+LadeBear68 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I am posting a picture of my geocoin. Samples are currently being made, but I am trying to determine if I want the coin to be gold, antique nickel or polished gold. We tried black nickel and it didn't work out. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Quote
+cache_in_hand Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Oh that is going to be adorable! I think it would look nice in antique nickle. Edited June 11, 2009 by cache_in_hand Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 That's really adorable. I think either nickel or gold would be nice. Quote
+MustangJoni Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Oh, it is soooo cute!!!! I think I lean towards gold, but I'm sure whatever metal you choose will be great! Quote
+Shadow's Friend Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 The coin is beautiful!!! I think both gold and silver will look great, I am partial to gold coins. Thanks for sharing it! Quote
+drneal Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I like the gold also! Looking forward to seeing the coin..will you accept trades? ILYK Quote
+TeamEccs21 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I'm voting for gold. Will you be trading these when they come in? Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 I guess I should add that they will be 1.75" and trackable with a panda icon. I will be giving out a couple of them and trading a few but not sure how many. Quote
+FScout Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Aah, they are very cute. I think I would favor the gold also. Quote
+Chickahominy Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Oh my goodness! That is the cutest coin ever! I hope to be able to add one to my collection. Quote
+sunsetmeadowlark Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I'll vote for gold. Whatever way you go, I absolutely have to have one, it's adorable! Quote
+OshnDoc Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Love it. I would use nickel. Goes well with the black and white of the Panda. Quote
+BVnLJ Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 very cute. think I think it will look great in both the silver and gold finishes. had to check out the cache referenced on the front of your coin and then the adorable pictures you took of of the pandas Quote
+tsunrisebey Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Very adorable and I think they would look really nice in shiny gold but I'm a huge fan of antique nickel and I think they would look equally as sharp in that. Either way, I'll be getting me a Panda. Congrat's Andrea on your new personal! tsun Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I really like these too! I think antique nickel would look great! Quote
+cainrcc Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Very nice personal coin for you with the Pandas.I would love to trade or buy one when you get them Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Oh, it is soooo cute!!!! Exactly what I was going to say!!! Gold or silver - either one should work well. I hope we can work out a trade or something. I'd like to get one (or more) for myself and I have a cacher friend who would probably like one too. CF30 Quote
+Clan Doyle Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Very nice. I'm definately willing to trade our personal for one. Just keep us posted! Quote
+pandabeertje Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I felt in love with this coin. :D I really would like to get my hands on those beauties, because I'm a very big Panda-fan. That's also why my nickname is "Pandabeertje" which means Little Panda in Dutch. Please keep me/us posted on how to get one or more of this very nice coins . Quote
+gardengorilla Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Normally I would vote for copper but I really think gold would be outstanding in this case. I'll be looking to trade personals down the road... Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Very, very nice! I, too, vote with gold. It'll complement the greens of the coin, especially of the back, very nicely. : ) Quote
+Howlingmoon Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I almost always prefer gold. Will you be selling any ? I never have anything to trade. Quote
+millieballon Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I hope you'll be selling them also. It is a nice coin. Or maybe i have something for you on my traders list. Quote
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 looking great...........hoping we can trade for antique nickel...........congrats on a great looking personal... Quote
ATMouse Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Either/or, it is a great design. But I do like the warmth the gold brings to the coin. Quote
+opalsns Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Beautiful Coins. You have got to try one in COPPER for sure. A nice antique copper finish would accent the Pandas beautifully! Maybe as an AE or Artists Edition. I would love a trade!! Opalsns Quote
+PengoFamily Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Very cute! I think polished gold would be really nice and I also think copper would look good as well. Quote
+Turlutortue Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I just love this coin. Gold definitely but Have you though of Antique copper?? Quote
+BlueMotmot Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I'm not any good at choosing metals, but your coin is awesome! Quote
+Frank n Beck Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Nicely done, gold might work well with design Quote
+tadpole379 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I really like it And I vote for polished gold! Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Have you considered a satin metal? I think that would look very sharp in either gold or silver. Nice coin. Quote
+LadeBear68 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 Thank you for the compliments and great suggestions. I didn't think of copper. I am not sure what a satin metal is. A lot of credit goes to Jamie and Sara of Oakcoins. I feel sorry for both of them for all the questions and corrections I have had. Quote
+Belfrypotters Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Any finish would look great with that coin. Very nice! I loved your photo of the four pandas. They look like old codgers sitting on the bench outside the hardware store on Main street, talking about the weather . Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Thank you for the compliments and great suggestions. I didn't think of copper. I am not sure what a satin metal is. A lot of credit goes to Jamie and Sara of Oakcoins. I feel sorry for both of them for all the questions and corrections I have had. I'm certain lots of questions and corrections is just a standard part of the process. They'd probably be the first to tell you not to worry. They want you to be happy with your coin! The satin finishes have more of a matte appearance - not shiny. In some coins this really sets off the design without drawing attention away from it. I think this can give coins a certain elegance and richness. But of course that is just my humble opinion. Other's opinions likely vary. Also - when I had our personals made I ordered samples in both gold and bronze. They are so similar! But I felt the bronze was just a tad warmer in gold tone - less straw colored. Just FYI. I'm sure whatever you choose it will be beautiful. Edited June 11, 2009 by ThePetersTrio Quote
+sweetlife Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 We love coins that have animals, birds, flowers, Your personal geocoin is Absolutely Adorable. Our favorite metal is Copper, but this geocoin would look great in Either copper of gold to bring out the Green Leaves. We would be interested in trading /purchasing one when they are ready. A side note: the money that is invloved to make your coin become reality and I am sure it is not cheap either, you should be able to ask all the questions and all it takes to get your coin just the way you want it. Lovely Coin. Please let us know when they will be ready and thanks for showing us the samples. Quote
ANDILLYO! Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Very nice design, love it! Front and back are both awesome!! I see why black nickel didnt work out so well. Little to no color seperation in some areas. I am sure what ever you choose out of the ones you like will look very nice, my vote is polished gold. Bling! Edited June 11, 2009 by ANDILLYO! Quote
+ThirstyMick Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 ooohhhhhh sooooo cute I hope you'll consider trades! Antique Silver is usually my favorite metal but I think this would look great in Gold too! Quote
+grodan & fiabus Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Ohh, my... that is the sweetest coindesign I have seen in a long time. Must try to get one of those when the come out. grodan Karin Quote
+Tank Hounds Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 That is a great coin. And I have no clue on metals either....so look at the samples closely and get what you think works best! Quote
+SUCKERISH Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Those are adorable! I think they'll look good in either gold or silver. I'm personally partial to silver. If you are trading or selling, I'm definitely interested. Great job on your coin! Edited June 12, 2009 by SUCKERISH Quote
+kini_ont Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Love the look of this coin as for metal colour ? what ever pleases you! Will please us Quote
love2cat Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I vote nickel. (Wait that means I will spend more money on coins) On second hand don't produce it so I don't have to buy it!!! LOL Great coin and I look forward to seeing it. Quote
