+Filter X Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hello all! My wife (Crayolaqueen) and I are very proud to present our first geocoin! We have talked about this for quite sometime now and are glad to be able to announce it! CQ and I were married last October in Nova Scotia and have been caching since 2005 with no plans to stop any time soon! The Knot on the front is a English Love knot, forming bonds that never break! The art was done by Jamie @ Madhattersneverland. Thanks for the great job Jamie! Right now we are in talks with a few mints to see who we feel will do the best job to help bring this coin to life. Specs so far: - 1.65" - 3.0 mm - Trackable with a unique icon Metals and a few coloring odds and ends are still to be decided. We are trying to gauge interest in this coin to give us a ball park number to work with. I will be putting quite a few coins aside for trades, but please don't email me now. I will post when the coin pre-sale is up and will be taking trade offers then. Let us know what you think! Thanks! Quote Link to comment

+wsgaskins Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 So tell us about the building on the back? Where is it? What's it's significance to you? Quote Link to comment

+Filter X Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 (edited) So tell us about the building on the back? Where is it? What's it's significance to you? We couldn't find a good picture of the actual church we were married at to use on the coin, so we gave Jamie a rough Idea of what kind of building to look for...so no REAL significance. Thanks for the interest FX. Edited May 12, 2007 by Filter X Quote Link to comment

Tucats Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Nice design Filter. I like the B&W concept, but those 2 flags would sure stand out if they were in colour eh? Either way, put me on your sold list for one. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Either way, put me on your sold list for one. Thanks. I had art done u for the flags in color, and I think it stood out a bit too much, thus loosing the black and white concept i aimed for. Don't worry, I'll make sure to put a few aside for ya! Thanks Tucats! Quote Link to comment
