+wenzelbub Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) First sample-coins arrived last weekend and here they are: Polished Gold Antique Gold Antique Gold in sideview About the motives: On the front, you can see Naymlap, Lord/God of the Lambayeque-Culture, located between 700 and 1300 A.D. in the area today named "Peru". On the back, you see stone-carvings, that can be found in the former capital town "Chan Chan" of the Chimu-Culture. Top-Down: river with fishs, pelikane, sea otter, fishingnet and waves. More informations about "Chan Chan" can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Chan size: 2" diameter: 4mm weigth: 25 gr. highlights: front 3D, 2 charms trackable: YES, trackingcode will be on the back on blank area at buttom. unique icon: YES (icon-pic will follow) price: uncleared The turquoise is the same at the polished and antique (which looks more like the color in reality) . I'll order this weekend further sample-coins (different metal and different gemstone-colors). After getting them, I'll decide, which versions will be for sale. The coins will be available on a Pre-Sale in my new webshop. (link will follow as soon as i finished the layout) As soon as I have news, I'll let you know! I hope you like it Stefan PS: Sorry, my english isn't very well... Edited September 1, 2011 by Eartha Quote Link to comment
+OshnDoc Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sehr interessante Geocoin. Very nice, looking forward to the development of this coin. Hope the price will be affordable here in the US with shipping from Europe. Quote Link to comment
+CyberChemist Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 WOW!! I love coins that look like REAL treasure. This definitely qualifies! Quote Link to comment
+sunsetmeadowlark Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Very nice coin! I'd love to see it in a black nickel with red stones. Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Nice job! That antique gold is gorgeous. I think this coin might end up costing me a lot more than the conversion rate from the euro and the shipping..... I just spent the past 20 minutes reading about Chan Chan, and then researching flights to Trujillo Quote Link to comment
+wenzelbub Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 As I opened the envelope with the samples and saw the antique, i thought someone had unearthed the statue after hundreds of years. Third sample was a satin one, but she doesn't look very nice ans will be not for sale, so i did't posted a picture. BTW: The turquoise is the same at the polished and the antique, maybe i should take some new pictures. Quote Link to comment

+fairyhoney Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I LOVE this coin and would add it to my collection in a heart beat. My only concern is the dollar difference between the USD and the Euro Plus shipping Quote Link to comment
+fairyhoney Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 P.S. Can't wait ! Quote Link to comment
+A Mitt Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Very Unique. Not something that would normally be up my alley but - I like it. the details are neat. I'd like to have one of these on my desk to stare at all day. I'm sure someone would steal the little treasure though. I'll be curious of the price with shipping to the US. Hopefully I'll have some $$ set aside to get one? Quote Link to comment
+mousekakat Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Incredible coin and something that really caught my attention since my grandfather has predominantly Mexican Indian in his lineage and it shows in his face and features very much so. I realize this is from further south in the Americas, but it's a close enough connection for me! Gonna be saving my pennies for this one! Naomi Quote Link to comment
+wenzelbub Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Your response is overwhelming, thanks a lot Nice to read that the artwork was no waste of time. Any cool finish-ideas? I have some in my mind but maybe yours are better Post your ideas till tomorrow evening (SA) greetings Stefan Quote Link to comment
+Pabloturtle Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hard to imagine improving the look of the Polished Gold. Looks as though it came right of a museum. BEAUTIFUL design. Quote Link to comment
+wenzelbub Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'll order next days 3 new samplecoins: antique silver and antique copper with different colors for the gemstones and an AE, that finish will be a secret for the moment greetings Stefan PS: Maybe I will change the name to "Chimu" Quote Link to comment
+wenzelbub Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 To answer the question about the price: I think it will be around 9 - 10€ ---> 12 - 13$ plus shipping costs I have to look what will happen to the price for a higher edition (this price was for a total edition of 300 coins), but please let me first see the other sample-coins to deside the variations and get a new offer. After that I can tell you the final price. Quote Link to comment
+Dark Elf Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) this coin looks like a lot of work for the designer.... ...and the result is a beautiful coin with many details:D grüße dark elf Edited April 27, 2009 by Dark Elf Quote Link to comment

