New Personal Microcoin Design

[Gamma Ray]

Here we go folks, im still looking down a few avenues for my Somerset coin, but still wanted a personal coin so i came up with this:

 

 

It still needs some tinkering but you get the general idea (improvement ideas welcome).

 

Soft enamels, Dark is raised, light is recessed. Recessed areas have a fine sandblasted texture.

 

There would be 250 trackable with a custom icon (More than likely the one in my avatar, without the blue) produced in 3 finishes, 6 different coins in total.

Micro coin 1" in size

 

So either:

 

50 Red + 50 Green in Polished Gold,

50 Red + 50 Green in Polished Nickel

25 Red + 25 Green in LE Two Tone Black Nickel and Polished Gold

 

or

 

50 Red + 50 Green in Matte/Foggy Gold,

50 Red + 50 Green in Matte/Foggy Nickel

25 Red + 25 Green in LE Two Tone Black Nickel and Polished Gold

 

the two tone would have all the raised in black apart from the Geocaching X on the front which would be Gold.

 

What do you guys think?

Would you buy them?

It always depends on price, but since it is a personal coin I would certainly go for a few.

let me know when they go to mint...my tastes tend to run to the greens

I'd be interested in a set or two

 

Nice coin/design!

[+ZeroHecksGiven]

not sure if this is appropriate or not, but this is a coin some local did for an event here in Washington. This was years ago and will never be minted again as far as I know, but great minds must think alike, hehehe....

@NWCREW your "some local" that made the Puyallup apple was the wonderful 2bugs

i think after everything and including postage they are going to come out between 5-7$ each, is that too expensive?

[+t@ndre]

I am also interested

Ive been having more thoughts of finishes

 

I was now thinking:

 

100 Red in Polished or "Foggy" Gold

100 Green in Polished or "Foggy" Nickel

25 Red in Two Tone Black and Polished Gold.

25 Green in Two Tone Black and Polished Nickel.

 

Simplify it down a bit making each colour a bit different in its own right.

I think you need an AE - black apple (BN) with green - a rotten apple .

Somerset apples are never rotten
