+dark_onyx1982 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I am still pretty new to this. I am working on a design for a personal coin that I want to be trackable. I was going to purchse through coinsandpins.com (not decided though). I am a little confused as to who you buy your tracking numbers from. I assu,e you buy your tracking numbers through geocache.com? or is it a 3rd party? Do you supply these numbers to your coin minter? Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Geocaching.com issues all the tracking numbers, and you need to get your design approved with Groundspeak first, but all of the popular geocoin sites do all that for you. You don't need to worry about that aspect of it unless you are dealing directly with the mint. --Marky Quote Link to comment

Here is the mock-up of the front, I am still tweaking the text on the back. I am going for 1.5" & 2mm thickness. Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 That looks like a nice start! Good luck and have fun with it! --Marky Quote Link to comment
keewee01 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Are you going with an actual photograph on the coin, or will it be art work/design? Quote Link to comment
ATMouse Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Art work is sooooo much cooler if you get a good design and color choice. Quote Link to comment
+Hula Bum Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Like Marky said, the vendor you are working with will handle everything for you, that's what they do! Quote Link to comment

Would be cool if you could work it like a relief, 3-D or textured of some kind Quote Link to comment

+dark_onyx1982 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 I was going to do the flower as a photo. the black and purple is gonna be enamal with raised silver lettering. I made the same deisgn with the flower is "art-work" but I did not like it as much. I also made the 3-d releif versoion with no color, just a silver coing, I konda like that one too. Thank you for the tips............any others? Quote Link to comment
+dark_onyx1982 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 Here is a mock-up of the same desin in "art-work" vs. photo inlay. What do you think og this design? Also, is 2mm and 1.5" a good size? I am looking to produce them for my personal use to drop into caches amd see where they go. Quote Link to comment
+dark_onyx1982 Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 This is the back, I am still working on the wording. I am not quite happy with it. Quote Link to comment
