+KirklandExplorers Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I grew up in ND and live in Washington at this time. I would like to design a ND coin as I don't want my homestate to feel left out! Is anybody interested in helping me design a coin? Some thoughts include: Image of the state on one side with state flower or bird on it for some color. The other side could include a 3d image of the Badlands or something like that? I would foot the bill to mint the limited production of the coin and collect as the coins are ordered. Quote
+carleenp Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I am useless at design, but I would definitely buy 4-5 coins. Quote
+KC0GRN Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 count me in for a couple coins. As far as designing, does anyone know if there's a state association for North Dakota? Gotta be some cachers there with an interest. Otherwise, I'm from Minnesota myself, which is connected to the state, and I guess if there's a need to help design a coin, I'd be help out. Quote
+Go JayBee Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 North Dakota? Hmmmmm.........let's see. Do they have an Buffalo out there? How about an Indian Theme? At any rate, I too would like to be remembered as being interested for at least 10 coins. Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 13, 2005 Author Posted July 13, 2005 Ok folks! I will throw something together and start the design! I wonder how you depict 20 below looking for a frozen cache under 2 feet of snow... How about the slogan "Freezing our Caches Off!" Quote
+Spencersb Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 How about the slogan "Freezing our Caches Off!" I'm in for 3! No ideas on design, though. Quote
Electric Mouse Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 count me in for a couple coins. As far as designing, does anyone know if there's a state association for North Dakota?

There are no caching groups in North Dakota. It would be nice to see one form there as they are starting to get some park policies and such. Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 14, 2005 Author Posted July 14, 2005 So what type of policies have you seen or are hearing about? Quote
+Mr. Fantastic Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 My order would be contingent upon pricing, but I would probbably like at least 2. Quote
The Rubicon Brothers Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Lets get them made and on the way. Put the Brothers on the list for (4) Four of the ND coins. Hee Haw Quote
+Nurse Dave Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Hey, if you just put "ND" on there instead of North Dakota I can use them as my personal coin! Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 14, 2005 Author Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) I am laughing about the photo and using ND for Nurse dave The front I like an idea of a cowboy on a horse with a scenic backdrop with the state outline. I like the idea of Freezing our Cache off for the backside of the coin , pun intended. Edited July 14, 2005 by KirklandExplorers Quote
+tin-ear Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 How about a reference to the Lewis and Clark stay at Fort Mandan, or the fur trade era, it was also a crossroads of the northern plains trade between many Indian tribes, British, and Americans. I would also be interested in buying 5. Quote
+Nurse Dave Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 I am laughing about the photo and using ND for Nurse dave HEY!!! Quote
+Utahbill Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 I would be interested in 5 coins. Thanks Utahbill Quote
+Stuck on WGS84 Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Maybe the first GeoIceCube? In either case I'd be in for 5. Quote
+wifireman Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Can put me down for 2 when its order time. Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 14, 2005 Author Posted July 14, 2005 I just sent an initial design to Aaron. I asked for an outline of the state in green with North Dakota in curved letters at top, the word Summer in curved letters at the bottom. An outline of the state on the face with a colorful Meadow Lark image with 2005 next to it. On the back the image of the Cowboy and horse with "Official GeoCaching Vehicle" for lettering. This can change but is an initial start. I expect to create this coin and then one more for each season down the road. Quote
+SirGerald Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 We are in the first stages of putting together a Geocoin Buying Group here in Utah. We will probably be making a bulk order. Quantity to be determined but right now looks to be around 35. Several of the people in the group have already expressed an interest in this coin and their individual orders will be replaced by our bulk order. Confused yet? Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 15, 2005 Author Posted July 15, 2005 Great! Once I have the design down I will get a list together and give everyone a chance to buy them. Don't worry about putting your name down yet. Quote
+MO Outdoorfamily Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Please count me in for 3-5 depending on final price. Quote
+CENT5 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I love the "Freezing our Cache Off". Will take 5-10 as long as the other side doesn't have ND with a rubber glove. Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 19, 2005 Author Posted July 19, 2005 Now that is funny! Maybe they could be shipped in a latex glove The design is coming along nicely. Hopefully in the next week I will have one to post when back from the artist. Quote
+GrnXnham Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Side 1---tumbleweed Side 2---telephone pole Now THAT'S North Dakota. BTW, I'm from Montana. Quote
+Mountain_Wanderer Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I would like 5 or so, unless I have already said that. Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 That is funny considering we import all of our tumbleweeds from the state to the west of us and we don't really have anyone to call! Quote
+Jerseytrex Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 Well I dont know anything about ND except that its pretty cold there. I would probably try and emphasize the enormity of the state by making a sceninc backdrop with huge wide open sky above. And like you said a cowboy on a horse. Maybe put a river through it.... I would try and collect some pictures of landscapes as that will probably make it easier to visualize the layout. Good Luck. Jerseytrex Quote
+fluffy&itchy Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I will be happy to order 1 coin when they become available. Quote
+bluegillfisherman Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 I would be pleased to have two when available. Thanks. bgf Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 Glad to see some interest in the coin! I have a design in the works and will hopefully have a proof back in the next week. It includes an outline of the state, North Dakota Summer 2005, the compass rose, a couple of 3d images (bison, sunflower, meadowlark) on front and a cowboy on a horse with "Geocaching Adventures Western Style" on the back in a 3d image. I expect to create a winter coin too when this one is sold. Stay tuned! Quote
+bullit Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Looks cool Please put the GBA coin club down for about 60-70 coins. Thanks! Quote
+KevinG68 Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Put me down for 2. Maybe more after pricing. Quote
+KirklandExplorers Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 I will put everyone's name down on the list that has replied here and post it shortly. I plan on minting 500 to begin the process at this time. Quote
