+CT Trampers Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Just gotta say that I really like the 2006 design. Can't wait to get a few.. 2006 USA Geocoin Quote Link to comment
+Big JohnP Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Yep, that is a beautiful coin. That flag would make a terrific icon, wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 That is much nicer than the standard design. Glad to see their improving the look and still keeping the cost low. Quote Link to comment
+ScoutingWV Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Very nice design. Maybe use the eagle as the icon?? Quote Link to comment
YemonYime Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Curious to know if there would actually be a new icon, or if these will included with the standard "cent"? Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I just hope the artist doesn't leave his signature on the coin, like on some of the other ones out there. Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Answer to a couple of quick questions. 1. As of now they will use the same icon. 2. The artist signature will not appear on the coin. Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 WOW, that is a nice looking coin. Can't wait to have a few of those!!! Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Will the coin be in colour or just relief? Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Will the coin be in colour or just relief? The same as the 2005 coins. Kind of the same tone as the Golden Dollar coins. We have decided to keep the coins uncolored to keep the prices low and to help them continue to be traveling coins. Quote Link to comment
+qattales Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 that is a very nice job on the coin. Quote Link to comment
+Chaos A.D./aka Arlsdaddy Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Best one yet IMO Quote Link to comment

+AV Dezign Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I just hope the artist doesn't leave his signature on the coin, like on some of the other ones out there. Why would having the artist's sig on the coin be a problem? Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 thank you for correcting me I tried No problem. I just didn't want to get hit with a bunch of "Hey, why can't I order?" questions. :-) Quote Link to comment

Why would having the artist's sig on the coin be a problem? I think it would be cool if the artist left a sig or intials or something. I would not want it to take a ton of space or stick out... but a small well place signature would be cool... it only adds to the uniqueness of the coin Quote Link to comment
+Big JohnP Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 thank you for correcting me I tried And he was going to add: "in all metals". Quote Link to comment
+Deliveryguy428 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I now have a new reason to think StressMaster is totally awesome. First I got to see a lot of his wicked cache hides in Fl now he is rocking it out with the coin design. So what is the time table for ordering? Quote Link to comment

Why would having the artist's sig on the coin be a problem? Because the way he signed other coins I have, is, in my opinion, a total eye sore. It wasn't incorporated into the image at all.

+MO Outdoorfamily Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I now have a new reason to think StressMaster is totally awesome. First I got to see a lot of his wicked cache hides in Fl now he is rocking it out with the coin design. So what is the time table for ordering? Yes Stressmaster is awesom when it come to coins and very generous too. I haven't had teh pleasure of finding any of his caches since I live in Missouri but he did created the design for the first Military/Veterans Geocoin we are working on (for a club project, please don't start emailing me wanting to know how to get one, they aren't even minted yet and when they are you will have the most luck finding someone to trade with). Not only is he good at coin design he willingly offered to help me with design of the Outdoorfamily coin when I posted that I had ideas but not the software or talent to put it into something of a coin before sending preliminary art to the mint. He took my ideas and put them together and was very patient with my requests to try totally different ideas (probably emailed me about 15 different potentials between the front and back side). I now have approved art with Coins & Pins and through all this SM has not asked for any form of payment. For my thanks he will be getting couple of each metal of the Outdoorfamily coins without trading for them. [] Quote Link to comment
+DM500HD Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Indeed a very nice design. An eagle icon will be wonderfull! Quote Link to comment
+StressMaster Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Just wanted to say Thanks for all the positive comments.. I cant wait to see the finished coin. Quote Link to comment

+NorthWes Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Awesome design on the 2006 USA coin - and I like the 'all-metal' reasoning too. I just noticed my USA coin icon has updated to a variation on the American Flag w/USA across it - it rocks! (Of course, being an English-born American, I was thrilled to see my UK coin's new icon as well!). Job well-done, Stressmaster... Quote Link to comment
+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I agree great design, can't wait to order. I wish I had kept a regular 2005 coin. I sent both mine travelling, D'oh. I'll have to get one later. Quote Link to comment

Thank Stressmaster again for designing the icon. Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Thank you for the icon. It even showed up for the 2005 coins. Quote Link to comment

SCP-173 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Guess I have to be the stick in the mud. I can't say I'm a fan of the new icon. So much for the plain old icon being the "original". Guess I'm just a sucker for preserving history. And what's with the extra red bar on the bottom? It kind of throws the whole thing off. Quote Link to comment
+Bambi&Thumper Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Yep, I don't like it much either. 2 Things: - Don't think it's necessary to put "USA" on the icon, I mean, any cacher who doesn't recognise the USA flag must have been living with his head under a rock! - The icon is a bit uninspired; I prefer the circular stylised flag that I saw on one of the posts, it was lovely and really did the coin justice. But then I'm from the UK, so I bet no-one cares what I think! Bambi. Quote Link to comment
+Fundamental Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) Is the icon coming to change someday like Colorado did? EDIT: Oh it already has. Nice!!! Edited December 31, 2005 by Fundamental and Venlis Quote Link to comment
