lorca.nl Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 no doubt about it Lorca and me are in for 3........ great work len..... Quote
+NepoKama Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Would definitely be interested in getting some. Had the privilege of meeting Mike a couple times and always enjoyed hunting for his caches. Quote
+Toojin Posted March 5, 2011 Author Posted March 5, 2011 Art has gone to the mint, we should have mint art to show soon... Quote
RedShoesGirl Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 any possibility some of the enamels can be translucent? Quote
+River Drango Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Heck Yeah! Translucent Enamels would ROCK!!!! Quote
+Toojin Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 any possibility some of the enamels can be translucent? I don't know. That is under discussion, and / or the possibility of glitter because Mike liked glitter. Maybe some on the tiki side. Like how about glitter on the lei or the torches? The deal with translucent is if we do black nickel translucent doesn't really work does it? I don't know what metal is in the works... We are coordinating this whole thing via e-mail in 5 busy lives, so sometimes there are pauses.... Quote
+anne.and.eli Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) As long as you aren't doing 3D (which you aren't) and imitation hard enamels (not soft enamels) translucents work fine with black nickel. You can double check with the mint, but many (all?) of them do black nickel plating after IHE if it's not 3D. I'd guess it has something to do with the stoning process. Here is one side of the black nickel sampler coin; as you can see, the colors are not muddied at all. Edited March 8, 2011 by anne.and.eli Quote
+Shop99er Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Hey, Lenny. Please put me and TTUMS down for one each. She finished the shower this week, and started the hearth today. Quote
+keewee Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) It still looks really, really nice and I'll definitely be getting one. Great job Toojin Will it be done in Black Nickel? Edited March 9, 2011 by keewee Quote
+Toojin Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 It still looks really, really nice and I'll definitely be getting one. Great job Toojin Will it be done in Black Nickel? Yep, that is the plan... some mention of making an LE gold, but don't know that yet... Quote
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Looking good...is this final? Would the hole look better on the opposite side, then it would not interfere with any elements if the design. It would be to the left of the Tiki, and the right of the dates. If needed, the bank of the river could be slightly adjusted to make the entire punchout fall within the sandy area, instead of half in the river. Edited March 10, 2011 by WRITE SHOP ROBERT Quote

+gardengorilla Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 What a beautiful idea Lenny, please count me in for one as well. Quote
+Toojin Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks to anne.and.eli for posting the translucent sample! We are going to try some translucent enamel. Here is the latest mint art. I think they have started working on them... Quote
Maine Family Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Very nice coin for River Cacher. Looking forward to buying some. Quote
+JoenGPS Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Very nice coin for River Cacher. Looking forward to buying some. Looking great....any timeline on these? Quote
+dufzor Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 What a wonderful coin. I didn't know him, as I am fairly new to the forums, but as a fellow cacher and canoe/kayaker, the design touched me very deeply. I would like at least one. TY. Quote
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Is anyone keeping an email list for when this gets further along? Quote
JohnMac56 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I haven't been around here very much lately (busy with life..), but am VERY interested in getting a couple of these when they are ready. Please, if anyone does start a list of interrest, please be sure to add me to it (my contact info is on the mailing list). Great work on these, I can't wait for them to come out... Quote

+Nikon-ing Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Please count me in for two. I've never had the pleasure, but the stories and the love for rivercacher has touched me. ...and...it's a beautiful coin! Quote
+Team kizb Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 We would like 2 as well. One to keep and the other to send out to travel the world. Quote
+CCWelch Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I like the changes with the transparent but Mike also liked glitter for some of his works...anyway that glitter could be incorporated into the translucent design, maybe to the torch flames to make them "come to life"? Quote

Since Mike liked glitter how about glitter for the river....That could be looked on as symbolic maybe Quote

Found this on page two or three after spending a bunch of time elsewhere...I don't want to miss the sale if I'm gone from here for several days. Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I'm late to the table too, but definitely would be in for some of these. RIP Mike. Quote
+plumbrokeacres Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) I was lucky enough to do a trade with River Cacher at Geowoodstock last summer I would defiantly be in for at least one Edited April 3, 2011 by plumbrokeacres Quote
+Toojin Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Here is the list of people that have expressed interest in the coin. So I will make sure you all know when and where it goes on sale. And your name on this list does not mean a commitment to buy or anything like that. Circumstances and priorities change.

+Toojin Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Okay, here are mint samples of black nickel and gold. We have enamel changes to make, including probably some glitter. Its moving folks!!! Quote
+JoenGPS Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Great job on these, Count us in for both versions. 3 each. We did a search on previous emails from Mike as we watched this progress.... it just "gets" ya... he would be proud of these. Edited April 3, 2011 by JoenSue Quote
+burgessfour Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Okay, here are mint samples of black nickel and gold. We have enamel changes to make, including probably some glitter. Its moving folks!!! They look great! Mike did love the glitter; that would be a great addition as some have already said. I don't think I was very specific at first but I would really love to get 2 sets of each black nickel and gold. Quote
+ThePetersTrio Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Please add me to the list. I'd like at least one of each. Thanks - they look great!! Quote
+LadyBee4T Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Yep they look great! I think I like the ones with the lighter color river as they set off the canoe better Quote
+keewee Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Wow - they look awesome! The translucent for the river works really, really well on the black nickel as it gives it colour changes along the edges. Awesome! Quote
+Shop99er Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Beautiful. Just what Mike would have wanted, I believe. Please put us in for 2 of each version. Great job, Lenny!! Quote
+MustangJoni Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I really love the black nickel ones. I know that I'm going to want 4 coins, at least. I really think Mike would have loved them! Quote
+CyberChemist Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Nice job on the design! Count me in for a set. Quote
