+Orange Hippo Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I am seeking design ideas from Nevada cachers as to what you would like to see on a Nevada geocoin. (Of course others are welcome to make suggestions too, but as this coin is for Nevada I'll look at nevadan cachers input first ) I'm also going to keep a spreadsheet for folks that want me to note how many they would like to purchase when it is minted. As the GBES Rally coin design seemed to attract some attention, I hope the Nevada geocoin does even better. To keep this thread somewhat manageable - if you want to have a # of coins reserved for you please email me at NV.geocoin@*@charter.net - REMOVE the * and one of the @ when you do - trying to cut down on spam! Ok Nevada cachers - ideas please! Quote
+Nazgul Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I'm not in Nevada (although I have cached there) and would probably be intersted in a few coins, but how many depends on the specifics of price, design, etc. I'll keep an eye on this thread and let you know an exact amount when more info is available. Good luck with the coin development. Ummm... Of course if I get to reserve low-numbered coins (if they've even got numbers!) by speaking up first I'll take 5 of those. Quote
+ogeoISplash Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Can't wait to see what Nevada will come up with. I'll be willing to go in for at least 3 coins. Email sent. Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Shouldn't Nevada use a Poker Chip? Yeah worthless advice but I couldn't help it. Quote
+Mystery Ink Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Put me in for 10 when ready. I lived and worked in and out of Carson City for 15 years the last ten for Nevad Bell. Covered Washoe Valley south to Pahrump and Nevada side of Tahoe to Winnemucca. My view of the state, I am sure, is different than those that live in Las Vegas. Wished they had geocaching then, so much to see, so many different ideas, from mines to sheep, to ghost towns and mill sites. Quote
+Marcie/Eric Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) I'm in neighboring California and a frequent visitor to Nevada. I'm interested in a few, depending on design/price, so i'll be watching this thread. My suggestions for images on the coin: Cactus Silver mining reference Slot machine or Royal Flush UFO with a '51' on it. Hoover Dam in Nevada, no? Edited June 8, 2005 by Marcie/Eric Quote
+Marky Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Nevada is one of the few states I've cached in besides California. I will definitely be buying a few. --Marky Quote
+Shop99er Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) I don't live in Nevada, either, but I would suggest an outline of the state on one side, and a UFO hovering over Hoover Dam on the other. Maybe the UFO could somehow look like a poker chip?? Edited June 8, 2005 by Shop99er Quote
+Spencersb Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I'll take 3 myself, email sent! Have you decided who will do the minting yet? Quote
+DHobby1 Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Drop my name in the hat for (5) five Nevada coins. If they are anything like the GBES coins they will be AWESOME! Quote
+hammerjane Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 If they are anything like the GBES coins they will be AWESOME! I agree. The GBES is one of my favorites. Put me down for 5 regardless. Quote
+Moose Mob Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Can't wait to see what they look like! I'm still deciding on quantity. Quote
+Go JayBee Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Great!!! Just when I think I've caught up with this GeoCoin Craze............here comes another one.......... Please count me in for 15 whenever they are going to be available. Go JayBee Quote
LoriDarlin Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I contacted you a few days ago and ordered 10 thru emailing as requested but am still doing it here too since everyone else is. Thanks much & Good luck!! Quote
+Bob&TheGang Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I will likely order 10 (depending on the price). Good Luck with this whole process. Quote
drofrockology Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 yeah, i love it, dale! i like the idea of the big horn sheep. it is the state animal. unless you count nv wolf as an animal. monty Quote
+Moose Mob Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I, too, like the bighorn sheep idea and for the same reasons. Other ideas were presented for the Nevada State Quarter. That link may help stir up a few more thoughts. Quote
+Square Bear Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 If you don't decided to do a pure silver coin may think about doing them all in a silver plate, we are the silver state. A 1 1/2 inch coin only adds about .30 to each coin for silver plate. Quote
+Nurse Dave Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 From what I've seen, plated coins don't have the definition in detail nonplated ones do. Because the plating rounds off some of the sharper edges. Quote
+Orange Hippo Posted June 9, 2005 Author Posted June 9, 2005 There will be a special run of pure silver coins - very limited run size... as Nevada is The Silver State! Quote
