of the back

    Versions:Aladdin (antique gold) with yellow, purple and turquoise

    Ali Baba (antique copper) with purple, red and green

    Scheherazade (antique silver) with orange, blue and turquoise

    Artist Edition (antique silver) blue, turquoise and red

    They all come in a light blue velvet drawstring bag

     

    Scheherazade version shown below:

    And the back:

    3f6b7fae-4312-419c-8dd5-0dca01293305.jpg

     

    Available in late August or early September.

  4. Lovely coin! Ordered a silver and can't wait for it.

     

    Now if only I could get my hands on a silver from the first version! <_<

     

    That's the hardest one to get. This year's gold version will be in a limited quantity at MEGA Wales.

  5. That's a fair point... what do ya think, something more elegant?

     

    ~J

     

    Yeah kinda. Something with Serifs and a bit cursive with some flair.

     

    Serifs AND Cursive?

     

    I presume you're talking about something with non-traditional serifs, such as something with extra loops or extravagant embellishments?

     

    Or just something along the likes of Vladimir Script

     

    Yep something script, like the s*** Happens font or Billy Argel

  6. Whats the easiest way to check a distance from where your hosting an event and the next closest event?

     

    I just use mapquest to give me an estimate. I put in the address that I know (usually my house but could be a city) and then ask for directions to the city I want to go to. Gives me a time and distance estimate that way.

     

    So the 100 mile rule is based on a driving route or a straight line distance?

     

    My guess would be that it is a straight line distance but you need to talk to Mark if it is that close that a straight line versus driving distance makes or breaks it for you.

     

    It's a bit arbitrary but is enacted to stop two events cannibalizing each others attendees and coin sales. Doesn't make too much sense to have two rival cachers post events at the same time and each have their own version of a coin...

  7. Hello There,

    - I found one text issue. Czech word JEDENACT has incorrect letter A.

    - I can't to add Comment on Google share web for Geocoin participants. :blink:

    Fixing it!

  8. Saying there is no value in anything less than the original coin is akin to someone offering you a chance to take part in an incredible roadtrip of a lifetime and having you say, "Sorry, I wouldn't be caught dead in that junkheap because it's just not up to my personal standards of what is a good car". :laughing: If anything, all the copies, replacements and various fixes to missing coins should only make finding an original coin an even greater experience. B)

     

    I somewhat agree. Using your analogy, there is a disappointment when you expect to go on said road trip in your dream car only to find you have to sit on a donkey all the way instead, some get over the disappointment faster than others... I have seen some cool proxies, which I am happy to move along. If it's laminated paper I usually pass for fear I will lose it! Then again, I don't jump to caches with coins in them specifically.

  9. Is there a yahoo group or something like that where participants can ask questions and converse without using this thread? I seem to remember that for one of the previous group coins we did that. Maybe my mind isn't working right right now. That could be the case too....

     

    Emma is open to questions, I think you are talking about the geojellies? The googledocs page has a comments section at the bottom that could suffice.

  10. Hope this works...

     

    Sort of, we still need to do it as a color by number. Which should get posted or emailed to people today.

  11. Heh! Got my version of the coin today! Me like! So we went with three metals:

    Nickel = GCF europe debut. If they sell out there, cool... if not they are being put on Geoswag

    Copper = Geoswag version. Available late August

    Gold = Mine. 25 of each minted

     

    I have a couple of golds available for trade and will be bringing a few with me to events.
