NEW COIN: Dark_Onyx 1982 2009 Personal Geocoin "Fantasy Butterfly"

[+LadeBear68]

Any updates?

[+dark_onyx1982]

After many distractions throwing me off track from finishing this coin, the revisions are finally back in production. I did make a small change to the front of the coin that was bugging me. The artwork as been forwarded to the mint and I will post pictures of the new samples when I have them. I have not yet heard back from the mint, but I assume the revised samples will take 4-5 weeks to come in. I apologize to everyone interested in my coin for the wait, but I felt the revision in design was necessary. ~Krystal

No appologies needed,

NEVER settle for less than you want!!!!!

 

We can wait!!

[+The Evil Poles]

I've just seen your coin , fantastic, really pretty. I'd like to have one to!

[+Little'n]

Thanks for the update. I look forward to adding a Royal to my collection!

[+Raenne]

Am I the only one who liked the black and silver template without color, and thinks that would have been a nice option?

 

[+mysts99]

Just checking in again to see how these are coming. I don't want to miss out on them. I also want to keep this up in the queue so I don't miss it in the thread.

Any news?

[+Chi-Town Cacher]

Well you can add my name to the crowd that's waiting for these to go on sale. It's a beautiful coin and I sure hope I get a couple before they sell out. There aren't all that many coins that I feel I really have to have, but these coins are really something special!

[+cache_in_hand]

Just wondering if you made any color changes on these. You had mentioned that you might.

[+Minimike2]

I can haz?

[+Minimike2]

Do you think these will be available in time for Christmas?

[+Cache*Hopper]

I love the Royal Edition. Update please!

[+dark_onyx1982]

The coins are still coming. The mint is trying a new process that does not discolor the metal under the transparent enamel. I did make one slight color adjustment to the artist edition, I love the others as they are. I promise to post when they will be up for pre-sale on coinsandpins.com.

 

Thank you all for your interest and continued patience through this process.

[+ST13PILOT]

Just sitting here watching and waiting. When you get it right we're going to have a couple.

[+dark_onyx1982]

Update: the revised samples are in. I really like the way they turned out. As soon as I find out when the presales start I will post here.

 

Gypsy Edition

 

Royal Edition

 

Earth Edition

 

Artist Edition - this will not be for sale. I will be gifting and trading this version

 

I know these took several more months than I planned, but I am happy I took the time to revise them and get the minting right. Thank you to coins and pins for your patience and working so closely with me and thank you to everyone on here for your patience. They are finally perfect.

Wow, another must-have-coin for me. I often only fancy one edition of a coin but here are all as nice. Hard to choose. Hope to trade for the trade only and I will most likely buy another one or two.

Very nice work on these. I really like them.
