+Mandollyn Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Finally! My geocoin is now available for minting! This coin will come in Antique Silver and a Limited Edition Shiny Gold. This coin will be trackable and will feature it's own unique icon if demand is high enough! The front of the coin showcases four of the different activities a geocacher may find himself doing on the way to his next cache. The cacher on this coin and the text ringing the outer perimeter of the coin are going to be raised and the darker areas of grey will be recessed for contrast. There will also be black filling the ring of the outer perimeter. The question is: How will YOU get there? The back of the coin features three trees along with a twist on a well known phrase. When someone “Can’t see the forest for the trees,” that indicates that they are too involved in the details of a problem to look at the situation as a whole. This twist reminds fellow geocachers that they may need to step back from the details and take another look and “See the forest for the trees.” A total of 350 Antique Silver and 150 Limited Edition Shiny Gold coins are going to be produced. Preordering is made available to establish interest & as always: first come, first served. The cost per coin will be $7.50, for both Antique Silver and Shiny Gold. The shipping cost is based on the actual weight and there is a $2.00 handling fee per order (not per coin). ~ ~ ~ To preorder please go to my web page ~ ~ ~ http://www.geocities.com/vegas_russo Link to comment
+Team JSAM Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) Not bad looking I like the fact that you kept it clean I see far to many coins that look like a clip art trashcan. Edited to add: I would buy one if it has a unique icon and tracking. Edited May 9, 2006 by Team Jsam Link to comment

+Flooded Tree Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Is it just me or is it strange that someone with 4 posts and 3 finds is selling a geocoin? Link to comment
+cqdx Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I like this coin. pre order for one of each. Link to comment
Ferreter5 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Can't order from here at work 'cause the order processing site is blocked by our web proxy. Will have to try again later from home. Link to comment
+Mystery Ink Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) Is it just me or is it strange that someone with 4 posts and 3 finds is selling a geocoin? At least it has some concept towards geocaching and not just made for something that has nothing to do with it. Nice looking btw. Edited May 9, 2006 by Mystery Ink Link to comment
+Mandollyn Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 Is it just me or is it strange that someone with 4 posts and 3 finds is selling a geocoin? I was diagnosed with Cancer shortly after starting this hobby - I've had all the time in the world to sit around after surgery and design a coin. Now that I'm better, I'm rearing to go! We did go caching the weekend before last - DNF. Turns out the coordinates were wrong & it has been disabled for now. Caching this weekend!!! Maybe even tonight?! Hope you trust my intentions. My eBay ID is MrsMartini if you have reservations about me. Link to comment

+JMBIndy Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Is it just me or is it strange that someone with 4 posts and 3 finds is selling a geocoin? What's the difference between 3 finds or 300 finds? When is it appropriate to create your own coin? Granted, I only have 7 finds, but if I had been able to do so, I would have designed and minted a coin of my own for a signature item. As for posts, someone whose been caching a long time could be a new person here. Dare I say it? There are other sites out there. Mandollyn: Great coin. I've pre-ordered one of each. Link to comment
+The Klever Boys Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Very nice coin - ordered two golds. Mandollyn: Web form didn't have a space for the country, so have put "UK" in the state field. Presumably that's not a problem as the address can be obtained via the Paypal information? Thanks, Russ Link to comment