+XRN95 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I would love to have a pure silver one if the sales would be open to anyone!! I would get three more "regular coins" in addition. Quote
+Orange Hippo Posted June 9, 2005 Author Posted June 9, 2005 Reminder . .. If you want to have me reserve a certain amount of coins for you... please send email to NV.geocoin@*@charter.net REMOVE the * and one of the @ when you do - trying to cut down on spam! I will start send an email back to you to confirm I recieved it. Thanks Quote
+Hula Bum Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 From what I've seen, plated coins don't have the definition in detail nonplated ones do. Because the plating rounds off some of the sharper edges. Yep. Had proofs sent to me and the plated ones (gold and silver) lost all detail. Quote
+Mystery Ink Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 If and when you do the silver ones, I would like -- 2 -- in addition to the others I have requested. Quote
+The Dillon Gang Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 (edited) Time to get the art flowing.... Come on Nevada cachers....submit your art to a great cause Edited June 10, 2005 by The Dillon Gang Quote
+Ed & Julie Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Cool! Put me down for 2 Ed "The Badge & The Butterfly" nelson143@sbcglobal.net Quote
+Me & Bucky Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 I'm not very good in the drawing department, but here are some ideas: State outline Bighorn Sheep Lonliest Road in America Red Rock NCA and Valley of Fire Black Rock Desert Mushroom Cloud (remember the proposed license plate?) Petroglyph/Fremont Man Tule Duck Decoy (one of the more interesting state symbols) Boundary Peak Nighthawk 117-A (stealth fighter) Things I'm lukewarm about: Anything Reno (Biggest Little City) or Las Vegas (Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas) Anything Area 51/Space Alien (maybe for the next one) I like the thought of a special edition silver coin. Perhaps with a small CC, paying homage to the mint in Carson City? Quote
+Moose Mob Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I will be ordering a few. I will send an e-mail with a specific quantity once the design and pricing is better defined. Will these be trackable on GC.com? I know it adds a little to the cost of each coin, but it does make them more desirable across the geocaching world. Quote
+KA7CJH Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I have an idea for a very nice Nevada GeoCoin. As soon as I find it I will post it here. Is there a page where i can see the current ideas? Chris KA7CJH Quote
+dblrngr Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 put me down for 1... or do you have to order more than just one? Quote
+The Dillon Gang Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 (edited) alright....try this one...thought maybe the more natural parts of nevada for the reverse. Edited June 14, 2005 by The Dillon Gang Quote
+KA7CJH Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Ok, here is what I think the Nevada Geo-coin should look like. http://www.qsl.net/ka7cjh/gc/Geocoin.jpg Quote
+Shop99er Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 There will be a special run of pure silver coins - very limited run size... as Nevada is The Silver State! Please put me on the list for 1 silver, and 2 regular. Quote
+Uncle Alaska Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 I sent an email with my requests (at least one silver, and more regulars depending on pricing). As I am moving from Alaska to Nevada in late september, I think I should get some coins from the silver state. However, I have been a Lyon County property tax payer for about 10 years, I co-own a house and property outside Yerington. Thanks for putting together this project -UA Quote
+the4Grays Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 We live on Roswell Drive so you can put us down for 10 and 1 silver Quote
Honest Pleasure Posted June 15, 2005 Posted June 15, 2005 Let me know when these coins are available - I'm in for 10. Quote
+willcall Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Would be appreciative of chance to buy 5. Thanks Quote
+hydnsek Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I'd like 1 silver and 5 regular. Also sending email - thanks! Quote
+fisnjack Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 I would like 3 solid silver and 10 regular depending on the price of course. Quote
+Maverix Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Great idea! Put me down for 20 of the std coins. Quote
+The Foote Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Do I need to send an email somewhere to find out pricing? I would like atleast one of each. Maybe more depending on cost. Quote
+Orange Hippo Posted June 24, 2005 Author Posted June 24, 2005 Do I need to send an email somewhere to find out pricing? I would like atleast one of each. Maybe more depending on cost. still working on design hopefully mid july - have other things in life that seem to pop up and require attention.... anyone know how to get paid to geocache??? Quote
