CinemaBoxers Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Introducing the 2008 Easter Nav'Egg'ation Geocoin Available at Geocoinshop.com Im proud to announce the 2008 coin - I worked on this for some time trying to think of how I could keep in the tradition of the first Egg I designed for last years Easter Nav'Egg'ation Geocoin, yet, still raise the bar. I chose a faberge' appearance - with symbols of Spring! Leaves, fleurs, flowers. The details are incredible - but this is a coin you MUST hold in hand to see all the intricate details. Incidentally, this coin also marks a full year that I've been designing coins. Thanks to Tom at Geocoinshop for putting his faith in me in the first place, and asking me to do the first coins I EVER designed for someone else. These are the photos received of the samples from the mint. The mint photos NEVER do the coins justice - we all want details, and the mints just snap a non-blurred pic. Some of the coins will be done in Antique Gold and Antique Silver as well - not shown. The edition will be limited to 500 coins. These will be available at GEOCOINSHOP.COM Size: 2'' x 1.45'' x 3.0 MM thick 20 AC Artist Edition 70 antique gold yellow enamel 70 antique gold purple enamel 70 antique silver yellow enamel 70 antique silver purple enamel 50 polished gold yellow enamel 50 polished gold purple enamel 50 polished silver yellow enamel 50 polished silver purple enamel Due to the MANY levels and details, these were done in soft enamel w/epoxy Coins are trackable with their own icons. Designed by Geocoindesign.com Should be at the Geocoinshop.com store around March 19th We will post with details! Edited March 1, 2008 by CinemaBoxers Quote Link to comment

CinemaBoxers Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 What is the metal of the egg in the bottom picture? Those would be my antique coppers! He decided to do some of the regular versions in ANTIQUE metals as well based on these sample pics. Each version should have its own look - and I think theres something for everyone! I hope you all love them! Quote Link to comment

I love the copper version, I have difficulty seeing the fine details on the other geocoins. Like I said - gotta love mint photos! No worries about seeing the detail in person - as with the Great Outdoors coins - the epoxy coating accentuates the fine detail work, even in the shiny metals. Quote Link to comment
