CinemaBoxers Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Hello, Well.. its that time! Time for us to finally spill the beans on our GW5 contribution to the Geocoin Community! This coin has been in the making for several months now - It popped into my head when I was thinking of something unique for the event... I had hoped that it could be done, and the process was one that was pretty complex, and we went through a few stressful moments over whether it COULD be done and, would it be in time!? We waited to let everyone know about them - until they came in. Which I just received note from Castle Man - they JUST arrived. There will be more photos added tonight, but if you would like a sneak peek - just visit: GW5 Sunburst Geocoin We hope you all like it as much as we do. Now, for specifics. The coin is going to be available during GW5, and after the event - to the public. We aren't sure if all metals will be reminted after the first run, so get those at the event while you can! We will also have matching pins available! The coin is 1.75" and 3.5mm thick. The enamel is ENTIRELY translucent, for a stained glass effect. Both Castle Man and myself are EXTREMELY proud of this coin. (Designed by me , minted by Castle Man!) So... I hope you all love it. We sure do. And check back for those updated photos later tonight!

CinemaBoxers Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 We are still pondering that one - I wanted to see them in person as well before we decide. Castle Man has them now, and I cant wait to get my hands on them. Quote

+PengoFamily Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Please add me to the list of people to be notified after GW5. I sure hope that there are some left. Really nice looking coin...love the stained glass effect. Quote
+chancerider Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Wow, awesome coin! Won't be at GW5, but hope I don't miss out on these. Quote
+wsgaskins Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 I know that there is a cash machine nearby to the GW5 site on the fairgrounds property, but I wonder if anyone has warned the owner of that machine to come by and restock it during the day... It'll get quite a work out, I expect! Quote
+islander1988 Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Now I know how it felt for those not able to go to GeoCoinFest. WHAAAA! And now I know how those who were able to go to GeoCoinFest felt. Great looking coin! Hopefully I'll be able to trade for one of these while I'm there. Quote
+MommyFinder Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Ooooooooooo, pretty! I hope there are some left after the event for those unfortunate souls (like me) who can't make it to the event! Quote
+Dr. Whoever Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Yes, there will be plenty of these after the event. We will be continuing the thread and making an announcement for those who did not get to attend the event. But that'll be when I get back on the 30th. At that time I'll post a forum thread for orders. What a fantastic response, thanks a bunch. Quote
TokyoBlossom Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 I also won't be at GW5, but will definitely be watching this thread post-event! Quote

+Team chelmo Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 Fantastic coin guys After mine I knew that because you were excited about it that it was going to be one of those "Must Have's"! Pretty sure I won't be able to make it to GW5 But will be keeping an eye out for one afterwards. That is unless someone wants to pick one up for me and do a trade Quote

CinemaBoxers Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 A big thanks for all the positive feedback. I love this coin, and am VERY proud. The antique copper edition is my Artist XLE - and I will have those for special trades! Also watch for a ONE OF A KIND version at GW5. Can't wait to see/meet everyone!! Quote

We will for sure be there at 7PM Sat! I cant wait to see everyone! With the expected popularity of your coins, are you going to have a set time that the line forms in front of your spot at the table for trades/sales? Maybe like 7:01pm?? Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted May 22, 2007 Posted May 22, 2007 I know we spoke before, but just have to say again that you really outdid yourself on this design. Great job!!! Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted May 22, 2007 Author Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Thanks again! I appreciate your comments! We WILL have a vendor booth at GW5 - You will see our logos on a banner. We will be at Thursdays event with the coins for a sneak peak! See ya there! Edited May 22, 2007 by CinemaBoxers Quote

CinemaBoxers Posted May 23, 2007 Author Posted May 23, 2007 Heading off to NC this am! Will see everyone there! Thanks again for the nice words on this coin!! Quote
+Wij Drie Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 A very nice coin. I sure would like to have one of these. But i'm in Europe and won't attend at the GW5. Anyone want's to trade for a Wij Drie Geo40 coin? tot cache, team Wij Drie Quote
+Rubiconlwb Posted May 23, 2007 Posted May 23, 2007 I really like this coin! I won't be going to GW5 but have asked a friend to pick up a couple metals just in case they won't be available after the event. How do you artists come up with the concepts you do? I have no idea but I sure enjoy reaping the benefits of your talent. Quote
