+Jackalgirl Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Howdy, everyone -- I'm happy to announce that the Egyptian Key geocoin is now up for reservation until February 24th at Cache Addict. Here are some shots: The coins feature an ankh, also known as the "key of life", entwined in a pair of lotus blossoms. The blade of the key is made up of a djed symbol, the hieroglyph for stability. The Middle Egyptian text tucked onto the back of the coin reads "imnt", or "hidden place". The coins are fully 3D with 2D lotus blossoms that make use of translucent imitation hard enamels. There are five versions available for reservation at $10 apiece: Classic - Antique Silver Spring - Satin Gold Summer - Antique Bronze Autumn - Antique Copper Midnight - Black Nickel & Nickel Two-Tone Free gift for three coins ordered (and there's a picture of the gift at the reservation page). Although the pictures are a little on the dim side, I'm still really happy with how these coins turned out. They are a hefty 3" long/tall and 1.75" wide and a cord could easily be passed through the ankh's loop to make an attractive pendant (which is exactly what I'm going to do). Reserve yours today!

+Jackalgirl Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 Ooops! Forgot to mention that it will have a unique icon, too. Quote
+EyeD10T Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I got my reservation in - nice coins! Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 these are lovely. they remind me of asian hair ornaments. now make some with two prongs and i can use one to keep my hair up! Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted February 13, 2011 Author Posted February 13, 2011 I was just thinking that /without/ the prong -- and longer -- it could be a hair stick. : ) Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Awesome. I likey. I reserved me some. Quote
+Ruud4d Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Classic - Antique Silver Spring - Satin Gold Summer - Antique Bronze Autumn - Antique Copper Midnight - Black Nickel & Nickel Two-Tone I reserved my set as well this morning (writing this at 18.20 CET). And when I read the topic/anouncement, I thought: "5 versions? I'm sure I ordered 6." So I checked and found out there's also the Gold/Silver-version on the site. Maybe another one that was last minute decision? And what would be the name for that version? If it is an Artist Edition that wasn't supposed to be on the site, did I earn a reward Quote
+JackHoe Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I think number six is a two tone version; Gold/Silver. I also reserved a set of six Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 I stand corrected! Math has never been my strong suit. ; ) But Ruud4D and JackHoe: you're absolutely correct. There are six, not five, versions, including the gold/silver two-tone. Thanks! : ) Quote
+AtwellFamily Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Funny I have a supper secret version on my desk that makes 7 if I decide to produce that version. Quote
+Tonyalynnm Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Got my reservation in. Just got the midnight version, I have been spending WAY to much on coins lately. I think I have a problem Quote
+Ashallond Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 hmm, do I want one of these or not...decisions decisions..... Quote
+AtwellFamily Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 hmm, do I want one of these or not...decisions decisions..... NOPE...You want 3 of these...at least, Quote
+Ashallond Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 yeah, it's the other things that I'm having to pay for these days (like fixing a house foundation) that makes this a difficult decision... Quote
+southern_angel Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Got my reservation of 6 in, just in time too. Thought I would go ahead and get it before its too late and then I'm kicking myself for not getting one and then it will be like all the other beautiful coins I wished I had. Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I got my invoice tonight and paid all up. I can't wait to see them. Maybe if I cross my fingers and wish really hard, one of those SUPER SECRET 7th versions will find their way to me. (One can hope. Right?) Quote

+AtwellFamily Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I think I forgot to mention that the coins would not fit in any pouch I have used before so they are coming in a nice black velvet bag. Hope you enjoy! Quote

+Team kizb Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 All I'm getting is "Product not found!" when I click on the reservation link. Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 All I'm getting is "Product not found!" when I click on the reservation link. The reservations ended a while ago. Quote
+AtwellFamily Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 There will be some leftovers but I want to make sure to fill all the orders first. Check back in about 10-14 days for the balance to be listed on my site. Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) now if i had money for geocoins, THIS one would be one of the ones on my list of must have. original, unique and simply stunning. as i probably have said already, gorgeous work jackalgirl! (you would think my keyboard would know how to spell by now) Edited April 3, 2011 by RedShoesGirl Quote
+AtwellFamily Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Anyone who missed out or is wanted more than they ordered. The balance of the coins are now in stock I have over 8 people back out of reservations so come and get um. CacheAddict.com Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 As it was a nice sunny day today, and as I'd gotten a nice, big box from Cache Addict (Christmas in April! Yaaay!), I thought I'd shoot some pics: Antique Silver "Spring" - Satin Gold "Summer" - Antique Bronze "Autumn" - Satin Copper "Royal" - Gold and Silver Two-Tone "Midnight" - Nickel and Black Nickel Two-Tone Artist's Edition - Black Nickel Yes, that is a towel. ; ) The coins are about 3" tall and a little over 1.5" wide and come in a little drawstring velveteen bag. All of the coin editions except for the AE and "Midnight" (sold out -- sorry folks) are available at the Cache Addict's site. Thanks for looking! Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Artist's Edition - Black Nickel WOW!!!! That AE is fantastic. I really , really love the green. I am gonna put it on my "would really like to have it, but probably will never have it" list. Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 I'm actually going to be putting some of the AEs up for auction for the benefit of Japan - check out the Japan Geocoin Auctions for Earthquake Relief thread. I'll probably have them up tonight, given that I really, really ought to spend tomorrow doing proper work (in between meetings). Ah, the dangers of being home with a freely-available computer and Adobe Illustrator! Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 ...and the auctions are up in the abovementioned thread. It's high time I went to bed. Good night! : ) Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Well I put in a bid. I am sure they will quickly go over my budget, but atleast I tried. Quote
+Team kizb Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Well I put in a bid. I am sure they will quickly go over my budget, but atleast I tried. Very cool looking item, great job Jackalgirl! Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 For what it's worth, I've put another AE up for auction, this time to benefit two animal charities in South Carolina. Check out my post in the Oceanside Kitties coin thread for the link to the auction. Thanks bunches for the kudos; I'm pleased that people are getting a kick out of the coins. I think they really turned out beautifully; Mike did a great job working with the mint to get them just right. : ) Quote
+Mekle Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Hey Jackalgirl, I was wondering... Is it safe to extend the pattern, and assume that the Antique Silver is intended to be "Winter"? Quote
+Jackalgirl Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 It was actually the very first one I did, before I came up with the "season" naming scheme for color combinations. But I've absolutely no objections to it being named "Winter" since it's all wintery and all. : ) Quote
+RSCAENSD Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Wow, got the three antiques in the mail today! Might have to swing for Spring, and those AE's look fantastic on the auctions! Great job all the way around. Quote
