+stormcloud Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I have been thinking about getting a personal coin done. A friend of mine has done an image up for me. I am looking for some feedback on the coin. I have attached the link to view the coin. http://www.pgcachers.com/images/Stormcloud-Geocoin.jpg http://www.pgcachers.com/images/Stormcloud-Geocoin-back.jpg Quote Link to comment

+mousekakat Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Very cute! I'd like to see maybe the eyes glowing, too, not just the lightning bolt! I also like the idea of a grey cloud! Quote Link to comment
+Steinwälzer Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 That's a coin I really like! I am a member of Skywarn Germany, so if you make it, it's a must-have for my collection (And glow-in-the-dark parts... ) Quote Link to comment

+mrjiffy Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Great looking coin. You might want to put the lightning bolt in to the cloud a little more if you plan on realeasing many of these coins. It sticks out quite a ways from the clould and I dont know if the bolt may get broken off on many travellers over time? Just my $0.02 Quote Link to comment
+Dolfy Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I like it! I say go for it! Quote Link to comment
+imchasingshadows Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Great design! It's so . . . you! lol Quote Link to comment
+The Amigos Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I definitely would buy one! Thant's cool! I agree with moving the lightning bolt up a little if you can, and glowing eyes!! Quote Link to comment
+AtwellFamily Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Just my .02 with a few fo the other changes suggested. Moving the lightning bold up a bit. Doing one in Gray if you like Red glow eyes I would make the bold on the back glow as well. Change wording to have your caching name added. "Stormcloud...Caching up a storm" If you go with translucent enamel make sure to add some texture under it. Helps show it better. Agian just my .02 Quote Link to comment
+Dolfy Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I like the idea of the cloud being in gray. Makes it look meaner! Quote Link to comment

+plumbrokeacres Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Busted I helped with this coin and am proud of it still I will be buying a few when available. Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I like it... how about a glow in the dark artist edition? Quote Link to comment
+earthrooster Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 ...eyes glowing, too, not just the lightning bolt! I also like the idea of a grey cloud! Ditto Quote Link to comment
+Icenrye Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Looks good to me! Sign me up for a couple. I'll feature them on the 'zine when they come out. Quote Link to comment
+whitebear Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Nice coin ...but check with the coin makers to see if the lightning bolt will be ok sticking down that far.I'll trade for a couple! Quote Link to comment
+The Amigos Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Anything new on this coin lately??!! Quote Link to comment

Agian just my .02 To me, this makes the bolt seem to be coming from the nose (like an ugly booger)...I doubt the bolt would get broken from a quality made coin (I could be wrong though). I like the coin!! Quote Link to comment
+Lotho Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I much prefer the origianl to thge other persons draft, but make it grey as there isnt such thing as a white storm cloud is there. Quote Link to comment

Actually....the thunderheads are often white (or at least the ones I see which are in front of the actual storm are). I could be wrong though! Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 It looks like this could be a winner. I sure like it! Quote Link to comment
+wsgaskins Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Nice coin ...but check with the coin makers to see if the lightning bolt will be ok sticking down that far.I'll trade for a couple! I like the coin a lot as well. I don't think the lightning bolt sticking out will be an issue if the coin is made from brass or copper base metal, but the cost of the coin is proportional somewhat to the diameter of the die. So if this were a 3" coin, that would mean that the whole thing fits in a 3" circle. Having the lighting bolt stick out like it's shown means that the cloud portion is that much smaller. I had the same issue when I did my first GasCans geocoin -- I wanted the gas filling nozzle to be sticking out, but that would have just made the rest of the coin too small. You have lots of options here for enamel filling. That may be your best route to go for various 'coin editions' instead of choosing different metal types. White glow lightning bolt, Red eyes, gray cloud Yellow glow lightning bolt, green eyes, white cloud Blue lightning bolt, red glow eyes, black cloud etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment
