Possible New Coin, Looking For Trading Interest

[+nicolo]

I've loved this engraving for years, appreciating Agostino Carracci's use of Cupid and Pan to reference Virgil's words "Omnia Vincit Amor" or "Love Conquers All", a bit cliche nowadays but still a nice implementation by Carracci.

 

For a brief comment on teh engraving see Omnia Vincit Amor

 

Below is the artwork that I sent to Coins and Pins and am waiting for a quote but, before I get TOO serious about placing an order, I want to get an idea of how many people would be interested in trades. I appreciate that not much on the coin, certainly not the subject, is geocaching related. Hence my inquiry wrt interest.

 

I plan on making 100 - 150 and will trade 50 - 100.

 

Any interest?

 

[+Damenace]

Alright I stand corrected , I didn't even notice your name on the back side. When I first looked I saw no hint of Caching, did you add your name after the fact ? I would be happy to trade .

I'd trade for one since it's a siggy item with your geonick on it, but I woudn't be interested in purchasing one.

[+Ladycacher]

I will also trade if it's your personal coin. I do think the art would be beautiful on a coin.

[hirlas]

very nice! That's the beauty of making your own coin, it can reflect the mood of the cacher. I'd buy/trade one.

Yeah, that's how I feel, a bit of a selfish indulgence I know, but if people are interested in trades, then both sides win.

[Parrolet]

I would be either way as well.

[+Nomad and the Librarians]

I'd trade, if and when.

[+TeamMaddog]

I am interested in a trade, I love the coin. See my profile for list.

[+WWC-World's Worst Cacher]

I would be interested in a trade

[+CacheDragons]

I would be up for a trade

[+DLiming]

Thanks

Might have to put a ---> <--- over top of Pan's thingy though...

[+Mauison]

It should be an interesting 3-D coin, but personally, I'd pass.

Whoa Nicolo, cover the twig an' berries!

[ParentsofSAM]

I know it is art and all but my kids enjoy my coin collection as much as I do so I agree about covering up the thingys!! If you do I would probably trade with you..... ;)

[+Night_Hawk]

I'd be interested in trading.

 

And I say don't cover anything up, stay true to the art and your ideals. if someone doesn't like it they can pass up getting one.

I agree, do not cover it up. It's a work of art and already seen in every school library with an art history book. Besides, it's your coin, your statement and your personal mark. Go for it

[+Cornerstone4]

I'd trade as well.

[+Prairiepartners]

Is this one going to be 3D??

 

I'd say maybe not kid friendly, but yes I'd be interested in trading for 1.

[+Marky]

I would almost have to see a photo proof of the coin first. This one could be either awesome or really bad, depending on the execusion. Of course, I'll trade for any coin even if it's ugly.

Agreed. The above is just the artwork, I'd want a photo of the proof as well.

 

It seems as if there's enough interest for me to proceed to the next step, which is

to wait for a quote/etc. from Coins and Pins ... which I'm doing already, doh!

What makes you say it's not kid friendly?? Every kid I know has already seen "thingy's" and more. Furthermore most kids like to run around nude (up to certain ages anyway). There is (should be) nothing embarassing or "wrong" about nudity. The human body is a beautiful thing. (IMHO)
