+Crowesfeat30 Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Oh, now that is awesome! I hope I can afford at least one. CF30 Quote
+tiki Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 zowie! What an amazing coin - looks like something that you'd find in an alchemist's pocket. I'd love to trade a tikicoin (clay or bronze) for one if you are interested. Great job! Tiki Quote

Tiki I have decided to withhold setting up any more trades before I have all the coins in hand, after the presale. I'd more than likely be interested in this trade then. Quote

+lordzogat Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Can you let us know purchase price when you do know what it will be. Quote

+grodan & fiabus Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 That is a very beautiful piece of art! Well done. grodan Karin Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 I like your pictures better than the "official" pictures. Yours really show the unique aspects of the coin better. You take good pictures. Great coin. I am waiting anxiously for the presell. CF30 Quote
+Trillian-N7 Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 Wow! What a lovely coin. It is great how it all moves. Quote
haysonics Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 A dream geocoin - a multi spinner with globe, compass and zodiac in ye olde bronze :-) Quote
dimkasmir Posted September 14, 2008 Author Posted September 14, 2008 Any news on pre-sales yet? There haven't been any updates yet. I will post here as soon as something new comes up. Quote
+The Amigos Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 I LOVE this coin! I may need two, because I can think of a place to put a cache that needs this one in it, to be "discovered" when the cache is visited! Quote
dimkasmir Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 I have gotten word from CoinsAndPins that the presale is only going to happen at around November, maybe even December. I'll keep everyone updated whenever I get a set date. Quote
dimkasmir Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 I have gotten news from CoinsAndPins that the presale will be some time this weekend! I'll post the link to the sale when it is up. Quote
+Zarya. Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 It's on! http://www.coinsandpins.com/index.php?cPath=25_55 Quote
+burgessfour Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Saw them, bought them Now the wait..... Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 This is a coin I've been waiting for. The price was a bit higher than I had hoped, but I couldn't help myself. I can't wait to get these exceptionally cool coins. Quote
dimkasmir Posted October 10, 2008 Author Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) As several have pointed out... The Brahean Geocoin is up for presale! You can buy it at CoinsAndPins.com. Click here to purchase the antique silver edition and here for the antique bronze. The sale is going to last until next Saturday. Here is the description provided by CoinsAndPins: "Brahe was a noted scientist who helped define early astronomy, navigation, and other fields of study. Even though some of his theories were found to be incorrect when more modern methods were discovered, he still left behind beautiful works of scientific art. This kind of art is long lost in today's technical world. The coin is a 3-D rendition of one of his navigation charts. The coin consist of two opposing spinning rings and a round spinning globe. The texture was designed to give the coin an old world look and feel. This coin concept was brought to us by the geocacher dimkasmir. * Measures 2" diameter * Two opposing rotating rings with a spinning 3-D rounded globe * 3-D designs on front side * Trackable on Geocaching.com * Will have its own icon, if enough are ordered, that will show on your profile when you log a discovery" Edited October 11, 2008 by dimkasmir Quote

+MtnMutt-ProDuckShins Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I checked and re-checked, then made my decision as 2 Bronze. The Bronze just makes this one stand out as an old Treasured item you dug up someplace wrapped in oily old canvas. The silver just didn't suit this coin for some reason but that just me. Now if it had come in Black Nickel I would have gotten more. The fact remains it is a fantastic coin to be an owner. Quote
+Toojin Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) If anybody wants to get an extra antique bronze and trade me, please contact me through my profile or through the trading site linked below. Looking forward to hearing from another trading addict! ------------------ trade arrange, thank you DaFunkyFrogs !! Edited October 11, 2008 by Toojin Quote
dimkasmir Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 A few have emailed about an error in the description for the coin. It refers to the creator of the idea that the sun revolves around the Earth as Brahean. This is incorrect, his name was actually Tycho Brahe. I have already asked CoinsAndPins to fix this error. By the way, thanks to everyone for the great feedback on this coin. Quote
dimkasmir Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 I have just received a note from CoinsAndPins that over 300 coins have already been presold. For those who are interested, this means that the coin will for sure have a custom icon. Thank you to everyone who as already purchased the coin, making the sale so successful even with five days remaining. Quote
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 you did a super fine job on this coin, young man, as the presale shows........Congrats!!!!!!!!!! we can't wait to see the custon icon.......... . Quote
+TropicalParadise Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 So I guess this is the hardest part about buying coins - the waiting! It's a gorgeous coin and I love that it's so spinny! Quote
+Astro_D Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Being an amateur astronomer, I like the idea of this coin, as Tycho (as he's more commonly known) was very instrumental to astronomy. However, he did not create the idea of the sun revolving around the Earth. That was Copernicus. In fact, Tycho did not accept Copernicus' heliocentric theory. Instead he developed a system known as Tychonic system. Tycho however made very accurate and detailed observations of the heavens that led Kepler to develop his theories (and eventaul laws) of Planetary Motion. The coin is nice and I will be buying one or two to add to the collection. Quote
+tom4props Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Ordered mine today. Bronze is my choice. Quote
dimkasmir Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 If you want to purchase a Brahean and still haven't, do it today because this is the last day of the presale! Thank you very much to those who did purchase already making my second coin project as successful (or maybe even more) as my first. Quote
dimkasmir Posted October 21, 2008 Author Posted October 21, 2008 The sale ended yesterday and thanks to you guys a total of 537 coins was sold! I am going to have AEs and LEs (most likely 35 and 40 produced, respectively) which will be 2- or 3-tone for trade soon as well as regular editions. I will post pictures of them when they are produced and in my hands, in about a month. I will also start taking trade offers then. Quote
dimkasmir Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 With about a week until the coins' estimated ship date, I think I will post a small teaser of what the AE will ALMOST definitely look like. Quote
+Vanelle Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Another tiny picture! Wait, I think I see a little frog in it..... (Sorry, impatience makes me silly) Quote
