+AtwellFamily Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I took an idea posted in the the forum a few weeks ago and ran with it. Will have four flavors when I done. Just excited by the recent artwork, so I had to post. No pre-orders yet just a preview. Other flavors to come; GeoGrape and Sour DNF. Work with a few on the flavors. Packaging and presentation will be unique as well. Quote Link to comment

keewee01 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Mike, you are just full of great ideas ... It's going to cost you a fortune! Edited January 20, 2007 by keewee01 Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 These are really cute. Looking forward to them. What size do you anticpate them being? Quote Link to comment
+CachingCoins Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Made me smile I'd be in for a couple of each flavor! Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 These are really cute. Looking forward to them. What size do you anticpate them being? Depending on cost, the size of a pack of gum. 1 x 4. Quote Link to comment

Depending on cost, the size of a pack of gum. 1 x 4. Well, that puts me out. Anything longer/bigger than 2.25 and I typically skip. I'll hope that the price is too high and these end up being 1 x 2 instead Quote Link to comment
+stepshep Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Depending on cost, the size of a pack of gum. 1 x 4. Well, I'll have to buy a special rigid case for it. The artwork is amazing! Quote Link to comment

The artwork is amazing! If I make the coin 1x2 it doesn't look realistic. If i make the coin 1/2 x 2 the text will be to small. 3/4 x 3 may be a choice. Quote Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 4 or 3 inches long! Whoa! That is big. I really like the artwork but probably will not get a coin that big. That may just put it out of my price range too. Quote Link to comment
+Tank Hounds Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I like these too. I typically like coins that aren't "round". Quote Link to comment
Team Macha Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 neat idea....very large...therefore....I want one My seggestion is to sell them seperately and in a set because they look like they will be expensive in a set and people tend to go for singles more than sets (at least from what I have seen).

thespongefactor Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Good idea- 3/4 x 3 might be the way to go for some caches. Quote Link to comment
+Degai Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I love the idea. . . . . .I would definitely be in for your geolicious! Quote Link to comment

+AtwellFamily Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Jake at Coin Swag has picked this up and will be producing them. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Jake at Coin Swag has picked this up and will be producing them. Do you know if he's going to try to change your original dimensions at all? Just curious cause while I really do like the artwork, I don't like the thought of a 4" coin. Quote Link to comment
+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 That will look even better with our Team Pez geocoin. Great design! Quote Link to comment

We talked about 2" - 2.5" long. Made a few minor changes to the artwork to make the text bigger and such. There will be a total of 4 flavors. Quote Link to comment

That's a better size to manage I'm looking forward to these. Such a neat concept! Quote Link to comment
+chaosmanor Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Whatever the size, we're probably in! We'll probably give a couple of them to our grandkids who cache, as well. In fact, you should consider some way of getting these into kids' hands, some sort of special pricing, or something. Young cachers are the future of our hobby. Oooo...! I just had an idea, but not being creative artistically, I've no idea if it would work. Because a pack of gum has several pieces inside, can you work up something where the whole pack "breaks" into five pieces? There are precedents for this. This might not be the time for this idea, but maybe for a future geocoin. Quote Link to comment
+Team JSAM Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The coins will be 2" (50mm), I would have loved to see this coin in a 3 or 4 inch but that just makes for a expensive coin and also pretty much eliminates the possibility of ever finding one in a cache. There will be a total of four coins, each with their own icon, the first coin should be up for grabs in about 3-4 weeks then the next coin in the series will follow about every 3-4 weeks. If you liked the two designs that were posted just wait until you see the DNF version that Jamie and Mike came up with they did a great job on the coins it will be a fun project.

I had gotten pricing for over labeling a real pack of gum with a Geolicious label. Quote Link to comment
