+AtwellFamily Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) I have designed another coin, this time the Colorado 2007 Geocoin. Please provide feedback on your likes and dislikes and suggestions you may have, especially looking for input form fellow Colorado cachers. There is a discussion on this local forum page as well. Part of the discussion is having two different backs like the Ontario 2006 coin. Please come one come all, any input is apprciated. Edited March 3, 2007 by Atwell Family Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I like backside #2 better. The dino doesn't do much for me. Quote Link to comment
+ChadsClan Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Being from Colorado, originally, I always like the "old" license plate better. The one w/ the green mountains and the white sky. I've never seen a green sky anywhere. Also, I think the Columbine (state flower) would be a nice thing to have on this, if you shrunk the stegosaurus, or something? Just a couple thoughts.

+AtwellFamily Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Forgot to add some comments about the design. The white on the front would be recessed with some texture in the mountaains to give depth. The dino would be 3D raised and would to antique or two-tone. Not quite sure on the birds and butterfly but may do silk screen or photo etched with soft enamel. The holes for the bolts will be cutout. Looking for size around 1x2 (proportional to real plate).

+jevans7 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Nice coin i will take 1-2 of each. Seen a Colorado plat the other day sky was purple. Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Nice coin i will take 1-2 of each. Seen a Colorado plat the other day sky was purple. This is the standard color but there are a ton of colors and options. I in fact have a yellow plate that was authorised by the university I graduated from. No it doesn't have a buffalo on it.

+creacher Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I like the stegosaurus, should look good in 3D... Quote Link to comment
+J10fly Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I definately like the dino! Especially if you do the 3d on it! Looks very good. Jayman11 Quote Link to comment
57chevy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) I like both of em', but if it were down to one I'd have to go with the butterflies. Now if I were 10 yrs. old again, I might vote for the dinos. Edited March 4, 2007 by 57chevy Quote Link to comment
+Go JayBee Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 So fill us non-Colorado-ins in on the bones.....is it a well known place for finding these? I like it...just need to tell me the background. Quote Link to comment

CinemaBoxers Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 My wife and I both prefer the Stego back - and I have to agree - if it's 3D, it would come out nice. ~Jim Quote Link to comment
keewee01 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 The Stegosaurus will look awesome in 3D. I'd be in for several coins, which ever you make. Quote Link to comment
YemonYime Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Personally, I like how the previous Colorado coins were round, but that's just me....old school. Quote Link to comment
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ryder3 is from Colorado Springs, and we like both of the backs, but Better Half prefers back #2. Of course, to settle the difference, we would have to add BOTH to our collection! LOL!! Compromise,right? LOL!! Quote Link to comment
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 (edited) OOPS! Double post. Edited March 3, 2007 by Ryder3 & Better Half Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Personally, I like how the previous Colorado coins were round, but that's just me....old school. Me, too. I like the way the first two years were similar to each other to keep them consistent. As for the back, it just looks like two images stuck on a blank background - they don't flow together in any type of design. It would look better if the design elements were tied together somehow versus just being two items/images floating there. Quote Link to comment
+Hawkbit Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I like the Dino... Sometimes understated is nice... Nice Coin no matter what you choose Quote Link to comment
keewee01 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hmmm... I have to agree with Kealia - bird and butterfly don't flow. Butterfly on state flower maybe... but otherwise bird and butterfly should be on separate coins too. Quote Link to comment
+CachingCoins Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I like side 2 better, but I do see what was said about the images not flowing together. I didn't see it until after I read it though. Quote Link to comment
alizard Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 So when & where do we order 1?? Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 So when & where do we order 1?? I expect samples any day now and will have a page open to order these. Quote Link to comment
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I will definitely buy at least one. I was born in Aurora, and really like the plate side of the coin, but the dino side is...ok. A cool reference would have been the Durango-Silverton train perhaps as an alternative. Quote Link to comment
