    Oh my! I see LOTS of pretties! Yemon Yime's, Tribal Sun, Crystal Ball.. and look! a Neptune's Compass! What are the coins on the top left?

     

    They are from Compass Coins and are Native American Totems and are absolutely GORGEOUS! I think they are my new favorites... :(

    Wow! I just love these coins! Does anyone have a set available for trade?

  2. :mad: Why do you have to list these on eBay when I am poor as a church mouse? B)

     

    ...and why did you have only 25 of each minted instead of offering them as a presale ?

    I like them but they are already too expensive for me.

    Are you trying to finance a new project ?

    Sorry for not replying. I actually am financing a "new project", but unfortunately not a geocoin-related one :) . I am trying to save up money to purchase a new camera... which I will partly use to photograph geocoins :D . However, in the geocoin realm, I am indeed SLOWLY working on a design (school really gets in the way of geocoins) which will be sold on presale like the Braheans when it is complete.

     

    Wow ! These are selling at really high price : total of 400$ for the first 5 coins.

    Did you get your camera yet ? If so, which one did you get ?

    Any chance of having these versions up for regular sale after you bought your camera ?

    Yes, the coins really are selling even better than I expected. I have only recently earned the money to cover production prices so it'll take some more time to reach my goal.

    If you're interested, the camera I'll probably be getting is a Canon XSi.

    After I do sell enough coins, I doubt I'll be putting up these versions on regular sale but it is likely that I will be trading them.

    Thanks everyone for your support and interest!

  4. For some time now I had been thinking of creating a new Brahean edition and the perfect idea has come at last.

     

    Introducing the Brahean Planet Editions - Mars and Neptune.

     

    As the name suggests, the idea for these editions came from planets: red with polished gold outer ring and sphere, antique bronze middle ring being Mars; blue with polished nickel outer ring and sphere, antique silver middle ring - Neptune. There is a very limited number of these editions minted - 25 each of each.

    I will be putting them up on eBay one by one and will probably post here every time I do so. I hope everyone enjoys them!

  5. Thanks for all the compliments!

    My set-up is actually very simple. I use whatever light is in the room (no separate light source to light the coin). The coin is placed inside a semi-transparent lamp shade. Then, I set my camera on a tripod, set a custom white balance, and shoot the coin with a long exposure so that it isn't too dark. Finally, I sometimes modify the white balance some more on the computer and erase any really strong shadows if needed. Hope this helps!

  6. Here's my go at it:

    I didn't realize that what I marked as Translucent 16 was actually bare metal, so, if possible, I'd like to change that to 2nd Level and Antique Silver to 1st Level like so:

    Edit: Typo in image, should be "Antique Silver/2nd level"

  7. I have available for trade:

    Brahean 3-tone LE, 40 made,

    Brahean 2-tone AE, 35 made,

    and Pink "Cherry" Pi Math Puzzle

    I am not looking for anything in particular except the Delfts Blauw Windmolen, which I know is a long shot. I will consider offers for any combination of the above coins (all 3, any 2, any 1..) in case something interests me, so feel free to email me.
