+jevans7 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I like it let me know when your taking orders Pirates,Steelers but what NFL team is the Penguins Quote Link to comment
+Bunya Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Great coin! But I’m a bit puzzled. A penguin (stuck?) coming out of an igloo? Penguins – southern hemisphere. Igloos – northern hemisphere. I’m all for the inclusion of something from the southern hemisphere, but why like this? Quote Link to comment
+TMOCM Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Great coin! But I’m a bit puzzled. A penguin (stuck?) coming out of an igloo? Penguins – southern hemisphere. Igloos – northern hemisphere. I’m all for the inclusion of something from the southern hemisphere, but why like this? You are correct, except that the arena (Mellon Arena) the Pittsburgh Penguins play in is referred to as "The Iglo". The fact that the penquin is stuck I'm sure has more to do with the fact that the hockey team is stuck in a small, old facility and are desperately trying to get out of it into a new arena. OK, enough of the hockey team problems. Oops! Almost forgot to mention that I love the coin, can't wait to trade! Edited February 4, 2007 by TMOCM Quote Link to comment

+steel city babes Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Great coin! But I’m a bit puzzled. A penguin (stuck?) coming out of an igloo? Penguins – southern hemisphere. Igloos – northern hemisphere. I’m all for the inclusion of something from the southern hemisphere, but why like this? Okay, We just wanted to clarify our reasons behind our personal geocoin...so no one is puzzled. WE, the Steel City Babes, are from Pittsburgh, PA. I personally came up with the idea for the design and had a designer make it happen. The front of the coin depicts all the major professional sports teams based in Pittsburgh as YemonYime, Anthus, and TMOCM alluded to in their posts. WE are active fans of all the major professional sports in Pittsburgh. (Football -Steelers, Hockey- Penguins, and Baseball- Pirates) We attempted to create a coin that depicted our roots here in Pittsburgh and was cache related. The "igloo" is very much symbolic of the name given to the Arena where the Penguins play hockey. Which in Pittsburgh is a hot topic considering this may be the last season the Penguins are in Pittsburgh do to the fact the "Igloo" is the oldest playing venue in the NHL and the owners are looking to move the Penguins to a city with a newer arena. I personally would be bummed ....Love the Penguins. The post by OROBORUS - "Very nice! Does the map depict a real cache location?" Got us thinking about the 3 Rivers of Pittsburgh, which are very much a part of Pittsburgh's geography....as indicated in our response to OROBORUS's post... "It very well could considering we are the city with 3 rivers." I have contacted the designer at this time to update the Treasure map on the backside of the coin to hopefully represent the confluence of the 3 rivers of Pittsburgh. I got a few e-mails from pghlooking and TMOCM referencing the same point. SO stay tuned for updated artwork for the backside of the coin. Well hopefully this puts things in perspective for those wondering where we were coming from in regards to the design. We want to thank everyone for their kind words on the design and off course the suggestions. Now on to the details: All I know at this time is I will be selling them personally there will be 250 of these trackable coins minted with their own icon. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have a response to bvnlj’s post, (which I know you are all dying to find out ) Hi Trasi, Do you have any more specifics on your "burgh" coin.... size, metals, thickness, approximate cost, and when we can expect to see them for sale? Thanks for the Pittsburgh themed coin Very nice Lois jean Please be patient I hope to have all this information posted sometime this week. Once I sign the contract (which is top priority consider the forum 'Non Authorized Anthus firefighter coins' this opened my eyes and I had a lot of questions), I will begin taking orders through my e-mail. Once the coins are in my possession, I will then send pay pal invoices to the customer's who have pre-ordered and we will go from there. Hopefully this is a little more specific and answers some questions about the actual design. Any additional questions please feel free to post and I will respond in a more timely manner. I didn't want to post any replies, until everyone out there, had a chance to view and make suggestions for our very 1st personal geocoin. Thanks once again, Steel City Babes Trasi SCB#8 Quote Link to comment

+OshnDoc Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I would like to get an email about the coins once they become available. Purchase or trade. Quote Link to comment
+Team Sand Dollar Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Will you be doing any trading? If so I would suggest you decide ahead of time how many you will be trading and establishing those trades early. This way you will be able to trade for the coins you want for your collection. Too many times I have not been able to establish a trade with the owner only to have them come back later wanting to trade. By then I have excepted a trade for thier coins from someone else and unable to trade with the owner of the coin. Thanks Team Sand Dollar Quote Link to comment
