+GATOULIS Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 well..I haven't seen the 2008, but I grab a compass rose 2007 antique silver with gold weal on the other side, (It is not mine, I have to drop it), and I fell in love with it!!! these coins are unbelievable!!! I had seen a photo of the gold one too.... Who made these beauties??? Even if I do not have the 2007, I really need to say "Thank you for creating this coin" to the maker!!! I see that these coins have high prices!! Far away from my wallet limits! Quote Link to comment
+tokencollector Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 In general, I don't think that C&P tends to release their mintage numbers. I presume the same would be true of the '08 CR coins. Mine came a few days ago and they are nice. I think I like last years' better, but the new ones are growing on me. They aren't as flashy as the previous, but they are elegant. I've got one activated to drop in a cache soon. (I need to drop some TBs I've picked up first.) Quote Link to comment

Must admit, I was a little disappointed with them. 2006 coin is my favorite, followed by last year’s coin. I noticed a 2005 just sold on ebay for $156 and change, which I also like better than this year’s coin. I think if someone bought this year's coin, and had not seen the others, they would wonder what all the compass rose mania is all about!! Sorry to be a downer!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+4damFam Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 The YimeRose is the Artist's Edition - 21 made The Black Nickel with Polished Nickel is the Limited Edition - 65 made No information has been released about the quantities of the other versions. You can find a lot more general information about the coins at compassrosegeocoin.com. It lists all the versions from each year. Quote Link to comment
