+anne.and.eli Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Hi all! I've been super busy with research stuff, but I'll say this will end tonight at 9pm pacific! Then I will compile a list of all of the names and pick some favorites. Unless that's too hard, in which case I'm just going to leave it up to random luck! Thanks again everyone! One more change request for the mint but overall it's coming together super fast. YAY! Quote Link to comment

+anne.and.eli Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 First of all, holy cow you guys, that was a LOT of creativity!!! I enjoyed reading through all of the names, but I had to limit it to five "favorites". These may not be everyone's favorites, but they are mine! In order of posting (if one was suggested multiple times, I went with the first person to post it) Moozer - feline groovy ATMouse - the feline finder scificollector - rampant caching Team CeDo - Cat cache fever Gatoulis - Kita tales I'm still toying with le chat rampant, but I like all of these entries a lot as well, so I will sit on them for a bit and figure out which I like the best. For those five people, please message me with your address and we shall figure out which coin to send you! Thanks again everyone!! And I will keep you all updated on how this moves along.

+Jackalgirl Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Congrats to the winners, and thanks to anne.and.eli for the great cointest! : ) Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 WOW! I was trying yesterday night ot enter for a last idea but I couldn't enter in he net! Huh! WOW! I am in the winners! Thank you my friend! Congrats to all winners! There were so mnay lovely names in it! Now... my last crazy idea had to do with names of each metal you will make! What I mean is your cats to have a name! For Silver you can name the cat "Silverster" For Gold you can name the cat "Goldiva" or "Goldie" (female!) For Copper you can name the cat "Coppernicus" For Black nickel you can name the cat BeN Of course this had to do if you named the coin "The Kita's", or Kita Family.... I know.. it sounds strange but I like it!! Quote Link to comment
+Where'sMyMarbles Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 OOHH!!! Very good pics!!! I can't imagine how long that would take me to decide favorites! haha Thank you very much for all the fun! Everyone had such great ideas! Will be watching for this sale Quote Link to comment

+Team CeDo Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Meow!!! thank you so much for the cointest!! We are a cat family, Tigger is a Hemingway, Jack is a Mainecoon and Leo our kitten is a Highland Lynx. We rescued Jack and Leo. Every day when our son comes home from VPK he says "Hi Meow" instead of Hi mom Thanks again we had fun coming up with different names!!

ATMouse Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Whoot!! Thank you!!! We also share our house with a cat, a Ragdoll named His Royal Boo-ness. His first owner couldn't have him, and we took him to his forever home (our house), which he now owns and graciously allows us to live there. His name was Boo because he was born on Hallow'een. "Boo" was too simple for such a lovely dignified creature, so we altered it slightly. I PM'd you as well. Edited April 22, 2010 by ATMouse Quote Link to comment

kdlutz41 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I'm excited also....I think the cat is beautiful....I know it is not a very exciting name but we have "Tom"....our daughters cat....and she named him....and no she is not 2 years old either... He is a good kitty tho... Quote Link to comment
+anne.and.eli Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 The sample designs are at the mint, and we're doing one last adjustment and then they're off to production! The dies have already been paid for. I will likely do a reservation style order (you tell me how many you want, but you don't pay until product is in hand) so I know how big of a minting to request. As for the name, I decided to stick with le chat rampant. However! I have something special in store for the name suggestions I chose as winners. You will see when the samples get back! As a sneak peak, here is one of the sample designs: Enough of you said it looked like a siamese, that I had to follow up on that! Quote Link to comment

Firefly03 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Being a cat lover, this is a must have for me. If you are starting a list, add me in for a set. Quote Link to comment
+anne.and.eli Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Pictures of the samples got emailed to me today. The pictures aren't very good, so I am planning to wait until I have them in hand to take real pictures and post. However, I don't want to leave you all hanging (read: I can't wait to share them with you guys) so here is a picture of the red/black version! Quote Link to comment
+Fiery Searcher Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I think this looks fantastic, photo quality aside! Congratulations...this shows real promise to be a much sought after coin. Quote Link to comment

+rokito87 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Oooooh, so nice! Love it! Will you be posting the reservation notice on here, or will it be done through another website? I definitely NEED to reserve a set!! Quote Link to comment
MrsJonesen Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I love LOVE this coin. It really does capture elegance and mystery of our feline friends. My kitten Kosmo Flapjacks approves as well! Quote Link to comment
+anne.and.eli Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 I will post here about reservations. It won't be a paid reservation system, but more of a count of interest so I can get an idea of how many coins to order. I hope to keep the price lower ($7-$8 range, depending on how many I order) and I'll be making a number of versions. I'm hoping that due to the lower price, people will comfortable letting these guys travel! Cats DO like to roam, after all. Also, I already have two versions planned special for GCF this year. There will be one limited AE version which I think I have picked out. I will need to see the coins in person to be sure. The rest I am not planning to do limits on (other than special event versions). Quote Link to comment
+anne.and.eli Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Also, thanks everyone for the feedback! I've been working on this coin for a long time! I spent a long time working on a background design (the original plan was for a round coin) when suddenly it struck me that maybe I should just make it shaped. Quote Link to comment

It won't be a paid reservation system, but more of a count of interest so I can get an idea of how many coins to order. <snipped> Does this mean we would not have to have a Pay Pal account to reserve, or is that still required? I purchase from online stores through Pay Pal using a credit card. But without a linked account, I miss out on some nice coins because I cannot supply a PayPal address to bill during reservations. I love this coin you have designed, and would like to purchase enough to wild a few. IMO, you should take the largest order number you have floating around in your imagination, times that by at least 4, then maybe I'll be able to catch one or two cats before they all scamper away...

That would be a lot of coins! I haven't checked my storefront to see if it's even capable of doing reservations and what is required. I'll check into that soon! If nothing else, even if paypal is required for reservation by the storefront, you can always email me and I can add you manually. I'm flexible! Quote Link to comment
