+Dr. Whoever Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 About 10 of my caching pals and I have been toying with this idea for a while now and had some artwork drawn up. We are wanting to get another CHEAP and plentiful coin out that will fit anywhere. MICRO seemed to be the answer. Looking for ideas, re-do's, etc? Is this one good as is? Would this one be out in caches instead of books at events? OK Californians, is this something we would like to have out in the caching world? Looking at getting these out (if it's a go) at around $4.00 each and of course a discount for package sets. Send in all of your comments please. Quote Link to comment
+Moozer Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I like the bear, but find the writing on the state outline to be too hard to read. Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment
+Moosiegirl Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Will they come with their own magnifying glass? Nice design! Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Considering it's a 1" coin, I think the wording on the front could be completely omitted. Also since you have the flag that depicts CA already, the state image isn't absolutely necessary either. I think with these two edits, and in hard enamel, this could be a sharp micro.

How about the words over the metallic blazing sun? Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The words "Micro coin" are kind of redundant. How about "Sunshine State" instead. Quote Link to comment
+Cog&Gil Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 We like the design. Agree that the lettering could be omitted but we'd like the "2007" to remain. Quote Link to comment

+Kealia Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 If you haven't already, may I suggest contacting Marky who did California's micro last year? Quote Link to comment

+Dave_W6DPS Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 ... How about "Sunshine State" instead. Because then it would need to be a Florida coin... I like the original design, and would just make the lettering dark--maybe the dark blue already used. Dave_W6DPS Quote Link to comment

Dave_W6DPS Agreed, Sunshine is FL, Golden State should stick and maybe raised lettering with a dark (blue or black) center with raised edges. I ran this past a group of cachers I work with and they thought maybe shrinking the state to fit inside the center of the shining sun. More thoughts and ideas welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 We've had one in the works for a while. We've been bouncing ideas off of local geocoin collectors and have the design pretty much done. We were planning on offering them for sale like we did last time (in cheap bulk packs at cost), but if there is going to be another 2007 California Micro, then we'll probably not offer this one for sale and mint a smaller number for us to release and trade. --Marky Quote Link to comment

Let's go with the one that's in the works already. we'll put this one on the back burner for a while Quote Link to comment
+007BigD Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 When they get off the back burner- I want one ! But I think you should leave the state symbol-I Like It! Maybe do the writing in black so its easier too read or at least on the gold. I like the sun, but am fond of the compass sign- I know there is a lot of compass coins, but it looks good and fits the occasion. Maybe instead of "Micro geocoin" you could call it the Cali Micro geocoin, or the Micro Cali coin. Just some thoughts, but I do like the state symbol on there. - Hope this helps Quote Link to comment
