+kini_ont Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I like it.... But the placement of "trackable at" makes it look like bob is holding an 80s boombox No it's like his video "Subterranean Homesick Blues" Quote Link to comment
eseurat Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just some constructive criticism, but perhaps it might look better if the the quote was on the cards, like he did the words in his video???? Then add the "track at geocaching.com on one of the flat edges, so it doesn't detour the nice artwork???? I like it.... But the placement of "trackable at" makes it look like bob is holding an 80s boombox No it's like his video of "Subterranean Homesick Blues" Love that video:) Quote Link to comment

+ECplus3 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 The back design I had planned for the coin is officially dead. I finally heard back from Sony and they are not interested in this 'opportunity'. Mr. Glaser is still on board though, so all I have to do is decide what I want on the back now. Quote Link to comment
+Serchnsoul Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Cool design ! Love the idea. Quote Link to comment
+goosefraba1 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Time to boycott sony! Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 It's on again!! The back design has changed, but everything else remains the same. Part of my agreement with Milton Glaser Inc. is that only 300 coins will be produced. Quote Link to comment

+Azure Sky Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 So glad this one is back on! I'm still in for a couple. Thanks for the good news! Quote Link to comment
+manu luq Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Very good news!!, ...I'll need at least two of those historical coins! Quote Link to comment
+rupprider Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Awesome! I live in Hibbing, MN where Bob Dylan went to high school, so I've been following this coin with great interest since the beginning! Each summer Zimmy's (a restaurant in town named from his last name Zimmerman) puts on Dylan days. Hopefully this coin ia done in time to show off to local cachers that come for the festivities!

+purplepotter51 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Just checking in again... I'm a seasoned fan of Bob and have been to his concerts, bought his records, CDs, etc. I've also been following the development of this geocoin with hopeful aniticapation...got to have one for my collection! Any idea when they'll be available and how can I obtain one or more? Thanks. Edited February 8, 2012 by purplepotter51 Quote Link to comment
+JoenGPS Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The guilty undertaker sighs The lonesome organ grinder cries The silver saxophones say I should refuse you The cracked bells and washed-out horns Blow into my face with scorn But it's not that way I wasn't born to lose you I want you, I want you, .......matter of fact I want a few of you Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 The back design has changed yet again. I didn't really like the Subterranean Homesick Blues back, so I played around with some other ideas and came up with something very simple, but totally recognizable as Dylan. Here is the mint artwork: Milton Glaser will be forwarding vector artwork for his poster and the exact Pantone colours used so that the front can be as accurate as possible. Hopefully the mint will have all the colours available and will not have to make any matches. I hope to have this project completed so that everyone who orders can receive their coin before May 24th.

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Way too cool - id be up for a couple, please. Quote Link to comment
+Qbar Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Even though the "look" of the coin changed drastically, I'm glad the quote is the same. I think I'll need to watch this thread closely or I'll miss a chance to get one, sigh, paying attention never was a strong point for me. (As you can imagine, that makes caching quite, um, interesting sometimes) Quote Link to comment
+Highland Horde Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I love the new back....I loved the first one and the second wasn't bad but the 3rd is just as good as the first...I cant wait to get one...or more and thoughts on a pre-sale date? Quote Link to comment
+manu luq Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I like the new back, ...although I can't see what is in the head area Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I got an email today from Milton Glaser with the vector artwork and Pantone colours for the Dylan poster. Quote Link to comment

+ECplus3 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Samples will be shipped on March 22nd! Unfortunately I will be away on business until March 31st. So I'll be up in Toronto while a box of awesomeness sits unopened back home. It's going to be hard to concentrate on my job! Quote Link to comment

+LadyBee4T Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Nice !! Any idea on the cost yet? Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 Wooow!, I can see now the back, fantastic!!, ...for when will be available, where?, there are also an AE? These will be a sale item, not a pre-sale. So once I see the samples and make sure all is well and good I'll put in the order. They should be ready by the end of April. I ordered samples of several finishes, but am not sure if anything but the black nickel edition will be produced. Nice !! Any idea on the cost yet? Yep. The cost will be $10.00 Cdn per coin.

+ECplus3 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 The Dylan coin is on its way! I have ordered 300 coins -- the maximum that my license agreement with Mr. Glaser will allow. They should be shipped on April 27th. I have set the date for the sale of these coins for Friday May 4th, 2012 at noon EST. There will be 3 versions of the coin: RE Black Nickel 'Bringing It All Back Home' LE Antique Nickel 'Highway 61 Revisited' LE Satin Gold 'Blonde On Blonde' The LEs will only be available as part of a 3-coin 'box set'. Only 40 sets will be sold. There will be an additional 160 black nickel editions available. All coins will be $10 Cdn, or $30 for the 'box set'. The coin will have its own unique icon and the custom prefix 'BD'. http://phdcoins.ca Quote Link to comment

+mamoreb Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 GREAT work - very unique! Even though I'm not a great fan of Dylan, nor a collector of human-shaped/music themed/etc coins, I'm tempted to buy one, because of its uniqueness and coolness. Quote Link to comment

+jpbarr Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hi, Sorry for such a basic question, do I have to pre-register on your site to be able to get one of these coins? Quote Link to comment
+ECplus3 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi, Sorry for such a basic question, do I have to pre-register on your site to be able to get one of these coins? Being pre-registered will certainly help. You have to be logged in to add a coin to your shopping cart. That might be critical, depending on how quickly these get snapped up. Feel free to create accounts, put orders together, and investigate the checkout process. Your shopping cart times out after 10 minutes of inactivity. Quote Link to comment
