+Landsharkz Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 We've been working with 3Sparks since March to create their dream coin... It's a trackable Morpho Butterfly with a Morpho butterfly icon!! Size: 45mm width, 3.5mm thick, 3D and 2D. This is not a stamped brass/copper coin, but it's still got a weighty feel - 'nuf said Qty: 400 coins minted on one edition. Paint: soft enamel on the 3D side and imitation hard enamel on the 2D side. Yup, those are blended colours on the 3D side! We will have a few of these for sale on Landsharkz.ca on or about July 19th or 20th and 3Sparks will also be selling some. Due to the frequency of our visits to the US, we're leaving our US shipping rate at the domestic rate all summer! Quote Link to comment

+~tasia~ Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 i like this one too! but i've already got my mind set on another Morpho butterfly coin that is coming out i may break down and buy both Quote Link to comment
+MommyFinder Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Funny, when Crake asked for suggestions for his next butteryfly, this was the one I suggested! He went with the more popular Tiger Swallowtail. I'll definitely be wanting a couple of these. The different technique sounds intriguing, can't wait to see it in person! Quote Link to comment

+nolefan9399 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 The Blue Morpho is my favorite butterfly so I will be definitely be getting one of these coins. Very cool. Quote Link to comment

I'll definitely be wanting a couple of these. The different technique sounds intriguing, can't wait to see it in person! I suggested the Blue Morpho, too, when Crake asked for suggestions! I have loved these since my brother brought one back from Brazil in the 80's. I think this is an incredibly beautiful butterfly. I liked it even more when I saw the movie, The Blue Butterfly! (The movie was very family friendly, staring William Hurt, whom I had no idea could speak French fluently) I had no idea how popular the Blue Morpho was. It's a must have for my collection. Oh, and thanks for keeping the shipping rate at domestic rates for us! I'll look forward to getting a couple of these. Quote Link to comment

+Landsharkz Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Do you have a bigger picture of the 3D side, would love to see a better picture of the blended colors? Photos really don't do this coin justice; the best way to appreciate the blended colours is in your hand Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 the best way to appreciate the blended colours is in your hand Heh, now there's a clever selling technique Quote Link to comment

+keewee Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Very nice - can't wait to see one in my hands. Were you offering to sent these out so that we can see them in person? Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Very nice - can't wait to see one in my hands. Were you offering to sent these out so that we can see them in person? In a round about way that brings up a thought... if you make a purchase from us from NZ or AU please drop us a line to landsharkz@shaw.ca to ask to have an activated BC 2007 coin or other current coin of ours tucked in your order. We'd like to get more coins travelling in NZ and AU and we'll send them out (one per order) as long as we can afford it and while supplies last. Quote Link to comment

+dflye Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Some of these beauties landed in my mailbox today, and wow do they look great! I like how they glisten like a butterfly fresh out of its chrysalis waiting for their wings to dry enough to fly away. Quote Link to comment

I really enjoyed working with you! ~ Jaime You are very welcome. To trust our crazy idea that we could pull this off was awesome! It's fun when we get to try new things and push the mint once again to 'reach their full potential' as Chris likes to say! I like how they glisten like a butterfly fresh out of its chrysalis waiting for their wings to dry enough to fly away. dflye... what an eloquent way to describe the 3Sparks Morpho! That is very quotable - may I quote you in our gallery please? Quote Link to comment

+Landsharkz Posted August 3, 2007 Author Share Posted August 3, 2007 We have about 12 left but we've taken them off the site to take on our road trip with us. Unless you hear otherwise, Landsharkz is Sold Out. Please contact 3Sparks for future sales. Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Aw. I'm having to limit myself because I'm really not supposed to be buying anything. I was hoping they'd stick around because I really wanted one. I was just thinking about going on the site and buying one. I had a wonderful experience in Belize walking through the jungle with my husband, watching these blue morphos flit through the trail for hours. I can't remember how many I counted, 30-50 of them, but just 2 or 3 at a time. It was like being in paradise. Quote Link to comment

Jaime Hm...that's a possiblity. I had a person offer to trade me for one of theirs, as well. I have very few coins, if any at all, to trade though, since I have a very limited budget (budget? what budget? if you don't tell my husband, i won't either ). I try to only buy coins I really like, and no extras. Could you wait for a couple days? I'll tell them the coins I could trade, and if it's a no, I'll buy one of yours. Would that be fine? Wow, I'd be very happy to have one of these. I shouldn't have waited so long. You guys are so sweet. I've found everyone to be very helpful and selfless. I've already had someone send me a coin that I wanted just as a gift. It blew me away, and brought tears to my eyes. Add to that the stories I hear in these threads about everyone taking care of each other. Thank you so much, guys! Because of all the things going on right now that could drag me down, I collect good things that I see in my life and around me like precious little gems. I appreciate all of that.

+3Sparks Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 No problem. I know all about being on a 'coin budget'! Whatever you decide is fine. Just let me know if you do need one. Jaime Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 This has prompted me to finally make a list of all the coins that I own. I've always thought about doing it but have put it off. I'm actively doing that today, so I can know what I actually have. Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 This incredible coin came in the mail a couple days ago. I sent you a pm through the forums a little while ago, 3Sparks, to let you know that I was going to do the trade, but it doesn't look like you've seen it. Thanks for the generous offer, though.

+3Sparks Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I still have some more of these available if anyone is interested.... Thanks, Jaime Quote Link to comment

I don't usually have a problem finding activation codes...where can I get mine for this coin? http://www.landsharkz.ca/coin-activation-codes.php Thanks! Before I asked the question, I tried going to the landsharz website and I couldn't get it to work, like it was down or something. I was thinking that might be the place to find the activation code, but since it wasn't working for me I came here. Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Ambrosia, I just checked and it's working fine now. If you're still having an issue send me a note and I'll get it for you. Helen Quote Link to comment
