    Surprised you are using a black panther for the icon...since there is no black panther coin...but maybe that's why you are using it.

     

    Actually I was just thinking that the panther Icon would be a good one to use with the panther paw coins when I do another metal. hmmmmmm........gotta think about this one.

     

    Maybe since the Lion is king of the cats I should use that?? Suggestions anyone :laughing:

    I like them the way they are, looks great. I'd like a set.

     

    Thanks.....I think they will look really nice in 3D. I'll be taking reservations in a few days and should have a firm price for everyone. So far I have about 71 sets reserved for people requesting them.

    I'll most likely take everyones reservations untill the coin orders are filled before I start sending invoices out.

    Are your new coins going to be paw-print shaped???????? I got my Prowlers in and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE them!!! Everybody that I have shown them to has begged for one. I would love to see what the other cats would look like done that way!!!!!! :laughing:

     

    I'm glad you like the coin :laughing: However this set will not be paw shaped. I am thinking about doing another metal in the prowling panther coin in the near future.

    Who Made these coins and where would I be able to purchase them

    However the first 2 I seen go off at $33 and $34.

     

    There are a few more on e-bay as we speak or you can see if you can work a trade out with someone

    Why not continue with the paw print shape that you started with on "Prowler"? That is one of the main reasons that I bought that coin. I absolutely loved the shape and the way it was made with the pic and all. I think you need to have your next four coins made just like "Prowler", with the face of the animal looking at you so realistically!! Make the paw prints match the animals. I pesonally don't care for the ideas that you have at the moment, but that's just one opinion. You put out an awesome product before, and it went VERY well, so do it again!!! (I'm still waiting on my "Prowler", but maybe they will be here Monday!)

     

    Good Idea.....I'll have to think about that one :laughing:

    Glenn........The USPS is funny. I sent each and every order out all together on the same day (monday) afternoon around 1:30pm here in Pennsylvania. On wed I received notice that one of my coins arrived to a buyer in Michigan. There were some Pennsylvania buyers who did not get their coins till Yesterday.......go figure ??????

     

    I'm not saying its your fault at all LOL,,My mail is slower then anything !! I waited on a coin from Georgia 1 state away it took 13 days to get here :) , then one from Englad arrived in 4 days so indeed go figure :o:) , No hurry no worrie,,Glenn

     

    You should have panther tracks at your mailbox monday..........ummm maybe tuesday????? lol

    Good news.......I received the coins today and I managed to get them all shipped back out on the same day.

    The coins are really really nice and I'm very happy with how the coins turned out.

    However there was an error in the minting process. The coin mint did not put the sequential numbers on the coin. I figured most of you would not want to wait another 6 weeks to have the coin corrected for the sake of the numbering. I contacted rusty about this error and he sent me a copy of the die art that clearly shows the coins with the numbers. He is going to get in touch with the mint to see if there is anything that can be done. Check back here in a couple days and I'll let everyone know whats going on.

     

    Here is a copy of the die art that clearly shows the sequential numbering.

    I have 3 coins ordered, can't wait to get them!! Is the mint going to make new coins with the numbers, and if so, are we going to get first chance to but them again, since these weren't quite right? I would love to get the corrected ones to go with these in my collection.

     

    I told them not to bother.....they would have repeated the same tracking codes on the new coins and that would have really messed things up.

    Thanks Chaosmanor....I'm glad you liked it. I think they turned out really well and I'm really happy with them. I just wish I had more made :o

     

    Have yet to get my Panther coins, Then again my mail is always slow to arrive. When I recieve my coins we can always trade :):) I'll hep you get one back :D

     

    On the Cat series I also have to vote no on the full photo inlay. The finest of detail can be done 3D. The 2006 Alaska coins have to agree have wonderfull detail that bring them to life and have outstanding features. I will post some photos of them soon on my photo thread. Still count me in on these love nature themed coins and the Cats are beautiful renderings . Glenn

    Well.....I'm told that if I did the 2d graphic in color it would not turn out that well because of the detail. I guess I'll wait and see how things go before I decide on 2d or 3d without the color. Photo inlay would work out nice like my panther paw coin but it's kind of expensive. I'm working on getting quotes as we speek and I'll see what others come up with <_<

     

    I have no idea how much it cost, but check out Lakersfan559's California 2006 coin for 2d color graphics. Very, nicely detailed color paintings <_<

     

    I also really like GeocacheAlaska's 2006 coin's 3d relief of a wolf. No colors but finely detailed paintings and drawings.

     

    Whatever you decide, please count me in for at least one set!

     

    :huh:

     

    I checked out Lakersfan559's coin and I actually had something like that in mind. I'm waiting on price quotes on several different types of coins. Of coarse price is going to be a big factor because a 4 coin set could get pretty costly, and I want to make this affordable for everyone. I spend alot of time on the computer doing the graphics and when I'm finished I would like the coin to look as close to the graphic as possible. If I could get a nice colored graphic that looks very close to the graphic I did without making it look too much like a cartoon it would be awesome. I was able to do my panther paw coin in that manner and I think it turned out really nice. I'm getting lot's of good feedback from folks who received the coins.

    I will probably post the cost of these sets sometime next week when I get the rest of the quotes back.

    I would vote against the photo inlay on these, if I had a vote :) Line drawings could be very attractive; check out the Alaska coins and others like it as examples. If color just won't work, then drawings (which would be etchings on the coins) could be the way to go. I really like the basic idea of this set, and I think you have a great foursome of subjects.

     

    BTW: got my Prowlers today: very nice! :)
