+Gelugon Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I would like to announce my very first geocoin, “Cache the Dragon”. The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, NC with 318 curves in 11 miles, is America’s number one motorcycle and sports car road. After visiting the area, I was inspired to create this unique coin for this truly unique area. Here is a link to the art work. I’m hoping to receive these coins at the end of this month. These coins will be trackable of course and will have an icon (the US129 side of the coin). http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/mlane67/US129_Dragon.jpg Please let me know what you think.

+geocachingdragon Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 art work looks great sounds like a fun road as well Quote Link to comment
+purplebutterflychick Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Love the art work for this coin. I hope I don't miss the sale announcement I really would like at least one for my collection. Quote Link to comment
+LionsLair Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 very nicely done... I'll keep an eye on this one to go on sale. Quote Link to comment
+NOSNOW Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Nice looking coin. Would like to trade when you get them. Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Having ridden The Dragon I have to see this coin!! And own one too, if at all possible (trade or purchase). Nice work.... when can you show samples? Quote Link to comment
+Gelugon Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Unfortunately I will not be getting samples of this coin. The reason is because I’m trying to get them in hand prior to going to Sturgis (Aug 3rd). When I get them I will try to get some pic’s posted before I go, I just hope I get them before I go.

I've got a few pics like that too.... never did meet the photogs who took 'em. Edited September 21, 2009 by Droo Quote Link to comment
+Gelugon Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Okay, sorry its been so long, I've been really busy the past few months (work and Sturgis trip) and put this project on hold for a bit. I'm currently working on a store that will have the actual pictures and a way to buy them thru pay pal. Yes I have released 1 coin!! It seems that Droo has been watching closely. I will be selling the Nickel and Gold Finish. There are only about 20 gold left, after a few close friends wanted one. I also have a Black Nickel finish, and will only be trading that for others personel coins. I hope to have the site up and running this week (I'll be on vacation) Droo, I might be able to drop one off to you, I'll be in Panama City for bike week! Gelugon Quote Link to comment

Gelugon Just in case Droo doesn't make it in from Cali... maybe we could meet up... I'm always in the crowd somewhere during "Thunder Beach" I'll shoot you an email... Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think this coin is as close as I should get to The Dragon??? Thankfully, that's NOT me in the truck Quote Link to comment
+ModelCitizen Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wow! I just got back last night from riding the Dragon - again. This time I was participating in DragonBall '09. A bunch of S2000 owners get together twice a year to drive the Dragon, the Cherohala Skyway and other local roads. This year we had around fifty S2000's show up. I've driven and ridden the Dragon many times, usually on my sportbike, and it's always a blast! I would love to get a couple of "Cache the Dragon" geocoins. If you run out, do you think you'll be willing to do a remint? Blue skies and happy caching! Model Citizen - Zero Disicpline Quote Link to comment

Model Citizen - Zero Disicpline I agree, I love riding the dragon also, and all the other roads in the area, the Hellbender is my favorite in the area, but The Dragon is the best known. Glad you had fun and returned safe. I do have plans of running more coins in the future if they go over well. I plan on more nickel and some changes to the gold (a limited edition for the 2nd run maybe green glitter on the dragon, not sure yet tho). I have black nickel finish only for trades for owners of thier coins. I will keep everyone posted. Gelugon Quote Link to comment
+Gelugon Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) I finally have a way for you to order them. There are only 17 gold available for sale and only 25 were made. IF more gold are made they will be changed, so these will be a unique 1st run and only 25 will ever be made. There is a nickel finish also available, and for those interested in trading a coin that you have designed, I have a limited amount of black nickel. For those interested you can order them from http://coincache.ecrater.com Thanks Gelugon Edited September 22, 2009 by Gelugon Quote Link to comment
+CyberChemist Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I like this design. I placed my order! Quote Link to comment
