UPDATE: I have received word I should have samples back early next week. I will post picture to share.

Nope you did not miss it. I had not gotten that far yet. These will be available for sale through coins and pins. I will be posting all updates here and on my site.

IMO RSG, this all started from someone trying to get you to sell your tranquility's for a lower price. The above discussion will always have people on both sides. In your situation do not let someone try to bully you down in price because your tranquility's are activated. This is not a common situation because activated or not you have an extremely rare collection of coins that is going to have in increased value regardless of weather or not they are activated. Sell the coins for the value you feel they are worth. People will always look for reason to undercut a price, That is just economics. Good luck and I hope Walter gets better soon!

I really cannot wait to show you the samples. The coloring used in the artwork it not representative of the colors that will be on the coin. Like Translucent #4 is a vibrant orange, not the brown they use to represent it on the artwork.

I dont care one bit if it as activated or not. I activate all my keepers anyways as I enjoy taking them to events with me and letting others discover them. As long as they have been properly stored to protect them and they can be adopted over, i don't care one way or the other.

Here is the final artwork showing the front and back. I should have samples in a few weeks.

No, I will be incorporating the names into the design on the back.

Beautiful coin! I will keep my eye out for the presale!

It got moved to the general caching forum...what sucks, is that it was pretty much MY FAULT!!! The Old Skool "Tokens are Cool" thread would probably still be around if it wernt for me! Never even got one stone tossed at me, so BRING IT ON! Well, if the makers ogf the Snowball Coins come up with a Rock Fight Coin, I'll throw one at you. Are you looking for a pebble or a boulder?

No they will not be the same base metal. I am thinking antique copper for the earth edition, Polished gold for the royal edition and nickel for the gypsy edition. I am still unsure of my AE, i will wait until i get samples in before i make the final choice.

Here is the die art for the front of the coin. I am making a couple small changes to the design on the back and I will post that when it comes back from the mint.

Oh, I love this design. Nice!

Please keep in mind i just started working on this design so I am sure I will be making several changes before I am happy with it. This is just to give you a basic idea of what the coin will look like. This is a mock-up pf the front.

You got hit with a yellow snowball?? That is just too funny! That coin is way cute.

I know I am a total dork for admitting this, but my crew has their own myspace page. I entered this pic in photo contest and came in 1st place. I put the aquarium screensave ron my laptop and my cat would pounce on it knocking the screen backwards and flat on the table. One of my other kitties got drunk and "earned" some beads. If you are familiar with LOLCATZ you will enjoy these. My orange cat Maxwell is a total ham for the camera.

I have room for 30 names in my preliminary design. This is what I have so far. 1. Emil 2. empty 3. Mike 4. Cameron 5. Thayne 6. Riley 7. Nicholas 8. empty 9. Ross 10. empty 11. Alex 12. Zoe 13. Christopher 14. empty 15. Conor 16. empty 17. empty 18. empty 19. empty 20. empty 21. empty 22. empty 23. empty 24. empty 25. empty 26. empty 27. empty 28. empty 29. empty 30. empty

Yes it will be trackable.

Yes they will be trackable. I am sorry i did not mention that before. I am still very early in the design stage.

Thank you all for your emails. I have plenty of room left for more names for anyone who has not already sent me one.

I am working on an autism coin I have wanted to create for a while. I would like to make is a bit more personal. I would like to add the names of children affected by this illness. If you have a child or know a child who suffers from autism please email me their first name only. You can PM me though here or email me though my profile. I am unsure how many names I will be able to fit or if I will even end up using any of them in the finished design, although i really want to. The design is still very young in its sketching out stages. Thank you. Edit to add: These will be trackable on geocaching.com.

Yes My name is Krystal. I will show the back when i get the final artwork back from the mint.

Ok, so I have come up with 3 legitimate color combinations and 1 very cooky combination I may use for my AE. I am considering a no enamel 2 tone edition, but i am not making any promises. It will depend on how the samples from the mint turn out. Preliminarily my 2009 Fantasy Butterfly will have a Royal Edition, Gypsy Edition, Earth Edition, & a Cooky AE edition. I am having so much fun with this coin. My husband was cracking up with some of the crazy color combinations i colored in earlier today before i got a bit more realistic about what others may like to see
