The type is really a bit blocky, perhaps a "lighter touch" could be tried; the maps would look better if they weren't "sphereized" (without getting into any discussions of Mercator projections, etc.); and although the shuttle is large (as someone pointed out), it needs to hold the tracking number and I think it's a nice touch. (It does "Americanize" the coin, and if a GPS satellite could be made to work for this, I think that would clinch the idea.)

 

IMHO, of course.

I like the Dillon Gang's graphics.

 

Just my two cents:

 

- Instead of a Space Shuttle have some type of satellite

 

- I like "Where on Earth is that Geocache".

 

And unless Geocaching.com has changed their guidelines, if you want to track this geocoin on their site, you have to use their logo too (like the Colorado geocoin).

 

Unless you could convince them to let to make a satalite that has the gc logo built into it.

The GPS satellites are no less American than the shuttle. GPS is free to the world, developed and paid for by the United State Department of Defense. Try again. :(

Just the stylized "G" is enough.

Maryland and the MIGO only have the "G". :ph34r:

But they could be Glonass, Galileo or EGNOS satelittes.

How would the sat.  look on the other side of the coin at the bottom?

I agree. :lol: More balance and not cramming everything on one side.

Looks great. One suggestion would be to remove "Third Rock from The Sun" and move the satellite down closer to the bottom of the coin just a hair or two. Either way it's going to be a nice looking coin.

I'll take two if I haven't already noted it somewhere else in this thread.

 

I didn't realize someone grabbed the ball and ran with it and throught it was still an art discusson.

Obviously you never saw the "Screw geocoins" thread. The guy was complaining about all the geocoin talk on the travelbug thread (before the split of topics). Then the orders started. Then I made a fake coin. And got orders.

If you search, you will find it. :)

I wonder if the people ordering coins from this thread understand that this thread is "For Amusement Only" and that there is no coin being made?

No. This coin will be made. The original "screw geocoin" was a joke. Which turned into a real screw geocoin (with the nut geocoin coming later).
