CinemaBoxers Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) Geocoin Design proudly presents the "TITANIC" Geocoin AVAILABLE NOW This coin comes from my own personal love of the history of the Titanic and the amazing discovery of its 'remains' after so many years. FEATURING 3D UNDER ENAMEL to create a 'Shipwreck' look. Click HERE to purchase! One side of the coin features RMS Titanic sailing on her Maiden Voyage, while the reverse shows the Titanic as it appears now, underwater - in 3D with translucent enamel to give the illusion of water. The ULTIMATE find - the Titanic sat undiscovered for many years, until it was finally discovered in 1985. The front of the coin also features many details UNDER enamel, and the details on the reverse are also 'Titanic themed' - the scrollwork is from the doors that separated the Grand Staircase from the First Class Dining Hall. Coin specifications: 1.75" Die cut coin Translucent Imitation Hard Enamels FEATURING 3D UNDER ENAMEL for a WATER effect!!! Custom Icons The initial run consists of 350 coins with an entire run of up to 750 total possible. The initial breakdowns are as follows: Satin Silver LE 50 Antique Silver Daytime 75 Antique Gold Daytime 75 Antique Silver Nighttime 75 Antique Gold Nighttime 75 The regular edition coins will be priced at $10.00 USD The LE will NOT be reminted. Designed and minted by GeocoinDesign As a note to our customers - we have had delays on remint orders (Claddagh/Cats) due to GW6 mint orders and also due to the effects we requested. We received samples that were not of the quality we wanted for the remint items, and they are currently IN production. Watch the Forum threads, or our Webstore for updates. You WILL receive an email when the items are in stock and ship. Edited June 29, 2008 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) And.. as usual - the photos DO NOT do the coins justice. These are incredible in person - the photos look great, but the depth of the 3D side and the details UNDER the enamel on the front simply can not show in the photos. The gold is my personal favorite... but the details show so well with it. (My mom prefers the brightness of the silver. LOL) Edited June 6, 2008 by CinemaBoxers Quote
+Team FIREBOY Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 WooHoo. Got mine!! Another absolutely stunning Design Paula! I snagged 2 LE and one of each antique silver day and night version. These will look good in my collection!!!!! YAY! Quote
+derschlings Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Mrs derschlings was VERY concerned about this huge crash... came running in here asking what on earth THAT was... just the coin budget getting thrown out the window. Can't wait to see these beauties in hand! Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Nice job on these. I saw the pathtag about a few weeks ago (not realizing it was yours) and thought - wow! But these coins look amazing in the pictures - I can't wait to see them in my hands. I had to go with the silver and satin silver though - I really thought they popped visually. And it's strange for me because I tend to lean toward gold most of the time....oh well, guess my collection will be a bit more well-rounded with this new addition. Thanks Paula!! Quote
+lake_wannabees Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Wow, I think the tornado warnings were messing with my computer because it took me three tries to get the coins I wanted to order. But I was finally successful. Quote
+Fastest Turtle Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 These look really nice ! Yep, there went the coin budget FUR SHORE Quote
+0R0B0RUS Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I got me a silver set with the LE Thank you once again Paula for such a beautiful design! So is this the start of a new series of coins? Perhaps there is a Hindenburg coin in the making? lol Quote
acadiahiker Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 They don't take Paypal echecks. Just saved $12.50. Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 No.. we dont. Our store doesn't process them correctly - and they've caused us several issues with stock numbers & with shipping. The store DOES take any Credit/Debit Card via PayPal however. Quote
+nashuan Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I just saw this thread and went to purchase some coins and already the LE's were gone gone gone (four hours after the original announcement)! Great job on these designs. I did get some of each of the remaining 4 variations. I've always been intrigued by the Titanic story and actually found Titanic related newspapers buried inside my walls during renovations a few years back. Very moving. I love the underwater effect but am starting to hate this forum. There are just too many talented artists here for my budget and I can't keep up - - - though I'll sheepishly admit I am having fun trying Quote

I got the last one at 6:37 (local time). That's only 31 minutes after the original post! I'm just glad I logged on when I got home from work. I got the newsletter yesterday, then promptly forgot about it Good job Paula! But can you slow down please? My wife is threatening to try and equal my geocoin spending with scrapbooking purchases.

