Theotokos Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) We have a few coins coming out in the near future and I got to thinking about the possibility of an Easter themed coin too. I'm just trying to gauge the interest level at this point since Holiday coins can be hit and miss. I know there are a lot of great looking coins coming out right now and in the near future so maybe people aren't too interested in a holiday coin? This design could turn out fairly nicely with some translucent and glitter colors. Again, only if the interest seems to be there otherwise we will just stick to the ones that we already have in the works and not spend any more time on this one. Let me know what you think - thanks Edit....cleaned up the design a bit and re-posted Edited March 21, 2008 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Quote Link to comment
Maine Family Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It is a cute coin and I would be interested in a few. Quote Link to comment
+Frank n Beck Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 That's a really cool idea, I like that. Quote Link to comment
+BVnLJ Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 really nice colorful coin....makes me wish for springtime Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It isn't too early for Easter. In fact, you better rush it if you are going to do it! LOL Easter is March 28th this year. I'm working on a coin now, and the delivery date is March 14th. Oh, and Chinese New Year is February 6th thru the 12th, so the mints in China are closed that week. Quote Link to comment
+Nochipra Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Very cute coin, I'd be interested:) Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It's cute. I'd have to see the sample to say for sure. Joni is right though, with Chinese New Year and all that, an Easter coin should go to the mint this week or it might not make it in time. Quote Link to comment
CinemaBoxers Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm working on an Easter coin right now! There will be another 2008 Easter Nav'Eggation geocoin - even better than last years! Hope you all love it! Quote Link to comment
+OverTheEdge Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I don't think it's too early... It would be GREAT to have them in hand in plenty of time for the holiday. Very nice coin, I can't wait!! Quote Link to comment

But I think I will just have to put this one on the back burner anyway. CB mentioned earlier in this thread that she has a coin coming so I'll just work on other projects. Thanks everyone for your feedback - I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment
+mousekakat Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Theo, don't put it on the back burner just because CB is doing an Easter coin, too! I, personally, love the concept and it really appeals to those of us with kids as the kids will go for it! I know that when Hanna and Caitlyn saw it they both thought it was great! Don't back off!

Naomi I agree. I already had plans for the Easter Bunny to be bringing them to my grandson and a few other kids. They are so colorful and perfect for kids, even me who is just a kid at heart. I hope you do them because I like the colors and everything about them. Quote Link to comment

Well, I'll see what I can do...but without a lot of interest it will still be difficult to convince one of the vendors to pick it up. Quote Link to comment

+tom4props Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Cute coin! ... and I really like the incorporation of the traditional Easter Egg Hunt theme on the egg! I normally avoid all the holiday themed coins, but this cute design really captures the spirit of the Easter hunt; I'd be interested in one! Quote Link to comment

Maine Family Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Didn't want this to get lost. I will be getting some. My grandson has some more room in his pockets. He has a yellow punch buggy and ATMouse sent him the mouse and the owl coin and a geochick which he keeps in his pocket until he gets his pj's on and then he sits them on his headboard. Every time I get on the computer he has to see her mouse. He loves that mouse. He likes this egg so I will have to order an extra one for his pocket. Thank you for doing this coin.

Around here kids are still finding eggs with trinkets in it in the summer time. It won't matter to them. Quote Link to comment
