+Smort78 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Here's the artwork. The back may change a bit depending on how the samples turn out. Hope you all like it. The S in SWAG seems a bit strange... Quote Link to comment
+PengoFamily Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks for noticing that Smort. I will inquire about that. Missed it myself. I am not sure of the finishes yet. Will have to wait and see how the samples turn out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+The Amigos Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Here's the artwork. The back may change a bit depending on how the samples turn out. Hope you all like it. Can't wait to have our own! Will the children have faces? It doesn't look like they do. Quote Link to comment

+gardengorilla Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Oh wow! These turned out great. Cinnabear will be thrilled. My youngest son finally decided on a caching name this weekend, much too late for this coin He is now OptimusCache. Quote Link to comment

The lower case "I" might be because they ARE children. BUT Maybe it is so it shows up better. ( I rather like it ) Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Nice! Can't wait to buy a bunch of these! Me either And I see the 2 cachers I suggested made it . I know that they will be SO surprised to see their name on a coin like this. ( Shhhhh, it's still a secret, I hope ) Quote Link to comment
+patty556 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I can't wait to get one of these coins. They look GREAT Quote Link to comment
+PengoFamily Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Just a quick grammar point...the apostrophe where it is means the coin is one kid's not all the kids'. Is that what was meant? Ness. DOH! I was questioning that when writing it but after some googling I will have it changed on the artwork. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+The-Wolf-Pack Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Don't mean to be picky lol but could my Odessa have a Capital O please in her first name all the reat seemed to have a Capital on there first "real" name Can not wait to get a few of these Thanks Chantal Quote Link to comment
+OwlCacher Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Looks pretty nice, but could you also capitalize my name to OwlCacher? It's how I usually write it and it'll look better on the coin that way Quote Link to comment
+T"n"T Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 They look great, I bet the mint is having a blast with this one. Justin is going love these. He is driving me nuts about getting his coin made. Hope this one will hold him off a bit. So happy that you were able to get him on it. Quote Link to comment

+PengoFamily Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Awesome.. can't wait to get a few of these What did they say about the small "i" ? I left the small 'i' and had the front changed to the small 'i' because it looks more like a kid wrote it. I liked it and hope everyone does. Quote Link to comment

+PengoFamily Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Sorry for the delay on the sample pics. The translucent colors are too dark to read the kids' names properly so we are making a slight adjustment. The final coin will be nickel. 125 will have the blue outer ring a yellow translucent covering the names and 125 will have the red outer ring with a yellow translucent covering the names. The AE is a surprise. The coins have been ordered form the mint and should be available in approx 4 weeks. I do not know pricing yet. I will update this thread when they are available.
