+OshnDoc Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I am proud to announce my new personal (team) coin --- "OshnDoc - Family Matters". The front of the coin is showing my life and caching motto "Family Matters". The outer ring of the coin shows our caching activities, five set of feet taking off to find the cache, with big feet leading little ones further away from the cache, changing to a lead of the little ones closer to the cache. The five names on the coin are our individual caching names of "Team OshnDoc", my wife, our three children and myself. The penguin design is based on a piece of artwork I had commissioned from a local Southern Mississippi artist a few years ago, after one of my research trips down to Antarctica. The back side of the coin shows the 3D topography of one of my favorite places in the world (besides home ), Antarctica. This side is the same as on my first coin, released in early 2007. There will be two of the finishes available for pre-sale: Antique Bronze and a Two-Tone polished Nickel and Antique Bronze (see the pictures below). Each coin is 2" diameter, will be trackable at Geocaching.com with its own icon and is individually numbered on the edge of the coin. I will have a couple of finishes for my personal trades and cash drops. Find me at GCF-08 in Pittsburgh for some trades for those finishes. Quote Link to comment
ATMouse Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Oh...beautiful. I like the topo map, I like the use of the two tone, I like the continued theme with the family side, I like the big feet, little feet, I love the cluster of feets around the "G". Bravo. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) They're really nice. I'll trade with you at GCF since the coin funds are a little low at the moment. Edited August 16, 2008 by AtlantaGal Quote Link to comment

+OshnDoc Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thank you everyone for the nice comments about my new coin. I had a great time designing it. Our Team Caching stamp we use in letter boxes and cache logs looks almost like it. Quote Link to comment
+OshnDoc Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 Looks like these are shipping / have shipped. I received my coins and they turned out really nice (and yes I am biased and ready for GCF. ). Thanks again to everyone who purchased one (or more) of them and made this project a success.

+ECplus3 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Both versions are still available on Coinsandpins. Wish I had the money to get a couple, but I have to at least break even on my own coin before my wife will let me buy more! OshnDoc: if you are headed back to Antarctica any time soon, I have a coin that would like to catch a ride and visit a few caches waaaaay down south! Quote Link to comment
+Dolfy Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Mine came in the other day and I just love both finishes! Quote Link to comment
