+Geocachew Nuts Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Well...lets see. I have decided to have my own coin made. About done and ready to mint. Corey, (mrcogeocoin) i think was kind enough to host my pic on his site so i could post it here. So here it is...and i am open to any last minute ideas on the coin, finishes, etc. My favorite coin is the New Mexico coin that is satin gold and sandblasted. So i think this will be similar. I will have two holes in it (the black circles on both sides of the coin) so you can attach a tag or i was thinking tie some leather through the holes. I thought that might be cool and different. Well....thats it for now, let me know what you think! Aaron Geocachew Nuts P.S. I was thinking of calling it "GeezNuts" coin. ha ha ha Quote
+chrisgun Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 It's lovely!! Will it be for sale or trade? Please put me down for one Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Nice! I might have something to trade with in the next month or two myself <----- CF30 Edited September 18, 2006 by Crowesfeat30 Quote
+Tank Hounds Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I'd also like one...I do have a trade if you are interested, if not I will buy. Quote
+ranger216 Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I am in for 2 of these.. very nice Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Very nice. I'd purchase 2 depending on pricing. Quote
+avroair Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Nice! Are the two black spots actual holes or just black? Quote
+whitebear Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I'd like to trade for a couple of my coins if interested. Quote
+chaosmanor Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I like these pretty-much just as they are Incorporating the hole into the design is a nice touch, too. About the only thing that I wonder about is if it is possible to make the central designs on each size a bit larger. The leaf, in particular, would stand out better if it were about half-again as large. Speaking of the leaf (aspen?), is it particularly symbolic of RMNP? Never been there, so don't know. I'm just curious, but assume that it means something, else I would have expected a mountain. Put us down for three, possibly more, depending upon cost. Quote
danoshimano Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Put me down for a couple! (Did anybody else notice the leaf jumping in your peripheral vision when you read the text above? Kind of an optical illusion, or perhaps just my brain acting up again.) Quote
+Rattlingcrew Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Pretty cool, we would like six, thanks! Glen Quote
+Geocachew Nuts Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 wow! thanks for the great reception i have gotten. thanks corey for updating the "holes" in the coin on the image. i am going to get 100 done, sell them and then get the other 150 done and sell most of them. i will be willing to trade a few! does anyone have a new mexico coin? they are trackable (of course!) and will soon have a custom icon.... i am sending payment so hopefully coin will be done soon. thats it for now!

+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Nice coin! We would like 6 also. Quote

BTW,that is an Aspen leaf,the Quaking Aspen is the Co.State tree. Quote
+Team Laxson Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Nice Design! We'd be in for a few. Always willing to support another Colorado cacher! Quote
+Geocachew Nuts Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 well....i mailed payment for the first batch of 100 coins. when i sell most or all of them i will be able to get the other batch of 150 done. will post pics of the "sample" coins when i get them. i will update with any new info! thanks again, and hello to team laxson! will try and keep track of who spoke up first as i think (hope) these will sell quickly!

+MrCOgeo Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) ... BTW,that is an Aspen leaf,the Quaking Aspen is the Co.State tree. Not to harp on this point, but the Official (It's as Official as Official can be) Colorado Tree is actually theColorado Blue Spruce But we Coloradoans unofficially adopt the Aspen as our "official" decidious tree (That Gambel Oak is more of a weed in my opinion ;-P) Edited: Fur Spelling Edited September 19, 2006 by MrCOgeo Quote

+Geocachew Nuts Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 ok, these first 100 wont last long for sure! i checked with my coin manuf. and they said it will be "gritty" instead of "sandblasted". and the finish will be polished gold, just like the new mexico coin i love so much! Quote
