+crake Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Here's a higher resolution version. I have a minor correction to make to the upper compass. Also I triple checked my spelling on all of the countries, but now I know others will check too! Quote

keewee01 Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Ditto - what they all said!! Chris' coins are the real WOW (not Vista!!) - IMHO of course Quote
+Toojin Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Darn it there you go again... just when I am doing well (kinda sorta) at not buying coins You up and create another gorgeous one.... How will I ever meet the eyes of the budget police... Quote
+Big JohnP Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I'll also be looking out for this one. Very nice. Quote
Team Macha Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 How do you do it Chris? You totally amaze me when you come up with gorgeous designs. I especially love how it is the plain metal no color, I think it adds elegance. I'll be watching for this one. Wow! Quote
+crake Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 What's this symbol? Forum icon - go up to the main forums and look at the icons for GPS Garage Sale, GPS and Ham Radio, etc. Quote

I especially love how it is the plain metal no color, I think it adds elegance. I'll be watching for this one. Wow! The thought was "What can I do as a followup to Tracking Time?" and then this idea came to me. There are designs that just happen where I sketch an idea, hop onto my computer, knock it out in very little time, and I know its gonna be great. Then there are designs that I struggle with for months. Symbology was one of the former! Also I've grown to really love antiqued finish and multi-layer designs. 3D effects at 2D pricing, plus the use of the dark antiqued areas instead of color... Quote
+MommyFinder Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Simply stunning, as usual. I'm in! Quote
+PengoFamily Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Hello! That's a very nice looking coin!! I hope that you may have some aside for trades too??? Quote
+creacher Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Awesome coin! Hope you are making plenty of them, this one will sell out QUICK! Cant wait to add one to my collection... Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Really, really nice job on this one! How many levels of height in metal of this design? Quote
+9Key Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Nice coin Chris. Its more of a celebration of geocaching.com though, not the game as a whole. This is just one of several listing sites. Quote
+crake Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Its more of a celebration of geocaching.com though, not the game as a whole. This is just one of several listing sites. Ah, but Groundspeak owns the trademark to the term Geocaching. So Geocaching is Geocaching.com. Quote

Ah, but Groundspeak owns the trademark to the term Geocaching. So Geocaching is Geocaching.com. And at least for me, it's my experience of geocaching. (Really? They own the term? Interesting.) Oh, and OT: want one, want one, want one.... Quote
+OshnDoc Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Very nice coin. Will you trade or only sell? Quote

Ah, but Groundspeak owns the trademark to the term Geocaching. So Geocaching is Geocaching.com. Are you sure about that? I seem to remember that being discussed in the forums a couple of years ago and the crux was that since the term had entered into general usage it could not be trademarked. >Linky< Edited January 31, 2007 by 9Key Quote

Well if you look on the main GC.com website, do you see anywhere the ™ symbol on the word geocaching? Quote
+Team Honeybunnies Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Veeerrry nice! We'll be patiently waiting to join the reservation list . So just how would one come upon an XLE? Quote
+JackSparrowCaptain Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) THIS IS GOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSS! Edited January 31, 2007 by JackSparrowCaptain Quote
+crake Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Not that it changes anything, or that I really care all that much, but check out USPTO trademark serial number 78045228. Edited since the original link expired. Edited January 31, 2007 by crake Quote
+OshnDoc Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Not that it changes anything, or that I really care all that much, but check out this USPTO entry. I would say that settles that . Quote
+9Key Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Fair enough. I guess JI recinded his remarks from 2001. Quote
+Degai Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) As usual, you have another beautifully detailed coin. Your attention to detail is spectacular! Can't wait for this one and I sure hope I don't miss out. Edited January 31, 2007 by Degai Quote
+fairyhoney Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 You keep wowwing us with your talent!!! Quote
+tiki Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Super coin! Quik question - where will the tracking # appear? Very tight design! Tiki Edit - upon closer examination I am guessing in the upper back on the rim - where there is a little blank spot? Edited February 1, 2007 by tiki Quote
+GenCuster Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Can we pre-order please? I'd like 3. And (unlike some coins with maps) it has 'New Zealand' on it! Quote
+SWx4 Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 It's beautiful.. can't wait to add it to my collection. Quote
+crake Posted February 1, 2007 Author Posted February 1, 2007 > Tracking Number My photos always have the tracking number area blank, but yes - the space between the diamonds on the reverse will be the tracking number, nice and large and easy to read! > New Zealand Well, the words at least > Preorder Not yet, but don't worry... you'll have plenty of opportunity to get this guy. > Way-too-nice-comments Thanks everyone Quote
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 AWESOME design and the DETAIL! WOW!!! This is DEFINATELY a must have! Great work! Quote
LoriDarlin Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 oohh LaLa!!! I bet'cha our coin club will be doing a small run of this one....especially since our leader loves symbology!!! Beautiful coin....again....Chris!!! Quote
+crake Posted February 2, 2007 Author Posted February 2, 2007 OK, here's the dirt on availability... I plan to have some with me at the TX Challenge in mid-March. Then orders will ship to others in the weeks following. So if you're going to the challenge, come find me - I'll be on the CenTex team helping keep the title! Quote
+Team chelmo Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I don't think I will make it there But I will be hangin' out to get some of these beaut coins in hand. Still not sleeping... but when I do... I'm dreaming... of... A Copper Symbology Coin Quote
+chaosmanor Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 My photos always have the tracking number area blank, but yes - the space between the diamonds on the reverse will be the tracking number, nice and large and easy to read! Thank you!! My eyes aren't as young as they once were But then, we've traded a couple of e-mails on this topic, so you know how I feel about nice, big tracking numbers Looking forward to getting a few of these. Budget? What's a budget? Quote
