CacheAddict.com Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Tod, KAboom and I had discussed a new personal coin several times, we just couldn't quite decide what we wanted! We had talked about a motorcycle on one side with the Libby on the other, motorcycle side showing MI landscapes while the Jeep side showing Vegas desert scenery, we just never had the money or time to finalize the design. Tod was taken from us on Aug 12th 2008, just two days after the MWGB...a driver turned into his lane causing Tod to react which turned out very bad for him. Since then, I have worked long and hard on bike awareness projects but still dreamed of a new personal, so I contacted Mike Atwell who turned me on to Madhatter...and we came up with our new personal!! Since bike awareness means so much to KABoom and myself these days, it was only logical to incorporate that message into our coin, and to add a special "In Loving Memory Of Tod" on the top edge! The coin art depicts a driver too distracted by his conversation on the cell phone in his hand, one side shows the driver's view and all the bikes on the road we should all llok out for! The other side is the bike rider's view and tells of how we riders always need to watch for distracted drivers! Remember, distracted driving is as bad as drunk driving, STOP driving distracted!! Our new personal coin is dedicated to Tod! A special THANK-YOU to Mike and Madhatter for bringing this to life for us! Size: 45mm or 1.75" Editions: Gold, Silver and Copper (AE version will be available) Designed By: Tod and Jamie from Mad Hatter's Neverland Trackable: www.geocaching.com Icon: *When sales reach 250 * Shipping & Handling to US & Canada - $3.99 for the first two coins, $.25 each additional ($1.50/order more for international orders) Reservations Edited April 21, 2009 by CacheAddict.com Quote Link to comment

+Rockin Roddy Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Nice job! THANKS!!! I hear the AE will have some really nice extra features like glow and glitter (if we sell enough to get an AE that is). Looking at the samples I have in hand, these coins are the same size as our Tribute coins, the handlebars, bike's engine and gas tank, car's windshield edge, the bicycles' outline and the road are all metal finish and really make the coin look nice!

+Rockin Roddy Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Looks like the last week to order these, get them while you can!!! Not sure if I will have any of these to trade or not, so if you're interested, you might be better off ordering!! THANKS for the interest in these, KAboom and I really enjoyed designing them!!
