+UOTrackers Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 This design has been sitting on my desktop for awhile now, it's also taken a slight change from it's original form. So I'll post both and see what ya'll think. Is it worth trying to mint? Which version is better? As you can tell it was originally just one coin, which I changed to a series, then I posted a question wondering which people prefer, singles to series...and well I'm here again which means I don't know what to do with it. OR the Series: The common side (which does need a little work with the circling text) And the 4 "back" sides (oh yeah I know the saying is similar to Jaymans recent Mail Jeep coin, I got the idea from the postman's creed, but did this awhile ago, which is another reason why I"m not sure it's worth minting.

+tsunrisebey Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'll give you my opinion. I personally like image #2 and #3. I think they would look nice on one coin, I would probably buy 2 or 3 if it was done that way but that is just me. Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm sure I'll be in the minority - but I'd like to see ideas that haven't been done yet. As you stated, it's similar to the Mailman (not sure of the actual name) coin being worked on now. And on top of that, there are 3 or 4 FTF coins already out there. I would prefer to see some concepts that haven't been done yet. I realize I may be in the vocal minority, but since ya asked... Quote Link to comment

At first I was thinking the same thing, that there's already a few FTF coins out there. But then I thought the FTF hounds probably already have all those, so I'm sure they'd appreciate some new ones. I'm assumming of course that alot of people use FTF coins as FTF prizes. Anyhoo, I like em Quote Link to comment

Trust me I have lots of ideas, they pop into my head all the time. Sometimes they are good, sometimes not so much...thanks for your opinion! Quote Link to comment

Some can't make that distinction. Quote Link to comment
+The 4 F's Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I like the idea as a single coin (first image) rather than a series. And I like how you adapted the saying to capture the eagerness some cachers have to get FTF. While there are other First To Find coins out there, this one is more than just the usual FTF "prize" coin - it actually captures the drive. I'd be interested in a few. Quote Link to comment
+MREAGLEWO1 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 maybe have the moon and stars areas be glow in the dark... it will look cool if it was Quote Link to comment

While it wasn't too rainy today, I got home after doing massage for 5 hours, had a wonderful plate of food in front of me on my desk, pulled up the "new" caches, there was one a block from my house...out the door I ran, no jacket, co-ords scribbled on a post it note, and into the car (it was too cold to walk there and back without a jacket). Arrived on location, GPS zero's in, followed the arrow...only to find 2 men digging up a trench right where the arrow says to go. Get out my phone call the hubby and chat with him a bit, finally a muggle happens along walking her dogs and asks the men some questions, no one was watching so I quickly nabbed and signed the cache and replaced it! FTF!!! WOO hoo Quote Link to comment
+Team Professor X Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I like ALL opinions, the good the bad and the dirty! Trust me I have lots of ideas, they pop into my head all the time. Sometimes they are good, sometimes not so much...thanks for your opinion! Once you pop, you can't........STOP! But try some other ideas, there're already way too much geocoins! Make great designs, special items. Not one in a hunderd next coin And yes, if you do this one, pick # 2 and 3 with glow-in-the-dark. Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I personally like image #2 and #3 and think they would look nice on one coin, also. I would probably buy 2. And the thing about glow in the dark ... Yes! Good idea!! Quote Link to comment
+Degai Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I like image #2 and #3. I love circular writing. I also like the glow in the dark moon and stars. I'd definitely buy a couple of them! Quote Link to comment
keewee01 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I like the design. If just doing one coin, then I'd replace the rain drops and wavy lines with the storm clouds & rain, and the sun repectively. Just my 2 cents worth. keewee Quote Link to comment

+9Key Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I agree with Smeagol on this one, the sample designs have been done several times on other coins. I would pass. Quote Link to comment
+The Amigos Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I like #2 and #3, but I don't like the hand in the center. If it could be an ammobox, or a gps, or something else, I would like it better. Quote Link to comment
