SCYoli Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Wonderful response, thank you Caching Place. I can't wait to see the pixs. Does this also affect the shiny silver one? If possible when samples arrive could there be a post of original and revised Earth Turtle Coins. Thanks so much, the coins truly are beautiful and I'm sure the majority of us will happy either way, you've worked too hard on this. Quote Link to comment

No, the shiny silver is fine (I saw partial pictures but requested additional) because that is not a two-tone plating option nor involves an antique process. As far as pictures go, I'll leave that one to the caching place or when they forward them to me, I can post them. tsun Quote Link to comment
+Ryder3 & Better Half Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thanks for the updates! Consider our order written in stone, no matter how long it takes! We LOVE these coins!! Quote Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) Just so you all know where we sit a little bit and what things look like; here are a couple pics for you. These 2 pics are for Version 2. The ones that were pre-ordered in shiny silver and glitter and translucents on the back. What you see here are the fronts of the pre-order V2 shiny silver and my (sorry gotta say it, lol) SECRET version (ok, not so secret anymore). ***I know you've probably looked directly at the pictures first and hopefully you come back and read this part, lol. Just to clarify or jog your memory a bit. V1's are Antique Silver and Brushed Copper (one metal). The Antique Silver is the most unique Earth Turtle in that it has a different color scheme from all other turtles. The Brushed Copper will look just like the little guys in the pics but in 'Brushed Copper'. V2's all have the same color scheme as the V1 Brushed Copper and AE/tsun's version in BN/Gold (which is also the only few two-tones that survived the process). The major difference between V1 and V2 are that V2 on the back side has translucents and glitter (the Earth is done in glitters). I do have a pic of the backsides, but I'm trying to find the right email (and there are alot). When I do find them, I will edit this post, so check back to get a glimpse of what the backsides look like too. Edit: Added a back side pic of the Shiny Silver. Ok, I think that's it for now..... V2 Shiny Gold front (secret version) only available through me. V2 Shiny Silver, the pre-ordered Earth Turtle. V2 Shiny Silver backside w/glitters. There is a little bleeding over on the hand, that has been addressed. Edited August 10, 2007 by tsunrisebey Quote Link to comment

+tsunrisebey Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Just a quick update: Samples for the brushed copper and antique silver came in, everything looked good, so they are a 'go.' I'm not sure what the shipping date/arrival date is but if/when I find out, I'll pass it along. Thanks for being patient everyone. ~tsun Quote Link to comment

+LadeBear68 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Wooohoooo. I was away on business for three days and knew there was something very special in my mailbox that I wanted soooo badly. This morning I went to the mailbox and there it was, a BEAUTIFUL, GORGEOUS Earth Turtle Geocoin. The colors are beyond words, thank you for such a beautiful geocoin. Can't wait for the rest of the family. I see that there is still one on ebay, may have to bid on that one too. Quote Link to comment

Can't wait for the rest of the family. I see that there is still one on ebay, may have to bid on that one too. Thank you very much for bidding on the silent auction for Team Donutdog, I'm glad you like the little guy, I'm quite fond of it myself The auction that is up is for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Helena. They don't have a listing for that chapter on Mission Fish so I had to word it differently but it's very clear what the auction is for. PLUG: If you don't have kids or even if you do and you have some spare time (8 hours a month, give or take) you should think about becoming a 'Big.' There are some really great kids who could use a mentor and I bet they would love to go caching with you! UNPLUG (lol). ~tsun Quote Link to comment
+Mr.Explorer3 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 tsunrisebey, Thank you very much for the LE Turtle I received yesterday from the geocointest. It is awesome and I can't tell there is any blemish. You are awesome for what you do. Thank you, Mr.Explorer3 Quote Link to comment
