+Anthus Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The minter sent me a sample coin where they made the magnifying glass look like it has an actual lens in it. How cool is that. I didn't ask them to do this, they did it on their own. I think it looks so cool!! However, it's not very functional because you cannot see an image through it -- too foggy. I could not produce these for the regular coins since they are not functional. However, since I liked it so much, I decided to purchase 10 of them. I believe this is the first and only geocoin to have this feature. Below are pictures. I hope you can make it out. It's a bubble on top of the magnifying glass on the front of our coin. They look so much better in hand. Quote Link to comment
+BenGeo'en Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 What an Idea. I think it looks great!!! Quote Link to comment
+PastorDIC Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 That's really neat. Quote Link to comment
+The Dream Cachers Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Very Cool! Hope you consider making some to sell as I missed out on the first version! Quote Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 COOL...when's the regular edition of the decoder coin due out? Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 The order for the Decoders was submitted last Friday (we had a setback on getting the logo on the back approved but that's cleared up now). I expect the normal 2-3 week turnaround from the minter. The proofs turned out great. I cannot wait to ship them to everyone that ordered or traded! Quote Link to comment

+Anthus Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 So .... whaddya want for one of the 10? hmmmmm?? Thanks for the interest. I've gotten a lot of email requests for them. I'm not sure what I'll do with them for I wasn't really planning on them when I designed the Decoder. As such, I've decided not to entertain any requests at this time. I may when I have them in hand from the minter in 2 to 3 weeks. If I do anything with them it will be trade only, though. I don't plan on selling them. Thanks.....Anthus Quote Link to comment
+caderoux Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 That's cool. A similar thing was used on the terracaching coin, which has a little red gem in it. Quote Link to comment
