+Team kizb Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Here is the a preview of the 2nd coin in the Area 51 Series. Its a departure from the UFO theme, but I thought it would be an interesting coin and still fits the Area 51 theme. I still have a couple new UFO type coins I'm working on that I'll be previewing soon. In November 2010 Team kizb journeyed to the Nevada desert to conduct research for the Area 51 Series. As we explored the area our quest took us past "The Black Mailbox" and down Groom Lake Road where we encountered a sign warning us not to venture any further, or else. This sign is the end of the road for most of us, try traveling beyond it and you will meet the infamous Groom Lake Security Force aka "Cammo Dudes". The Front of the Restricted Area Geocoin is a representation of the sign we encountered. If you were allowed to explore the hills that surround the fabled Area 51 complex, there's know telling who or what you may meet lurking in the fog. Comments welcome.

+Azure Sky Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Wow - absolutely love this! I definitely need more ET's for my collection. Quote
+Starwolf013 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 A perfect followup to the UFO Coin! I've always wanted to travel to see this sign in person. The back is great! Have you thought about using a glow in the dark color for the ebe's? Keep us in the loop. I want to be near the front of this reservation line! Quote

I hadn't considered using any glow in the dark, something I'll consider. What I am wanting to do is use transparent colors for a lot of the coin and maybe a pearl for the fog. Thanks for the great feedback so far! Quote
+EyeD10T Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Very nice. A great follow up to the series! Quote
+manu luq Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I like, and I think that is fully integrated into the series Quote
+aka Momster Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I know someone who will be wanting one of these. Is the trackable information going to be on the rim, or has it just not been worked into the design yet? Quote

+Jackalgirl Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Heh -- I like it! : ) I assume the tracking text & code are on the edge? Quote
+LewisClan77 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I like it. I missed out on the UFO coins, but I will get this. Quote
+avroair Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Cool. How many coins are you considering for the series, might have been posted somewhere else but I am not sure. Quote
Space*Cadet Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Cool! I loved the area 51 UFO coins and can't wait for this one! I'm definitaly down for a set! Quote
+southern_angel Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I would love to have one too! I missed out on the UFO coin. Have there been previous coins of Area 51 series? I have only seen this one and the UFO that was just made not too long ago. Would love to see others if there are more. Quote
ChrisEMT1 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I'm in as well. Also, will there be a chance to get the all the Area 51 coins as a complete set? if so, count me in for that as well..... Just let me know when they are available, and how much/where to order.... Thanks, Chris Quote
+Team kizb Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 This coin will be the 2nd in the Area 51 Series. The UFO Geocoin was the first. As far as how many coins will be part of the Series, I'm not sure yet. I'm currently working on 2 other new designs, so at least 4 different coins as of now If you missed out on the UFO Geocoin, I will be releasing some new versions using different finishes down the road. The original four versions are sold out and will not be re-minted. Thanks Quote
+Swansea Jack Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 As your first ones were so good and take pride of place in my hoard, i'll defo be interested in taking a full set again Quote
+Team kizb Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Will there be an alien autopsy coin? ILYK Interesting thought, I'll keep it in mind. Quote

+the4dirtydogs Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 We would like 1 or more but would like to wait for the sample pictures to decide exactly which finish. Hope that's OK! Quote
+Team kizb Posted April 28, 2011 Author Posted April 28, 2011 We would like 1 or more but would like to wait for the sample pictures to decide exactly which finish. Hope that's OK! That's fine. I just opened reservations early to start tracking request. Quote
+Swansea Jack Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) E-mail sent same as last lot one full set Pls Edited April 29, 2011 by tms3009 Quote
+Team kizb Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 E-mails letting you know the status of your reservation have been sent. The samples should be shipping out to me May 16th. Thanks for all the positive feedback and input! Quote
+Team kizb Posted May 23, 2011 Author Posted May 23, 2011 The samples have arrived with some mixed results: Daybreak-Antique Silver I'm happy with the way this version turned out, so it will remain the same. Midnight-Black Nickle I was shooting for a darker appearance for this version so I had the mint do the plating first then add the color. Turned out a little to dark so the plating will be applied after next time. Gray-Black Nickle This one turned out nice except for the lettering issues on the back. Not stoning the IHE should correct this. I may also change the sky to a darker color. Options Welcome Quote
+manu luq Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Great!, I like specially Daybreak and the frontside from Gray version. Quote
