+2bugs Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 We are just about ready to green light our new coin. Once the coins are in hand, we will release 50 into the wild as travelers and offer about 100 as trade coins. we will not be offering the coins for sale, trades only. The white circle at the bottom right of the face is a hole for attaching travel buddy tags. 2bugs Quote

+SeabeckTribe Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Put me down for a trade please!!! I'll have to update my trade list and hope I have something you would like. Lummieh Quote
southpawaz Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I'm interested in trading for one of these, either for something off of my trading list at geocoincollection.com or my Big Bean Geojelly, which is just about to be minted. Quote
+keewee Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Very nice. I would be interested in trading for one. Also, if you wanted some released in a land far, far away I could drop some here for you. Quote
+donorgirl Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) Me too! I would love to trade my personal "sisters" coin for your cute coin. Please add me to the list. Michele Edited April 3, 2008 by donorgirl Quote
+2bugs Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Very nice. I would be interested in trading for one. Also, if you wanted some released in a land far, far away I could drop some here for you. we would like to have a 2bugs coin traveling down under, so we will take you up on that offer. Quote
+MommyFinder Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I've tried unsuccessfully to get your older coin, would love to trade for this one! Quote
+Toojin Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Mr. Bugs - This is going to be another great coin !! Congrats !! Quote
+Shop99er Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Ooooo....glad I set up my trade for this in February. Quote
+2bugs Posted April 4, 2008 Author Posted April 4, 2008 We had to make a change on the back of the coin. To get the bugs in 4 colors was going to cost an additional $260 so we are going with red bugs with black dots on the back, similar to the front. I don't think it will diminish the design too badly mr. bug Quote
+Butterfly_lady Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Very nice. I would be interested in trading for one. Also, if you wanted some released in a land far, far away I could drop some here for you. Ditto - Would love to see one down here in NZ. Also happy to release one - also off to Perth WA, in July.

+derschlings Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Let me know if you'd like one released near Disney World, or Sea World, or Silver Springs, ... shoot, just name the attraction in Florida and we can get ya there. Quote
+2bugs Posted April 11, 2008 Author Posted April 11, 2008 The final artwork was approved today and the order was placed (paid for, ouch). That means coins should be in hand the first week of May. Here is the final count of coins that will be available. 60 Antique Bronze - all of these coins will be released in the wild with a Travel Buddy tag attached. If you have an AB in your collection you are a thief! 75 gold - RE 75 silver - RE 25 copper - LE 25 black nickel - LE 15 Iridium - XLE (inside joke, they are actually two toned satin silver and gold) if you trade for a 2bugs coin and intend to turn it loose, let us know and we will include a Travel Buddy tag. The coin has a pre drilled hole to accomodate them. When the new coins land we will begin to take trades from the Forumites. Look at our keepers list on either of the 2 popular coin sites (can I mention them by name or url?) Find a hole in our collection that needs filling and make us an offer. We will make every effort to accomodate all traders. After a week or so we will post a coin edition and go public with the trade offers. Now a topic that has bugged me for a while. How can a coin be called an LE when there are 250 minted? I realize there is no standard, per se, but it seems the entire LE, XLE thing is wide open for interpretation. Perhaps this is a separate thread. My thoughts are that coins should really be 50 or less to be considered an LE and more realistically something like 25. Your thoughts? 2bugs Quote
+The Moop Along Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I just feel like posting in a thread that is calm, so Mr. 2bugs earns my vote. Nice to see yet another well done personal coin that is not being sold. As always I applaud you. Oh, and let me know when I'm supposed to send my end of the trade. Thanks TMA Quote

Thanks TMA Hey Moopster, changed my mind...$50 each Booowahahahaha the evil coin bug BTW, last minute change, no BN LE. turns out the iddy biddy black bug legs would be invisible against a black background. Instead of BN the other LE metal is now antique silver. Quote

+Marky Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Save us a trade. I need to come up with something you want. --marky Quote
+2bugs Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 finally, the coins are in. I will begin trading some time next week. mr. bug Quote
+dflye Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 finally, the coins are in. I will begin trading some time next week. mr. bug Woo hoo! Hope I'm still on the list there somewhere.... Quote
+Droo Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 finally, the coins are in. I will begin trading some time next week. mr. bug Forget me NOT. Quote
+2bugs Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 finally, the coins are in. I will begin trading some time next week. mr. bug Woo hoo! Hope I'm still on the list there somewhere.... the only list I have so far is those who have actually sent us a coin or proposed a trade and we have accepted. I have not thought about a mechanism for the trades here on the forum. I suppose I could go through every post and write each person individually but that seems cumbersome. What if I just start a new thread and ask for people to contact me directly with trade proposals? suggestions? Quote

Hmm, I guess my question was a bit oblique....we've conversed via email already, was just wondering if that proposed trade was still in the pipeline, as it has been a few weeks. Quote
+cainrcc Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Very nice looking coin I just looked at the pictures and the XLE Iridium (two tone) looks great to bad I diden't trade you for one of them.I diden't see a picture for the antique bronze traveler coin,just wondering what it looks like. Quote
+The-Wolf-Pack Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 finally, the coins are in. I will begin trading some time next week. mr. bug yeah!!!!! Can't wait to see this coin in hand the children just love lady bugs they will love this coin Quote
