Team Macha Posted January 31, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+crake Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share 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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Simply stunning, as usual. I'm in! Quote Link to comment
+PengoFamily Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hello! That's a very nice looking coin!! I hope that you may have some aside for trades too??? Quote Link to comment
+creacher Posted January 31, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Really, really nice job on this one! How many levels of height in metal of this design? Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted January 31, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment

+OshnDoc Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Very nice coin. Will you trade or only sell? Quote Link to comment

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 Link to comment

Well if you look on the main GC.com website, do you see anywhere the ™ symbol on the word geocaching? Quote Link to comment

+crake Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share 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 Link to comment
+OshnDoc Posted January 31, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment

+tiki Posted February 1, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+GenCuster Posted February 1, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment

+crake Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share 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 Link to comment

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 Link to comment
+Team chelmo Posted February 2, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
+chaosmanor Posted February 2, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
