+A,J&BG Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I just want to find out if there is any interest in purchasing our coin before we think about having it made.... Quote Link to comment
+tw3nty3ight Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think its a neat coin Pretty much depends on what you do with the purple for me. Quote Link to comment
+A,J&BG Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 The purple would be imitation hard enamel, polished finish.... Is there a better way to do it? Quote Link to comment
+tw3nty3ight Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I think thats the best way to do it to be honest. Maybe more than just purple? I dunno maybe a metal finish on the back instead of color to break up the purple? just my thoughts Quote Link to comment
+A,J&BG Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 The gold that you see would be the metal. Quote Link to comment
+A,J&BG Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I wanted to sdd thanks for all the suggestions... I am new to the coin making side of things. Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Looks good, is a personal coin...I'd buy one or two! Quote Link to comment
+tw3nty3ight Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Hey no worries I am new to collection and can only suggest what I like personally. I do like your coin just think that a all metal finish on the back with maybe purple lettering would make it a little more desireable, at least for me. I know I like coins that have at least one part that shows off a finish. I will also recommend having it minted in more than one finish. Gold, Black Nickel, Nickel, Copper, and the list can go on.... Its all about what you want in your coin. Edited July 17, 2007 by tw3nty3ight Quote Link to comment
+UOTrackers Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 The purple would be imitation hard enamel, polished finish.... Is there a better way to do it? Maybe a nice deep translucent purple! Quote Link to comment

+The Moops Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Bill Watterson may have a problem with this coin. Quote Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I just want to find out if there is any interest in purchasing our coin before we think about having it made.... LMAO Love the idea! I'd be in for a few. And I like the idea of translucent purple also. Maybe two different finishes? Also along the same theme - Coed Naked Geocaching? CF30 Quote Link to comment
+BRoKeN W Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Nice butt Joanne! Very cute idea for a personal coin. It would look good next to the similar wooden nickel of yours I have! Quote Link to comment
+Vegas Gamblers Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Bill Watterson may have a problem with this coin. If he was concerned he never should have stopped making the comic. Love the coin and Calvin Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Artwork approved by Groundspeak? Can't wait to see the icon? Quote Link to comment
+rasj & Stacey Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I would be in for one. Quote Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I would also add Gritty #3 or #4 under the Translucent Enamel for a nice texture. Just my 2¢ ~J Quote Link to comment
+A,J&BG Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Nothing has been approved by GC... I am just getting a feel of if it is even worth the trouble of having it made. I would hope that the icon would end up being the guy. I will look into the translucent enamel and see what I think. Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment
+A,J&BG Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Also it would be available in at least 2 finishes. To be decided...lol Quote Link to comment
+Damenace Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 These remnd me of the "Butt Naked" shirts a few years ago! Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Of course the REAL question is, do you really cache naked? I can think of at least one team in the UK who have done so! Quote Link to comment
+A,J&BG Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yep I have cached naked once.... LOL A friend came by my house and left a coin in my cache for me and I went out in nothing but a housecoat to get the coin.... I didn't wait to get dressed...lol (I guess that is as close to naked caching as I am ever going to get.) It was my favorite cacher LoriDarlin and she left me a very special coin! James (Scorpio King) thinks that he wants to give it a try someday...lol Of course it was his idea for the coin. Quote Link to comment
+slowdownracer Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Cache naked? The cops would be laughing too hard to arrest me. Boy that would be fun! Count me in for one. Quote Link to comment
+paulandstacey Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I did a t-shirt for our small university residence a few years back that had spaceman spiff and it had to be changed (Calvin's hair) enough to pass. Bill Watterson (or more likely the corporate folks in charge of the distribution) are very particular with Calvin and Hobbes. I love the coin tho and hope it goes ahead. Good luck!

+A,J&BG Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 This is the same picture used on car stickers. I am sure that they have changed it enough to be approved or they wouldn't be able to sale the stickers. Quote Link to comment
+paulandstacey Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I hope so. Unless they received prior permission, or just didnt bother. Quote Link to comment

+The Fossillady Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I know several nude cacher SkinWalker, Nudecacher and jeepnkd. I'd be interested in 3 coins myself. I on the other hand only do hot springs naked. Edited July 17, 2007 by fossillady Quote Link to comment
+dorkfish Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Cute coin I'm currently working on a caching naked coin(s) but it is much different than this one. Will have a different saying on it too. Should be here in September. Must be an Idaho thing lol Quote Link to comment

+General Geocache Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I guess the design depicts a geocacher running away from-- mosquitoes, ticks, nettles, P.I., cops, and cell phone cameras. Did I miss anything? I'd really like to have a couple of these. Quote Link to comment

+dflye Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) Ummm... Don't count on it!! Calvin & Hobbes & Illegal Licensing ... D-man I was thinking that as well, but browsing the database over at geocoincollection looking for Pooh (the BEAR not the other kind ) found several that are blatantly copying the character that I'm pretty sure Disney owns the copyright to. Not sure where/when those coins were minted, but someone pulled a fast one there! As to the Calvin-esque kid on the coin in question, just a matter of removing the spiky hair and he looks like any other little kid on the loose after bath time. Once copyright issues resolved, count me in for a couple! Edited July 18, 2007 by dflye Quote Link to comment

Once copyright issues resolved, count me in for a couple! Yeah, at the sign shop where I work we try to keep on top of the copyright issues. Not to say that something doesn't "squeek" through every once in a while for someone that we know really well, but for the average person coming in off the street, we turn them away all the time when they want something that is a blatant copyright infringement. You just never know when it may be someone from one of the companies fishing for a lawsuit. Unfortunately, that does happen!! I agree that if you loose the spiked hair you'd be less likely to be called down on your design. That was definately one of Calvin's trademark features. D-man Quote Link to comment
+A,J&BG Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 I am working with someone to try to work something out with the copyright. I called the company that actually has the copyright on calvin and I am awaiting their answer... But for now I am going to look into just having him bald or something... I will let everyone know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment

I have been working on a "cache naked" coin for a few months now and am into the final stage of my artwork. Luckily yours is quite a bit different then my idea. Looks good! Definately digging it!

I am sure that they have changed it enough to be approved or they wouldn't be able to sale the stickers. Ummm... Don't count on it!! Calvin & Hobbes & Illegal Licensing ... D-man I found this line intersting in the link: If I could not control what 'Calvin and Hobbes' stood for, the strip was worthless to me. This is a quote from Bill Watterson. Seems that all this "fan art" of Calvin and Hobbes is not considered flattering. By creating products that based on his characters, essentially the public made him want to quit drawing the strip. Now that's sad. I don't know if this is why he did eventually quit as he did renegotiate his contract and continue writing it. Quote Link to comment
+tom4props Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Nice looking design and not all that far fetched either! A year or two ago, I found the Cottonwood Canyon Cache, which is just outside Bodie, California (a ghost town), and I came across an unusual picture in it's Photo Gallery ...
