I got a diving helmet.

I like that idea! You mean like an astronomical clock? lol!

I get that Royal Mercy in antique copper is a LE. The confusing part however is that there will be a re-mint of Royal Mercy in antique silver. So far I only knew about a Royal Mercy in antique gold. Did I miss the initial antique silver version? The mint reminted the Royal Mercy in Antique Copper instead of Antique Gold. Not sure why since AG was submitted. Emma at Oakcoins thought it was supposed to be Antique silver. Currently there is no AS version. V1 is AG. V2 is AC. The AG will be reminted, the AC is now a limited edition that will be on sale soon, as well as 50 will be saved for GCF EU. Confusing... sorry.

Typically yes. At 11:11 am or 11:11 pm --- depends how adventurous the host is.

I am making black and white pins for: King, Queen, Rook and Knight --- they will come with the coins, and be sold separately, I suppose those could go into 4 caches to make a set. Would be much cheaper. Mark Avroair

I thought that too... But, thinking about it, as it is now, the coin can't be upside down. Good idea. It's a coin so you can rotate it. And the Q and K alignment was fixed on the production coin, I noticed that when the sample arrived.

So I have been working on a Chess related coin for about 4 years now. Finished it up just in time for the Geoswag August coin and pin of the month. Sample is below. Thanks to Waymarking I found a bunch of Giant Chess Boards (they have a category), and found one in Seattle at a local mall: Waymarking Chess Sets I am holding an event there in August Below is a sample, the chess table and icons are gold two-tone: A different version will also be available on Geoswag.com in August and at Geocoinfest Europe.

Good idea! like an onion! you keep peeling back the layers, or you mean like 11 little ones?

I agree. I think we need a break from the compass rose inspired designs. The Greek coin also has me confused and wondering how it could be personalized for many different events. With a font change is looks great for an individual event. How about a poppy theme on one side? I agree about the poppies. To have an event on Vetern's Day with out some sort of aknowledgement just wouldn't be right. I looked at poppies, they would look like CW88's suncatcher 11-11-11 coin. I can re-look.

These look so cool!

11 11 11 --- obviously need to pick a different font!

No regrouping for me.

Two ideas I am kickin around: Left: Greek, since they held the number 11 in high esteem. Right: A double layered 11 pointed compass Anything resonate?

Aw! I like the tiger moth... looks a bit (only a tad) like my kitty!

If the cache container is taken, it should be archived. I would take issue with this if it were done. While it is no skin off my back one way or another I would think that treating this differently than the the other ones would be unfair. I disagree with the whole "if the container is missing, then archive it policy," many caches have been replaced and continue. Hiding behind a policy doesn't make the policy right.

Trade with her for an unsold, unactivated coin.

We are now just over 2 months away from the first Geocoinfest in Europe: GCF EU Cologne And it is time to start thinking about where the event should move to in 2012? If you want to host it, put together a team, a plan and a vision and then a bid. Some things people need to think about: * this event(s) take time to pull together, at least 7 months * the Geocoinfest would be held in late summer * the city needs to have an airport that is generally accessible * city needs to have nearby attractions rather than just the coins * there needs to be ample hotels in the area * we are expecting over 2,000 at GCF Cologne so the actual event site needs to hold at least that many * there needs to be 2 (preferably 3) local coin coordinators, we need coin people, not just general cachers * vendors are not allowed to bid, this is a conflict of interest * need to work within a team environment Bids are due July 20th, 2011 Previous organizers of Geocoinfests will receive each bid and vote on their merits under 10 criteria. There will be two finalists. This will be finished by August 6th. The winning bid will be annouced at Geocoinfest 2011 in Cologne. I have a sheet of what to expect if anyone is interested, I also have the bid proposal from Cologne to help. These are available June 21st.

The Mardi Gras (Sublimatio) and Ronaldo (Multiplicatio) have arrived: Geoswag presales page

To be determined. The price isn't up to me.

I am afraid I don't have any left. I sold them, traded them and gave a bunch away at my event (6-8 I think). Four were accidentally shipped to Guido in Germany so you stand a better chance with him! Some locals in Washington have them from the event.