+wenzelbub Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 The new sample-coins will arrive around 20th of May, so maybe pre-sale will start end of May/beginning of June. Quote Link to comment
+wenzelbub Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) NEW SAMPLE-PICS: Antique Silver with sapphirine-blue, ruby-red, amethyst-purple and a opal-"glow-in-the-dark" Antique Copper with malachite-green, sapphirine-blue and amethyst-purple THE FINAL VERSION OF EACH PLATING WILL BE IN ONE SINGLE COLOR! Edited June 13, 2009 by wenzelbub Quote Link to comment
+Pabloturtle Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Think the Ant.Copper with the Malachite green would look pretty good. The Ant. Silver with the red or blue, think I favor the red. Out of all of them I still favor the first two in gold. Next would be copper w/green. Great job!!! Quote Link to comment
+Howlingmoon Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm with Pabloturtle on the original pics. I prefer the first gold set. And blue's always my first favorite color to go with. I can't wait to get me one of these! I just hope I have money when they're ready. Quote Link to comment
+anne.and.eli Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 The antique gold version of this is incredible. I love that it looks like a real piece of treasure (as someone else stated) Beautiful coin! Please don't release it until next month so I have the funds for it. Quote Link to comment
+wenzelbub Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Instead of the earlier announced presale I dicided to make a normal sale. Yesterday, I placed the order for minting following editions: 246 * Antique Gold + Turquoise 123 * Antique Silver + Ruby-red 123 * Antique Copper + Malachite-green 18 * Artist Edition (NO SALE AND currently NO TRADE) 246 * Sepp&Berta-Special-Edition ---- 756 Naymlaps in total I did this coin in cooperation with Sepp&Berta from www.myGeocoin.de. Because of the great work with her (over 30 emails with questions were answerd by her), I decided to make a Special-Edition, which will be available only on www.mygeocoin.de. All other editions will be sold over my new webshop. As soon as I know the date of delivery, I will post the URL and date of sale! (Because of holiday, the earliest date of sale will be 3rd of July!) NO REMINTS OF THESE EDITIONS! Depending on the success, maybe I will decide to make new versions, but no remints of the above mentioned editions! Greetings Stefan PS: Presale of my travelstamps will be at same time, so you can save shippingcosts (If you can wait till the travelstamps were minted) Edited June 12, 2009 by wenzelbub Quote Link to comment
+opalsns Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Now , You Know I Have To Get An Opal coin, For Sure!!!! I love the way new coins are coming out. I Love the shapies!!!!! Great Job!!!!! Opalsns Quote Link to comment
+wenzelbub Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 One thing I forgot to mention: All editions will become a serial number on bottom of coin (xxx/246, xxx/123 or xx/18) so you can be sure of no remints. Quote Link to comment

ANDILLYO! Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 WOW!! Those are awesome!! i am loving the antique metals as they do look like a relic some one has recently rediscovered. Very nice job on these, I am going to have to have some when they come in so keep us posted. Any chance of a cointest for one when they are done?? Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I love the design and can't wait until they go on sale. Great job. Quote Link to comment
+cache_in_hand Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Ooooh that copper one is nice. So many pretties to choose from. Eagerly waiting for the link. Quote Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hmmmmm, choices. I love the antique silver metal but I wish it only had the red tranlslucent (I know I'm being picky, lol) and I do really like both the gold versions in the first post. I just really love this coin. I doubt I'll be around for the sale but I'm going to make an big effort to trade for these. This coin reminds me of 2 things; first Mayan culture and having studied with the Mayan Indians in southern Belize and second; it reminds me of an artifact from an Indiana Jones movie and I love those movies!

+wenzelbub Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 .... I love the antique silver metal but I wish it only had the red tranlslucent ..... The final version is only with red translucent Just want to save sample-coin-costs, so I made 4 colors for one coin instead of 4 coins with one color Quote Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 .... I love the antique silver metal but I wish it only had the red tranlslucent ..... The final version is only with red translucent Just want to save sample-coin-costs, so I made 4 colors for one coin instead of 4 coins with one color Oh that is great news for me That will be my goal; getting that version first. This is one of the few coin designs that I would love to have each version in my collection. Quote Link to comment