+Nochipra Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 TOTALLY AWESOME COINS!!!! Got ours, YAHOOOO!!! Quote
+tiki Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 What an amazing coin! Wonderful design and very creative (and beautiful) use of the enamel and 3D metalwork. You are the master! Did you keep any for trades? Tiki Quote

+Frank n Beck Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 We picked up two (2) of the AG night version. As always a beautiful job done guys!!!!!!!!!! We can't wait to see these in person! Thanks for all of your time and efforts!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

Sounds like a good deal to me? LOL Equal amounts between geocoins and scrapbooking isn't right. I think it should be a rule in every household that coins always get at least double what the other interests might be. That's fair Quote
ELTADA Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 i just bought two of these - my husband is SO going to kill me! But I couldn't help it, I love the Titanic theme. Quote

+6 Feet More Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I couldn't resist either! Such a nice coin! Quote
+Six Little Spookies Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 WOW! Those are nice! But...I too have overshot my coin budget and last night my car started overheating. I haven't found out yet what that's going to cost, so painful as it is, I have to let this one go by. Maybe I can get in on the remint or a trade. Quote
+surteb Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) These are fantastic! I'll have to hope for a trade somewhere down the line. But, oooh, I want, I want, I want! Edited June 8, 2008 by surteb Quote
+bluecherry Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Wow another coin I did not know about and missed out on. Oh well maybe I will get to trade down the road. Quote
+fairyhoney Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Again, a Cool coin that I missed out on - been happening a lot lately Quote
+keewee Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 WOW!! They're beautiful - especially the 3D/translucent blue!!! Well done Paula - another exceptional design!! Quote
+yalehockeymom Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 I love the Titanic coin and was lucky to get two night coins. I have one for trade when they arrive!! Quote
+KrazyTrollz Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I was away and missed the sale..... drat!!!! Would definitely be interested in the remint!!!!!!! Quote
+Team FIREBOY Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Titanic coins in hand. Beautiful, gorgeous, fantastic and a exceptional design! Great Job again, Paula! Of course, any thing you design is a "must have" Jodi Quote
+nashuan Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) I received my Titanic coins. I'm very impressed with the design of the "underwater" side, though I wish the gold coins showed up better. In the silver versions, the light reflects through the enamel, bounces off the silver and then back out again, showing just enough detail in the wreck to give you a "WOW" factor. The gold is just a little too dark of a metal to do this unless you hold the coin up to very bright light. Under normal house lighting, you pretty much don't see the wreck at all and that is a shame because I believe this coin has expanded the design standards and showed great ingenuity. The front of the coins are tastefully done, though I don't know if the day/night versions were really all that necessary. they are so close in color that if I were to hand one version or the other to someone who had never seen them and asked if this was a "day" or a "night" coin, that I would only get guessed answers. The basic premise of these designs are sound and I hope that my crticisms are not taken in offense. As stated above, I believe them to be an important contribution to the community and hope to see other coin designers expand on what has been accomplished in Titanic.

+Tank Hounds Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Nice job on these. I saw the pathtag about a few weeks ago (not realizing it was yours) and thought - wow! Just a note...the Titanic pathtag was mine! Art done by Team Lareau Was lucky to get one of the Titanic coins even though I was at an event. Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Nice job on these. I saw the pathtag about a few weeks ago (not realizing it was yours) and thought - wow! Just a note...the Titanic pathtag was mine! Art done by Team Lareau Oh hey, sorry about that. They looked so much alike to me that I incorrectly assumed that they were the same design. Your pathtag is cool. Quote
+ArtieD Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I got my LE Titanic coin today...VERY well done! Quote
+6 Feet More Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I ordered two and have the Silver, Day coin open for trades. I am looking for a USA Geo Guitar.......among others. Offers welcomed! Quote
+Team LRS Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Dam........anyone got one of each to sell me please. Quote
+guinea gal Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 "The initial run consists of 350 coins with an entire run of up to 750 total possible." Does that mean there is a possibility of more coins being minted? (fingers crossed) Quote

+Frank n Beck Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Ours came in the mail today, very sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

Does that mean there is a possibility of more coins being minted? (fingers crossed) That was my impression when I bought my coins. We always leave the option for a remint possible when we put a coin up for sale. When we have a firm delivery date on the "Cat got your cache" and "Claddagh" remints, we will offer this "Titanic" coin along with another very special 'surprise' remint offering. ~J Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 Remint pre-sales are open now - you can find them HERE. =) Quote
+Scotsbob Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Bought the full set of 5 on ebay, probably paid over the odds for them but it looks as if everyone wants them so I don't mind, wonderfull job of design Thanks Quote
+Team LRS Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 I emailed them yesterday and got a reply....... Hi Richie, The coins are in production right now. They went in along with another order. Preorders did not close until July 5th. Regards, Jim Collins Geocoin Design Quote
