+Team 'zZZz' Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Great job!!! The only thing I'm missing is Musketeer #4 D'artagnan ... and he stands for the joy of it Maybe a signature for him on the edge? SCNR Dirk Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Very nice! A bigger, fancier version of our musketeer micros. I love it. I thought the same thing..very nice, indeed. I designed this coin at the same time (actually first) but due to the mint slowdown\errors etc. last year we just went with the micro for the MWGB rather than have the coin arrive after the event.

+fox-and-the-hound Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Beautiful! Very nicely done So what happened to the event? It was to be an Event coin or to be ready for MWGB? Wanted to give people a sneak peek of my Four Musketeers coin, samples just came back from the mint. I designed it 9 months ago with the intention of using it as an event coin. The event never happened so decided to brush off the cobwebs and go ahead and make it. Stats: Trackable, (tracking number on side) Icon: yes 1.75" diameter 3.5mm thick Mint run: no idea For sale or trade only: not sure Will come in velvet bag I wanted to include three traits of geocaching: Porthos: Strength to carry on Athos: Never give up the hunt Aramis: Think before you search Currently thinking about 3 eiditons: Royalist blue (picture), AS, blue gem Cardinal red, AS, red gem Cavalier green, AS, green gem Hope you like them.

avroair Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 So what happened to the event? It was to be an Event coin or to be ready for MWGB? It was supposed to be an event coin, but the event never materialized so I turned the idea into a micro coin for hnielsen, cnielsen, marky and myself (4musketeers, get it!?) for MWGB. We rushed them to have them for the mega event. Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 What did the micros look like? Did you wear the hats with feathers during MWGB? Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 What did the micros look like? Did you wear the hats with feathers during MWGB? There is a photo of mine on geocoin collection. It's basically just one of the Fleur de Lis on the front. Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 A couple of people emailed me about the other two colors, I can't get even a lousy shot of the green and silver, but here is a shot of the red and shiny gold... I will be making them in antique gold, not shiny though. Quote Link to comment

avroair Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Update: All for one and one for all! (1) I put the order in last friday. (2) Currently, there are going to be 3 editions with 2 metals, Antique silver will be sold through geoswag front and presale page and I will update people on when they are going on sale, the time and date, there will also be a LE antique gold that will be for myself. (I am not selling or trading these until I have them in hand). (3) I have kept the numbers fairly low, and probably won't re-mint them. The three current editions will be: Royalist --- blue translucent on antique silver, blue velvet bag and blue gem Cardinal --- burgundy translucent on antique silver, burgundy velvet bag and red gem Royalist --- green translucent on antique silver, green velvet bag and green gem I was talked into 2 later editions: there will be a fourth musketeer and a musketeers arch enemy: Imperialist --- purple translucent on antique silver, violet velvet bag and purple gem Assassin's Creed --- black translucent on antique silver, black velvet bag and black gem These should be available towards the end of March. Thanks, Mark Avroair Quote Link to comment
