+J10fly Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) I haven't done a coin yet but have had tons of intersting ideas go through my head. Here is one i thought might be something intersting. Headlights would be glow in the dark. Hope this is a good start. I just drew it up tonight. Let me know what you think. Is it worth designing? Any suggestions? Jayman11 updated the artwork: Edited January 4, 2007 by jho135 Quote Link to comment
57chevy Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) It's not just a Jeep, It's a Jeep that's gone POSTAL!!!! You are so gonna sell out of these, hurry up and get em' made. Edited January 3, 2007 by 57chevy Quote Link to comment

+AtwellFamily Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Do they make round trips, would love to trade for a few. Quote Link to comment
Team Macha Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Very cool! To me it kinda represents what I wait to see everyday in the hopes that it will bring me more coins to appease my obsession. But yeah I think you should make the coin. I'd buy one. Quote Link to comment
+Fluttershy Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I thought for certain someone was going to use "Wait a Minute, Mr. Postman" in my Recording Artist's series, but no one did. I think it's a great idea, and a Cool Jeep too! We had a Jeep driving Postman when I was a teenager. He even had his Steering wheel on the opposite side, even though it was in the USA. Love your idea! Get 'er done! Quote Link to comment
+Degai Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Love your idea, I'll take one! Let me know when you get them done. Quote Link to comment

Any suggestions? Jayman11 Let's get crazy , have the door slide and show a geocoin or post man with a bubble mailer. You could incorporate the slider in the colored lines so you would see it from the front at all. edited for broken arm typing... Edited January 3, 2007 by Atwell Family Quote Link to comment
+Go JayBee Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I am so into wanting these...hurry.....get these made! Quote Link to comment
+PaHawkeye Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Those would be cool and would have to have some. Might even have to order one for my mail lady. I always get excited when she drives up to the house as opposed to just using the mailbox!! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 This is a great idea. I'd be in for a few. Quote Link to comment
+GPX Navigators Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 It's a Jeep (love 'em) and incoporates our favorite break of the day - hitting the mailbox. 'Course where we live now haven't seen that Jeep but we hold out hope the town will actually consider us worthy of a red, white & blue vehicle one day. Definitely in for some! Great idea! Quote Link to comment
+Damenace Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Alright I had a thought that I better add before someone else takes the idea. What if a Mail Box coin was minted to go along with the truck? Any thoughts? If you think this would be a good idea I would be happy to work directly with the OP if they are OK with the idea. I am not trying to take away from the OP but thought it would be fun to have them done together. If the OP is not interested in trying to get these done together I would be more than happy to persue the Mail Box on my own. Input please. Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Wow I posted this before i went to bed last night. I didnt expect it to get this many replies in such a short time. I think I will have this coin made then, since it sounds like it will do well. Anymore feedback would be great! Jayman11 Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Alright I had a thought that I better add before someone else takes the idea. What if a Mail Box coin was minted to go along with the truck? I've seen artwork for one from another cacher. Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I was thinking about the whole mailbox idea too....I want to get my first coin out of the way first and make sure it is done perfect before I do anything else. If this one does good I have a few other "interesting" designs that I might float out there also. Hopefully I can get this coin going shortly. Jayman11 Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Last thing I think.....I was thinking of just using a mini version of the mail jeep itself for the icon which should look pretty cool! Jayman11 Quote Link to comment

Any suggestions? Jayman11 Great idea, just wanted to point out one little thing, the obverse side should be for lack of better description, opposite of the front. Flip the jeep then add the words, do you see what I mean? Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 good point...i put it together last night. I will finish it probably tonight exactly how it will be but what I posted was my 90% complete thought. Thanks, Jayman11 Quote Link to comment
+chaosmanor Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Love this whole idea, but there is one potential problem. The USPS eagle emblem is a copyrighted logo, so you had best not include it, or anything even remotely like it, on the coin. There is something that looks a lot like that logo on the fender of the jeep, on the obverse. Don't think that this is a minor issue; the USPS is very protective of its priorities. BTW: We're in for a few Edited January 3, 2007 by chaosmanor Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hmmm......let me play with that little logo a bit. I have an idea.... Jayman11 Quote Link to comment

+The Amigos Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Want one, need one, gotta have one, and maybe one for my mailman, too! Great coin. Email me when ready, please!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I should be working out most of the details on this coin later tonight. I will post everything in here once I have a definate answer of how I am gonna go about this. Jayman11 Quote Link to comment
+butbyice Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) This is getting out of freaking control. What will be next. IS THERE NO END?

Jayman11 updated the artwork: Ok tweaked the artwork a little. got rid of the one logo for another on the fender, moved the trackable at geocaching.com, flipped the coins correctly and had to lose a few things that probably wouldnt make it into production. Whatya think? Jayman11 Edited January 4, 2007 by jho135 Quote Link to comment
+stepshep Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I think that the R with the circle around it next to the Geocaching.com logo is gonna be pretty small! It looks awesome! Quote Link to comment

+CachingCoins Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Common guys, not another coin I have to have! I made a New Years Resolution, NOT to buy every coin that is minted! I can't keep up with the ones I already have. Gotta get this one though! I'd kick myself from here to CA (coinfest) if I didn't put in for at least 2 of these. By the way, around here our mail is delivered by snail. (Maybe that could be your next coin.) You'd think we lived in the middle of the north pole. Actually, we had a wonderful carrier, but they took us off a permanent route & we've had problems ever since. Put me down for 2. I love it! Quote Link to comment

+fairyhoney Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Oh yeah, these coins would be SOOO appropriate. Put me down for a couple. Yes, I do believe I too might give one to my postal carrier. I think I make her day, sometimes! One thought, would you need permission from them to do this coin??? Quote Link to comment
