I hope everyone enjoys this coin! I would also like to extend a special thanks to Tsun who helped guide me through all the translucent color choices and offered some great advice about color and metal combos. Thanks Tsun!

Pretty! Got some for me-self! Sending a hopeful email now for the shimmery orca!

 

I didn't get an email from you. Please try again!

 

Thanks, everyone, for all the compliments!

Those turned out cute Melissa, I like the emerald edition the best :D

 

I thought you might since this was your color suggestion. It was a good one, too. Thanks for all your help!

Very nice coins. I just ordered both the RE and LE. It's nice to have caught some really nice newly minted coins before being sold out. My newly acquired geocoin addiction coupled with Ebay is going to take me to the poor house. :P

You really need to put the photo's you had posted in here somewhere where they are still viewable so that people can see what this coin is please.

I also clear off old pictures from my photobucket account...you can find photos of the coin on most geocoin trading sites....check out my link at the bottom...I have a picture of the LE version.

Thanks for that. So that is what it looks like.

 

Problem is these forums are "for ever"... or a long time at least - in theory. And anything posted in to them should be preserved for the duration of the forums. Otherwise you have the potential to loose the complete picture (pun not intended).

Nice in theory but the pictures are not loaded to the forum. You have to upload them to an external site.

That's why i load mine to geocaching.com, figure these forums will cease before that site...

This announcement is more than a year old. Sorry you missed out. That's what you get for taking a break from coining!

"That's what you get...?" :sad::shocked::angry:

 

Lately I have been purchasing a number of geocoins that are older than my history with geocaching. The old coin threads in this forum covering the original release have proved invaluable for information regarding front and back design, designer, finishes, minting numbers, original purchase price, age and even the back story behind the coin. Rarely do trading sites offer more than a small blurry photo of one or two versions and very little information. Many coins don't even make the trading site's list. Between the geocoin forums and, occasionally, personal collection web pages, I have been able to uncover most of the information sought. Even for some of the earliest geocoins. Thank you to the vast majority of the designers that have continued to keep their coin's history intact, even long after they may have left geocaching in some cases.

I think keewee is trying to compile a catalog of geocoin images, rather than looking to order.

 

Correct - I wasn't out to order one, I wanted to see a picture of one to clear up what the coin looked like.

 

Eartha - you're the second person lately to suggest I'm putting together (or should be putting together) a catalog of coins! :o:laughing::laughing: :laughing:

Well, I was thinking along the lines of a personal catalog, but hey, if you want to take it on! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
