+scavok Posted December 10, 2008 Author Posted December 10, 2008 Wohoo, final die art This art includes a translucent enamel, but there will be plain metals as well Quote
+AlliedOz Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Nice one. I'll be doing my best to lay my hands on a couple of these beauties Quote
+HarmFamily Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I assure you I am as anxious as you are for this one!!! I. WILL. HAVE. THESE. Oh yes...I will.... Looking forward to another incredible coin, THIS time however, I WILL be in on the presales!! Oh yes...I will.... Keep up the incredible work!!! Peace, K Quote
+scavok Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 I just wanted to give a quick update. We are simply (bad choice of words there it seems!) deciding on enamel placement at this point. Apparently getting it in between the leaves all over is sort of tough. I'm going to withold that part of the art until it also is finalized, but its lookin real good, trust me I'm excited Quote
+HarmFamily Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Hey All, If you haven't already checked 'em out, the Journey coin is up for presales!! Get your hands on 'em now!!! Man, I just CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CELTIC TREE OF LIFE ANOTHER DAY!!!! This is THE coin for me. Gorgeous design, details galore, the multi-level texturing and coloring....good LORD these are going to be stunning!!!! Just like the NAWWAL coin, this is going to be a real beauty and something you can be proud to own or gift to someone special. Thanks for all the hard work on these, and PLEASE let us all know (via newsletter for SURE!) when they're ready for presales!! Peace, K Edited December 12, 2008 by HarmFamily Quote
+scavok Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 ... trust me I'm excited Almost as excited as Harm here! I will definitely send out a newsletter when photos are in and then when presales open as well. Quote
+HarmFamily Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 ROFL!! ahahahah!! Man, I'm STILL getting feedback from those and friends of those I gifted some NAWWAL coinage to, and there isn't a single person who I've showed mine off to who don't just "have to get one, they're GORGEOUS!!" I love the whole geocoin thing, and there are lots of great coins out there, but it is what it is, and brother, your designs and attention to details have me captivated and, in my opinion and no offense to others, are head and shoulders above the rest (there are a few that are near and dear to my heart from others though...Rainbow Bridge is VERY special, thanks dorkfish, and a few others i've forgotten the official names for) I absolutely love 'em, you've got some incredible skills and I'm stoked to have opportunity to enjoy these coins and share that joy with others. Looking forward to it friend (but, somehow, you already picked up on that! :) ) ahaha! Chat soon! Peace, K Quote
+The Finding Irish 4 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I have been watching this thread for some time with anticipation. As it gets closer I get more worried I will miss the pre-sale. I have a close tie to the Celtic and do not want to missout. I have a second reason for getting an additional coin, a fellow IRISH(person) has seen to it that one of my Son's Christmas wish comes true this season. This would be a very fitting THANK YOU to that very generous person. Please let us know with FIREWORKS when we can put in orders. Quote
+scavok Posted December 17, 2008 Author Posted December 17, 2008 It seems we lucked out: there is only one area on the tree of concern with enamel so we are clarifying and the worst case scenario is that one single leaf may need to be removed I will post the art I received today when I get home and can reduce the image size to something that actually fits in the thread.

+Crowesfeat30 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Very cool! Can't wait to see the samples. CF30 Quote
+The Finding Irish 4 Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Ta-Da! - with the enamel If possible it just got better....... I really just pops now, and the scroll work inbetween just came to life. Quote
+Clan Doyle Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Oh yeah, I'm definately in on this one. Your best design yet! Quote
+HarmFamily Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 ... trust me I'm excited Almost as excited as Harm here! I will definitely send out a newsletter when photos are in and then when presales open as well. Almost being the key word there!! Man, the latest is just absolutely brilliant!! Looking forward to the newsletter announcements!

