+bluecherry Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Okay here is the first artwork. There will be one small change made to the coin. 2008 will be put on the front of the coin on the ammo can instead of on the back. We will be taking reservations for these soon. These will be done in two finishes Polished Gold and Silver. Quote Link to comment

+pghlooking Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 You should do a leg version as well. Quote Link to comment
+keewee Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Very nice! Colour works well on the silver. Quote Link to comment
+Saffier Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Great coin count me in for 2 zilver and 2 gold coins Quote Link to comment
+Eric K Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 This may sound silly but when a coin has the cache co-ordinates on the coin like that you would be surprised at how many people get confused and think that is the tracking number. Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Thanks for all the kind words about the coin. After some discussion the coins well be in bronze and silver instead. Reservations will start after all the die art and samples are done. Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Okay so the coins are going to be 1.75 round two available finishes will be polished gold and polished nickel. At this time we are only doing 150 coins total so they will not have their own icon. Unless we get enough interested then we will order more in a different finish. Quote Link to comment
+Frank n Beck Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Was a week behind last years event, and wont be down that way till july or aug of this year, maybe I can attend one in the future. Was able to get last years coin though, and its nice. Cant wait to get this one either. Quote Link to comment
+_c3_ Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I thoroughly enjoyed this event last year. I hope I can make it again this year, though it is not looking good at this point... hopefully something will change between now and then and I can make it! Do you know how much the coins will be? I will likely order some, but would like this question answered first. Also, what if I am unable to make it to the event to pick them up? Also, in reference to Eric K's suggestion, what if you made the GC # on the ammo box staggered or diagonal? That way it would be more difficult to read and probably not be confused with the straight line tracking number? ..G .... C ...... Y ........ 4 .......... D ............ 7 This may sound silly but when a coin has the cache co-ordinates on the coin like that you would be surprised at how many people get confused and think that is the tracking number.

+GPX Navigators Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Like this one. Will watch for order info. Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Coins will be 10 dollars each. If you can not make the event to get your coin then I will ship at the cost of 2 dollars for the first coin and 1 dollar for each additional coin. Once all the final die art is done I will post it here. Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Okay here is the final Die art for the coin. I hope everyone likes it. Quote Link to comment
+dflye Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Ok, I'm a bit confused....the coin for the event last year had that year's event's waypoint (GCY4D7) The sample art is showing the same waypoint, shouldn't it be GC19EK6? Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 Okay Dflye you are right. LOL That is being fixed the new waypoint will be on the coin. But the rest of the coin will stay the same. These will start production next week so reservations will be taken soon. I just need to set up the email to take the reservations. Once again the finishes will be polished gold, polished nickel. If you can not make it to the event you will have to pay shipping. $2 for the first coin and $1 for each additional coin. If you are coming to the event you can just pick them up there. Coins are going to be $10 each There are limited numbers being produced. However, if there is enough intrest we will mint more in another finish. Any other questions please feel free to ask Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 Okay coins can now be reserved at airborneevent@hotmail.com Please include Real Name Cacher Name Number of each finish If you need shipping Coins are $10 each shipping will be $2 for the first and $1 for each additional coin. The two finishes are polished gold and polished nickel. We are doing limited quanities so it is on a first come first serve basis. I will reply when we are out and can no longer take reservations. If there is enough intrest in the coin then we will mint more but they will be in a different finish. Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Another question was asked about the sides if they were going to be smooth or have the design like the first picture? They will look like the first picture it is called a diamond cut. If there are anymore question just ask. Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Question I got asked somewhere else so I'm answering it here as well. There are only 65 of each finish being made. So this coin will not have it's own icon. Unless there is enough intrest to order more coins however, if we do that they will be in different finishes. Quote Link to comment
+bluecherry Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Also wanted to let everyone know that the proceeds from these coins is going to Fisher House.
