+PLnauta Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi all, it is opened a poll to choose the new Portuguese geocoin for 2008. You can follow the poll here http://forum.geocaching-pt.net/viewtopic.php?t=2164 and watch all the versions available to vote. But i can show you guys what will be, probably the one. Thats a Portuguese Guitar dedicated to "Fado". I will keep you updated with all news. Paulo aka PLnauta Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 As a collector, I think #1 and #4 are much nicer. The neck on this one will be so skinny and the cost will be based on the height. So it will be much more expensive to produce than your past coins, which were already pricey to begin with. Cost to produce should always be a factor in choosing a design. Quote Link to comment
+OshnDoc Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 "Have to" agree with AG #4 is my vote. Quote Link to comment
+MustangJoni Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 "Have to" agree with AG #4 is my vote. #4 is my favorite also. Quote Link to comment
+TeamEccs21 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 #4 is my favorite as well, with #5 a close second. I guess I just like traditional looking coins better, Good luck with your coin Quote Link to comment
+The Walkabouts Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Definately #4 Quote Link to comment
+Frank n Beck Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Would have to agree with the others, #4 would definately be my pick. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I vote for #2. I think #4 looks too much like the poor cousin to the 2006 Portugal coin. Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I really like #1 or #4 Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I like 1, 2 and 3. 4 may be o.k. But, round gets boring (sometimes) Quote Link to comment
+The Klever Boys Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 No.1 for me Quote Link to comment

+pandabeertje Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I would like # 1 and secondly # 5 Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I really like number 1. Kudos to you all for producing some great looking suggestions. I really prefer it when coins are produced by cachers in the country they depict, so well done! Quote Link to comment
+scobey Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment

+PLnauta Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi thank you all for your opinions. We have several days left to vote but things are getting hot here Paulo Quote Link to comment
+KrazyTrollz Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I like #1, funny, a lot of folks around here like that one but it's not doing so hot in the polls, LOL! Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 #4 and #5, no of the others really evoke images of Portugal for me. Quote Link to comment
+tokencollector Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I tend to like # 2 and 4. The guitar is nice, but the tracking number will be way too small as drawn. If the coin is 2 1/2" long, the tracking number comes out to be 1 mm high! Quote Link to comment
+9Key Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I like 1 and 4, with 4 being my favorite. Quote Link to comment
+Mauison Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I like shaped coins, so 1, 2 and 3, probably with #2 being my favorite. I do agree that the text on #3 might be too small, especially the tracking number so that might have to be revised if chosen. Quote Link to comment
+Geo.Error Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hello, i like 1 and 2 because when i see them i think on vacation. Succes with your choice. Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 #3, 1, then #2 That's GREAT order I have to agree though with the size of the tracking # ! Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 How's the poll doing? Quote Link to comment
+PLnauta Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hi We've decided for the Portuguese Guitar Now we are looking for a minter and some hints on the design. We would like to have it for sale in May. Paulo ps. thanks for the interest Quote Link to comment
+PLnauta Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hello, first samples arrive. We are slooooowly doing this one Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 They look nice. I still personally wish one of the other designs had won. I liked several of them. Quote Link to comment
