+larry739 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) I will be doing another Kansas Sunshine for 2008 similar to the 2007 one (see avatar). I want to make it look the same but have a slightly different color scheme and use a different metal. The original Kansas Sunshine was Black Nickel and color used for the center of the sunflower was tan. The 2007 Kansas Sunshine was Copper and the color used for the center of the sunflower was red orange like the avatar. The 2008 Kansas Sunshine will look the same except it will have a 2008 in place of the 2007 on the back. What metal and color combo would you like to see? A free 5 Pack will go to the winner. COINTEST will run until a color is selected. Coins will be mailed to the winner as soon as I have them in my hands. I look forward to hearing your ideas. Just for info, I will also make a gold one for activation and release into the wild. I put one in most of the caches I visit. I have activated and released 600 of them so far. I wonder if that is a record for a particular type of geocoin to be put into the wild by one person? Extra credit if you have ever had an activated Kansas Sunshine in your hands at any time.

+fingers crossed Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Sorry... I should have been specific about which rainbow colours. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet and if it could be done some blending between colour on some petals. For the center a yellow glitter (to represent the sun) Quote Link to comment
+ShmilyNMe Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Orange Petals and a black center with red or orange for the symbol in the middle. Black nickel for the metal. I owned an unactivated Kansas Sunshine coin for a while and it seems like I discovered one one time, but I've discovered enough coins at this point that they have become a blur... Thanks for the cointest! Edited December 21, 2007 by ShmilyNMe Quote Link to comment
+Marpomem Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I would like to see one with burgundy-ish petals and a black center. there are so many cool colors of real sunflowers now that you could do many different combinations for the next several years! yours are beautiful.

+Marpomem Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 forgot to say coin color - silver with those burgundy-ish petals and a black center. that is my favorite choice. of course, that combo flower colors would look good on gold or the black nickel, too. why don't you do some of each? or is that too much? anyway, if i have to limit self to one, i will stick with the first choice of silver.

+Marpomem Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 super cool picture, cf30. that is close to what i had in mind!!! more burgundy, less orange. more black, less gray. do you know the name of that sunflower in your picture? sorry, to get side-tracked, but i plant some sunflowers every year and really like those.

Silver with ruby red center. Seems about the only thing I know about Kansas is Dorothy and her ruby red slippers. I have moved two of the Kansas Sunshine coins here in Maine so it must have lots of sunshine too. Quote Link to comment

+mmgestes Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I know that purple was already mentioned...how about an eggplant purple. With an antique silver finish or maybe nickel. Dang...too late. Picked up one of your coins in Feb 2007 at an event in Green River, WY. Quote Link to comment
+lelle1987 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 How about a golden coin with yellow center and red orange petals? Sort of an inverted version of this years' coin... Quote Link to comment
+fingers crossed Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 How about gold glitter petals and darkest brown center without being black on Black nickel. We have discovered two of these coins. One in a personal collection and one on the feild with another cacher. Quote Link to comment

+PSU Fan Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 This is my suggestion: Yellow, Orange, and Red petals, with a Reddish, gold center: Quote Link to comment
wwflover13 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Gold metal, graipfruit-colored (pink-ish) center, and marigold petals. I moved TB1468C from North Carolina to Iowa awhile ago. Quote Link to comment
+mousekakat Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Can it be gold, even though your "special" one will be gold? If so, then I'd go with golden sunflower colored petal and a dark brown glitter center with polished gold metal. If you don't want to go with polished gold metal, then go with a satin gold, but I really think that a gold metal would make both the golden petals and the dark brown glitter of the middle stand out!

+AtlantaGal Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I'd like to see the yellow glow in the dark Also would lke these to be thicker... at least 2.5 MM thick. Quote Link to comment
+501_Gang Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Nickel metal Yellow pedals Make the middle like the blue from the Geocaching symbol. Make 4 different coins total, so that when your done, a set of 4 placed together, would be the four colors of the geo-symbol. Quote Link to comment

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet and if it could be done some blending between colour on some petals. For the center a yellow glitter (to represent the sun) This is exactly what I was thinking except I was imagining a glitter translucent emerald or Oz-like-glow-in-the-dark green center...on a shiny GOLD base... ie: Toto, it doesn't look like we're in Kansas anymore... as my lovely wife (Dorothy) warbles:" somewhere over the rainbow..."

+woodduck870 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Outer green and center yellow , I grabbed one of your coins in a rather unique place ! Try these Coords to see where N.27 13.458 W.090 01.899 in the middle of the Gulf Of Mexico on our Drilling rig !! There are 5 cachers working on the same rig and we trade travel bugs and coins to help see them to their intended destinations !! Quote Link to comment
