CacheAddict.com Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Reservations Closing - September 3, 2009 Pictures came out a bit dark. Trust me when I say, "as usual, the coins look better in person". This was a real colaborative effort. The design was brought to me and I worked on it for a while to get it to what I thought and the original design thought was a reletively nice design. I submitted it to the mint and got artwork back. I was just not 100% on the design and so I took it to one of my favorite designers and she took it to the next level and in doing so I am goign to make a 4 coin set, this being the first of the set. I hope to release one of these everyother month or so until all 4 are made. The enamel colors on the front will change with each and the die for the back will change also. The front design incorporates the 4 elements as a number of other coins have done. I think the design is where this coin stand out. The details under the translucent enamel for each of the designs is very original and unique. The back design take the "Earth" elements and creates a small compass rose with a similar design to the front fanning out from there. Size: 45mm x 3.5mm thick Editions: Antique Silver, Antique Gold, Gold, Silver (AE - Still to be determined) Designed By: BrierPatch and Jackelgirl Trackable: www.geocaching.com Icon: *If we reach 250 in sales, there will be a unique icon Reservations Closing - September 3, 2009 Quote Link to comment

MrsJonesen Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I really like this too, I find this coin very appealing. Had to limit myself to two finishes...I'm going a little crazy lately with coinage and stuff. What car payment? Quote Link to comment

+Droo Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Testing.... trying to see if this helped Quote Link to comment
+Cache*Hopper Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I really like the idea and the design. I can't wait to see what the others will look like. Edited August 21, 2009 by Sportbikechick Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Mike was kind enough to send me some samples (can't be thankful enough -- they really are gorgeous in "person"), and I shot some photos with my rig. I'm not professional (as you can tell): Earth Compass -- Antique Silver Earth Compass -- Gold Enjoy, and many many thanks for the opportunity to collaborate on this coin. It was great! Edited to add: the sun's details totally washed out in my photos, but they're clear as a bell in Mike's. Edited August 21, 2009 by Jackalgirl Quote Link to comment

+Minimike2 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Aqua looks to be a shark and a tuna, not a dolphin. Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Aqua looks to be a shark and a tuna, not a dolphin. They're two bull sharks. Not to horn in on Landsharkz, of course, but ah loves da sharkz. ; ) Quote Link to comment

+Howlingmoon Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I received one of each in the mail today! They are awesome looking coins. I"ll be keeping the antique gold for my collection, and trading the other three. Quote Link to comment

I"ll be keeping the antique gold for my collection, and trading the other three. I got mine yesterday too and was impressed with how much better they look than their pics. Their best quality really is how the light plays on the surfaces below the enamel. Nice job Jackalgirl. Quote Link to comment
+Jackalgirl Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thank you! But I just "churched up" (to use my Chief's phrase) BrierPatch's original design. It was fun, tho! Quote Link to comment

Well...no need to say how many were sold but if one wanted to list a coin on eBay it would be helpful to know how many were minted for the listing. I didn't realize it was supposed to be a state secret. Quote Link to comment

The reservation page stated that there would be if there were over 250 sold! Never mind-found out there is! Edited October 19, 2009 by Sunrayers Quote Link to comment

+Nikon-ing Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have one of these (purchased off eBay) that came with an activation code, but the code doesn't work. Yes, I've tried every configuration of o's; I's; 8's; etc but it won't work. I went to coincodes.com and the coin is listed in their database under Elements Compass - Earth, but when I enter the tracking number, I get the following message: We were unable to locate any of your tracking numbers. HELP? Quote Link to comment

+Nikon-ing Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Thank you! Email sent, but here's the pic (in case anyone else is interested) It's the polished silver with the translucent green enamel on the back. It's a great coin. I'm wondering when the next one will be out.....? Quote Link to comment
