  1. Oh my! It's been 5 minutes and I'm still laughing. Add me to the "jealous of GCF attendees" list.
  2. Tolkien fan and moon/stars/space fan checking in and looking forward to the sale! I find myself oddly drawn to the really BRIGHT one, even though it's not usually my style at all.
  3. My first coin was a Mimbres Turtle, a gift from my best friend, anne.and.eli. I absolutely *love* it, although I suspect she had an ulterior motive -- getting me as addicted to geocoins as she is!
  4. anne.and.eli asked me at 12:30am if I'd like to do something 'insane'. By 1:15am we were looking for the cache. An exciting, first, night caching experience! Anne picked up the coin, it being her insane idea and all. I am sure she'll be along in a few minutes to tell all about it. But thanks, cache reaper, for the wonderful adventure!
  5. Wow this is hard! I keep thinking "oh, I'll definitely keep this one" and then think how sad I'd be if I had to get rid of a different one. Can't imagine how much harder it is for all you folk with BIG collections. But after much thought... Trackable: Mimbres Turtle (Black Nickel). It's special to me in three ways: a gift from my good friend anne(.and.eli), a reminder of my favorite part of the country, and a symbol of my favorite animal. Untrackable: a cute little glitter teddy bear that I got at last night's Northern California event from Marky. Since I only have a few untrackables, this choice was much easier.

    Yes I do! Email sent.
  7. 1. What is your favourite finish? I like the antique metals better... antique copper or antique bronze, probably? I almost always like silver better than gold. But like others have said, it really depends on the coin. 2. What is your favourite 2-tone finish? I'm not a huge fan of two-tone, but maybe I just haven't seen the right coin yet! 3. Do you like to see multiple finishes offered for a coin? Do you buy them all, or just your favourite(s)? Yes, and I'll buy my favorites. 4. Do you prefer round coins or shaped coins? Generally round, but of course there are exceptions. My absolute favorite right now is tsun's Bora Bora earth turtle. 5. Do you prefer trackable or non-trackable? trackable, although I've only got two right now I'm planning on releasing, so I'm not really sure why 6. Do you prefer personal coins, caching-related coins, or 'art' coins? Generally art coins, but it depends on the design. 7. Do you collect around a theme (what theme), or collect whatever catches your eye? Being fairly new to this, I've been collecting whatever catches my eye. But there are definitely coins that I'll gravitate towards more: turtles, birds, national parks/benchmark coins, space exploration... 8. Do you have a coin budget? Do you ever go over this budget? No explicit budget, but I do keep track of all my purchases (and trades) in a spreadsheet, and can easily see how much I've spent and if it's time to cut back. 9. Are you more likely to buy a coin, or trade for a coin? Mostly buy right now, but I've got a few extra coins that I keep meaning to post to the trading thread. 10. Do you have any 'absolutely never trade' coins in your collection, or are they all fair game for a trade? Yes, I have some 'absolutely never trade'. Ones that have some personal meaning to me, like representing my favorite national parks, or my favorite animals. There are others I'm attached to, but would part with for the right trade.
  8. Wow, these are stunning. I think I like the classic one best, but the more I look at the Fiesta colors the happier I feel! I have a feeling I'm going to be giving anne.and.eli a really long GCF shopping list almost all for your booth, tsun!

    I had a great time at the northern California event, and I'm so glad I came. Thank you to Marky for organizing!!!! -Gillian
  10. Oh, what a gorgeous spot. Now I've got a new dream vacation!
  11. I got mine today too, and they are so gorgeous, and enormous... I'm absolutely thrilled with them! They both look even better in real life than in the website pictures.
  12. Sounds fun to me too! I'd like to participate.
  13. Sounds fun to me! Consider me dragged along.
  14. I can't believe it's already September. Thanks for organizing this, Penny and Kona! Birthday Mission: Email Sent - 9/2 Birthday Mission: Name Received - Birthday Mission: Sent - Birthday Mission: Received -
  15. Adding my voice to the masses. I LOVE the copper one! Hopefully some will pop up in caches on California's central coast?
  16. Turtles paid for and I can't wait for them to arrive! The silver turtle went out of stock as I was trying to check out though.
  17. I hope so! Stuff still seems to be in my cart, and I've been through several server errors refreshing the page. Here's hoping they stick around long enough for me to be able to complete checkout!
  18. My reservation is in! These look so gorgeous. I also got a couple extras for trade.
  19. You already know I LOVE your coin and would be first in line for buying it. Eartha's comment about copyright is a good point. It looks like the copyright on Over the Rainbow is owned by Rhino, which is a subsidiary record label of Warner Music. The quote is perfect for the coin, though, and one of my favorite movie songs too!
  20. Great work! These all look great. My favorites are probably the black nickel with light gray moon and copper with white moon. I also like the brass with yellow moon, which I wasn't really expecting to like... maybe because it stands out among the greys here?
  21. I think I would buy this design in any metal. It is so beautiful. Put in my order for the gold.
