avroair Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Ello everyone, I am once again putting on GONE Caching 2 regional event. I have designed a coin for the event, but wanted to get feedback on it before I mint it. Any thoughts on the design? (trackable at www.geocaching.com will be added) The coins will be black nickel. (possibly glow in the dark). Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I like that. The owls are a nice touch. Hope us non-attendees will be able to purchase them again. Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 They both look good, the Camp Glen Gray side particularly. If I were to make any change at all it might be to remove the outer blue, gray and black rings from the two owls side and increase the size of the owls and orange rings and text until they fill the whole back to show more detail. It's a good design either way and I'd love to have one so I'll have to see if Fox and Moun10Girl have that weekend open Good job! Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I like that. The owls are a nice touch. Hope us non-attendees will be able to purchase them again. Ditto the above! CF30 Link to comment
+nielsenc Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I think the glow in the dark eyes on the back side would be cool. nielsenc Link to comment

avroair Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 I think the glow in the dark eyes on the back side would be cool. nielsenc Good idea! Yes that was the intention. The eyes would glow. The band on the left side is now green and would also glow. Link to comment

I like this design more each time I see it Link to comment
avroair Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) It grows on ya doesn't it! (posted a smaller version of the coin) the green would glow in the dark, you can hang 20 of them off branches to scare cachers doing night caches! Edited July 20, 2006 by avroair Link to comment
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Great design! We would be interested in some! LOVE the idea of the glow in the dark eyes! Link to comment

avroair Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 The event is in Northern New Jersey and Newark International airport is only 20 miles away. G.O.N.E. Caching 2! Link to comment

That's going to look like a big green eyeball staring at us in the dark! Very cool, can't wait to see one and I sure hope we can be there! Link to comment
+CacheHunters42 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Where are you having these coins minted? Link to comment
avroair Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Oakcoins, a GONE committee member is handling it. (I just design them) Link to comment
+The Moops Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Instead of having "Trackable at www.geocaching.com" twice in the green ring, you could put the coords or the GC number of the event there. Just a thought. Edited for spelling Edited July 21, 2006 by The Moops Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Instead of having "Trackable at www.geocaching.com" twice in the green ring, you could put the coords or the GC nuimber of the event there. Just a thought. Good idea! Link to comment
avroair Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 I asked for the text change: GC number on one side so I will see if the minter is paying attention. hehe great suggestions people. thanks! Link to comment
+The Blind Acorn Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I like the coin and echo AtlantaGals' sentiment of being able to get one w/o attending. Link to comment
