The Final Results are in and here are the totals:

 

As a 1st choice, black nickel was the favorite with 12 votes, antique silver and antique bronze each got 8 votes, gold got 3.

As a 2nd choice, black nickel lead again with 10 votes, then silver with 8, gold with 7, and bronze with 6.

As a 3rd choice, gold with 10, bronze with 8, silver with 7, and black nickel with 3.

As a 4th choice, gold with 10, silver and bronze tied with 7 each, and black nickel had 5.

 

Now, to announce the cointest winner:

 

I took all of the names in the order they had entered in this thread and assigned a number to them. I then ran the numbers on an online randomizer website to choose the winner. Since there were so many guesses, I decided to give away 2 coins (I ran the numbers twice), so the winners are:

 

LewisClan77 and the4dirtydogs.

 

Both of these cachers have won a nickel version of the Home is Where the Cache is coin.

 

I will contact you both to get your mailing address. Thank you everyone for participating in the cointest and congratulations to the winners! :)

Just to clarify, the prize is not the Black nickel (that one hasnt been made yet). It is the original Nickel version. The Nickel version is the only one that I have had made, with the exception of the samples.

 

I will be minting the coin in other versions in the future, but I am working on a few "tweeks" and have not finished the master plan. :anibad: Once the final plan is complete, I will be making some more. I have not decided the final run, but I will use the numbers that came out in this cointest to help me decide the different metal finishes.

I went out to the mailbox this morning to get my mail from Saturday, and what do I see? A gold padded mailer. I opened it up to find my prize from this cointest. I would like to give a huge Thanks to EyeD10T for the coin. It is ever cooler in person.

 

I am glad that you like it and that it made it there safely! Congrats again and thanks for participating in the cointest! ;)

I have placed an order with the mint for the next run of the home is where the cache is geocoins. The black nickel plating will be the only version that I will do with the same colors as the back of the original coin. I am having gray added to the lettering so it would be easier to read. Here is the art for that version:

I tried different things with the back of the coin on the other platings and decided on white for the ground and a glitter blue on the sky portion. This was the design I tried on the antique bronze sample. Here is the art for that version:

Here is the back of the antique bronze sample:

The following are the versions that I am having run. There will be 20 of each version made. 10% of them will be EyeD10T proof.

 

Black Nickel - original back

Black Nickel - snow and glitter sky

Antique Bronze - snow and glitter sky

Antique Silver - snow and glitter sky

Nickel - snow and glitter sky

 

I am not running any more samples, but will post pictures of the coins once they are received. These will be trackable and will use the original icon. I will accept reservations if anyone would like me to hold one for them.