PLEASE give us a heads-up via Newsletter too! Thanks again brother! Peace, K Quote
+The Finding Irish 4 Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Any new news in the pre-sale? Quote
+scavok Posted December 28, 2008 Author Posted December 28, 2008 Not yet (unfortnately). Presales will open when samples, and subsequent photos, are in hand. The wait for those samples continues... Quote
LoriDarlin Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Very cool coins I am very partial to them, especially since we own a tree & plant nursery. Can't wait to see them done! Quote
+scavok Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) The coin samples should ship from C&P in about a week. Trust me, I'm more anxious than any of you. I will post as soon as they come in, I promise! Edited January 11, 2009 by scavok Quote
+AlliedOz Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 The coins should ship from C&P in about a week. Trust me, I'm more anxious than any of you. I will post as soon as they come in, I promise! Celtic tree of life ships from C&P? please tell my this is just a typo and your talking Journeys ship in a week and we are still waiting on your newsletter to say Celtic tree of life is on presale AlliedOz breathes deep and hopes its all a bad dream Quote
+scavok Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 I'm using C&P as the mint for this celtic TOL coin. I will be holding the presales myself and the order will be filled by C&P and sent bulk to me for distribution. Its a little complicated, I know, but I wanted a reputable and dependable backer for this and to also make them available as quickly as possible. If I were to do it all myself it would be a very very small minting, but if I were do it completely through C&P it wouldn't have taken place for at least another couple months. This was the happy medium and it will work out well for all AlliedOz - when I said the coins will ship in about a week, I meant the samples from the mint, not the whole run. Don't worry, you haven't missed anything! Quote
+scavok Posted January 15, 2009 Author Posted January 15, 2009 Photos are in, the sample are on their way to me now Quote
+ECplus3 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Oh MY! Those are beautiful Scavok! If you keep raising the bar, I'm not going to be able to see it anymore, let alone match it! Congratulations, and put me done for one of everything! Quote
+The Finding Irish 4 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Wow these are better than could have been expected. Put us down for three of the Black Nickel, and possibly others as well. Hope my pockects have more than lint. Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Whoa! Those are AWESOME! I must say I really really like the no enamel ones. Are ant. copper or ant. nickel going to be finish choices? CF30 Quote
+die_anita Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 That's marvelous!!!! I must have those coins!!!! Will there be a pre-sale? Quote
princeshoko Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 holy crap put me down for 2 of each ! give me give me .... er uh sell sell sell Quote
+DJ.J.ROCK Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 scavok- nice coin,,not that i doubted you,, I love your coins and await my frist ones from you the jerony one,, and i love the green coin here can you please let me know when they are available!! mabie we could meet for a cache sometime soon and do a trade or two? Quote
+snoboardz Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Wow, that is an amazing coin. I have subscribed to this topic but I'm still afraid I could miss the presale. Please add me to the list. I would also be willing to trade you one of my personal coins if that is something you would be interested when your coin becomes available. Quote
+scavok Posted January 16, 2009 Author Posted January 16, 2009 Hey All I will post here when presales open, dont worry. I will also be emailing via my website's newsletter. They will be on presale at https://www.scavok.com/shop when they are opened. When I get the samples in the mail I'll take some better pics, including the edge with the inscription and open the sales at that point. There will be a number of finishes available though I wont have photos of all of them when the presale opens.... Antique Bronze Antique Copper Antique Silver Black Nickel Green on Gold Green on Silver Red on Gold Red on Silver Glad you all like it! Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I'm hoping that you will consider Antique Nickle as a future finish choice. It is quickly becoming my second favorite - sometimes favorite finish choice. It is a darker, glossier finish than Antique Silver and really gives a coin a different look and feel. Rather like a brushed black nickel. My Yaahl's Feather came out wonderfully in antique nickel. CF30 Quote
+Mar-elendili Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Whoa, another beautiful coin! I especially love the green-enameled one, the design just seems to pop out better. Great job! I guess this will be on my wishlist... Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 <weeping> Stop making such cool coins! I'm running out of money! ; ) Quote
+geocachingdragon Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 very cool especially like the one with the green translucent Great job on these Quote

CF30 CF30 I will look in to it, I haven't seen the finish in hand before so I can't say I agree or disagree. If there is ever a second round sent to the mint, I was considering chrome. It sounds similar, though shiny rather than antique. But I like the darker-than-silver idea! Edit: wait a minute.... that feather..... Edited January 16, 2009 by scavok Quote
+Coyote's Girl Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Wow, I just hopped onto here to see what the Tree of Life would look like, and now... I want one. What are the prices, and when will they be availiable? A great deal of my ability ti get one hinges on the price. Quote
+kimba off track Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Hope I didnt miss presales! Went to store and it said sold out!!! I hope not!! Great looking coin! Quote

Nope haven't missed it yet, I'm just prepping the site for incoming coins. The Tree and new Journey coin finishes will be sold at the same time. Quote
princeshoko Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 got an idea of when? Id hate to miss it as I work 2nd shift. Quote
+GeneL74 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Just signed up for the newsletter... I definitely want a couple of these when they are available. Thanks Quote
