+LadeBear68 Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Very nice. I hope they will be open to the public. Quote
+GeocoinGuy Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Sales of this coin will be open to the public - it will be announced through my newsletter as to the sale date when I have the tracking number. A Carousel Lion Sales thread will be opened on these forums to announce the sale date 24hours in advance for those not on my mailing list. Not happy with the purplish mane on the brown lion - so I changed that color - also, each lion color will have different colored stones - mint is fixing that too. As I said in my photo post - these color schemes do not match the metal platings - I wanted the samples to be different than the production coins. ~J Quote
+LionsLair Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 ok, here goes a kneejerk personal opinion from a lion fanatic... first ...will I buy these coins? yes,...dumb question... do I like them? ...yes, they look great! ...on a scale from 1-10, I'd give them a 8... *remember, I'm entitle to my opinion....* what would make them a 10 in your opinion? ...give the black and white version a different color mane than the body in both coins... you mention that you don't like the way the purple came out ...I think the color change actually makes it a better looking coin... any color change between the body and mane would make these look totally awesome, whether it be a slight shade difference or as different as mixing the black and white... a white lion with black mane would rock! I certainly hope I haven't offended anyone by having an opinion... you know what they say, opinions are like.... well you know! I'll still buy them as they are regardless... I've been waiting for these for awhile... something tells me my monthly coin budget just hit the garbage can! ... Quote
+LuckyAquar Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 These are beautiful coins that I am hoping to be able to purchase. I also like the horses as well, but I don't have any. I am hoping to get the horses sometime. I will definitely be keeping my eyes open for the carousel lion sale. I agree with LionsLair. I think that different colored manes for both the black and white lion would bring them out more. Quote
+Cheesy pigs Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Yeah I agree with what was said above too, but with that being said... I have all the horses (because I couldn't pick just one!) And I NEED all those lions!! How gorgeous!!! I will need a new carousel for them to be displayed properly - like my horses are (thanks ATMouse! ) Dagnabbit - so much for not needing coins anymore Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Very nice! I'm looking forward to hearing about the production finals. : ) Quote
+GeocoinGuy Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Well, like I said - these are NOT the production run photos - these are the samples, as I was trying different color combination's with different platings. I can't wait for the production run pictures.... ~Thanks for the comments - - I was more or less checking for the mold and textures with these samples.. to make sure it was correct. ~J Quote
ATMouse Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Yeah I agree with what was said above too, but with that being said... I have all the horses (because I couldn't pick just one!) And I NEED all those lions!! How gorgeous!!! I will need a new carousel for them to be displayed properly - like my horses are (thanks ATMouse! ) Dagnabbit - so much for not needing coins anymore Just ask, ya silly! What are friends for, eh? And I gotta agree about the black lion...what if you put clear epoxy over the mane part? - a black lion with a silver mane!!! An someday I want the AE version of the horses...sigh...ya gotta have something to lust after, I suppose. Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted August 15, 2009 Author Posted August 15, 2009 These samples look great - and with the planned color changes, the coins will look incredible! I'm pretty excited about these! =) Quote
+LionsLair Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Snippet... I'm happy to inform you all that the Carousel Lions are IN PRODUCTION right now... ....I ran into a snag, but should have the Carousel Lions in hand by the end of the month (knock on wood). ~J I'm just trying to get some ducks in a row as I see many wanted coins going on sale soon and would like to know if these have been delayed further? ...budgeting coins is getting harder these days with all the great designs... any info would be appreciated!

+GeocoinGuy Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I got production pics!! Wooty!! Coins will be in hand this weekend - not sure when I am putting them up for sale... could be a few days... could be a week or more... Only my newsletter recipients will know for sure!! The photos are kinda pinkish from the mint - but here they are... Quote

+Eartha Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Merging with Carousel thread already open. One coin design, one thread, keeping all the history in one place. Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Me too, tho I'm afraid I had to pass on the set. Too rich for my blood (at $16.25 per coin). I'm happy to get the two coins I like best, tho! Quote
+LionsLair Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 got mine! ILYK me too.... there went another $100... so well worth it though.... been waiting along time for these... Quote
ATMouse Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Well, I got three but I didn't see where the others were. I'm thinking they are sold out? This is what I get for having a life...<sigh>... Quote
CinemaBoxers Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 Love these - its hard to see the details in the newer photos, but I'm loving them. Can't wait to display them with the horses! (Which sit right by my puter!) If these do well, I have a VERY neat surprise planned for the Carousel Series! We will see!!! Quote
+GeocoinGuy Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Just a note that the Carousel Lions will NOT be reminted - <shameless plug>There are still some available, so grab 'em up! </shameless plug here> ~J The next in the series is going to blow minds Quote
+ST13PILOT Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Ours arrived today, they're sweet! I'm really glad we scored the whole set but I'm torn between the Polished gold and the Black Nickel for my favorite. The wife likes the Satin Gold. Wish that D--N deer hadn't screwed up so much plastic on my bike, it's putting the pinch on my coin budget! I'd love to have a couple of spares. And it's already time to start setting a few dollars aside for the next one YAY!!! My guess is it's going to be Christmas Reindeer and the XXLE, super special version will be Rudolph complete with a blinking red nose like the little winker on the GCC nameplate coin. And since I picked it out of the air before anyone else I'm going to get the first one! Or not. Thanks Geocoin Guy, nice coins! Quote
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) How many Lions exist? Polished Gold (Brown Lion/Purple trappings) Black Nickel (White Lion/Purple trappings) LE Satin Gold (Brown Lion/Green trappings) XLE Satin Silver with Glitter (Black Lion w/Purple trappings) 4? Does anyone have a pic of all of them? Edited April 12, 2013 by Where'sMyMarbles Quote
+mamoreb Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I have been researching this myself, and I think there are only four. I know that I have seen pictures of them all, but today I can only find three of them on Google image search. Personally I still miss both the LE and the XLE, but I have a spare of the BN/purple one, I think. What about you, are you also searching? Quote
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I only have the LE Satin Gold (Brown Lion/Green trappings). Not sure if I'll go after all of them or not... hahaha. Let me know if you do have an extra Black Nickel (White Lion/Purple trappings). Quote
