+avroair Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 So Chris Mackey has done it again! He's gone and designed a fantastic pirate themed coin for my upcoming Pirate Ships event: Pirate High Seas Adventure Event: Pirate High Seas Adventure What is it: Goblindust, Shopp99er, TTUMS and Avroair have rented two real pirate ships that were featured in the Pirates of Carribean movie. The ships set sail with 44 passengers each and will battle for 3 hours on the Puget Sound! The Geocoin: To commemorate the event we designed a geocoin with the help of uber pirate guru Fox and the Hound (Chris Mackey) Design: A skeletal pirate hand holding an intricate compass Trackable: YES Icon: UNIQUE Available: August, 2012 Versions: Pictured below is the stowaway XLE, one per person for each attendee (antique gold) Common sale on Geoswag: Copper (not pictured) This is by far my most favorite Pirate geocoin to date! Sorry for the poor photos: The compass 3d detailing and skulls are amazing! How can you get one you might ask? 1) you can wait until August 2) you can buy one of 5 fundraising auctions on ebay, the funds will got to sponsor spots on board the ships. Auction #1 is here: Pirate High Seas Adventure auction 3) Come to the event! It's a week after the Groundspeak Block Party! 4) Win a cointest! Quote

+Azure Sky Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Wow - those are some amazing details! Great job on the design! Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 What? You couldn't get a bigger picture??? Is it as heavy as we thought it would be? Quote
+Six Little Spookies Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I will attend in spirit Like as a pirate...ghost? Quote
+avroair Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 What? You couldn't get a bigger picture??? Is it as heavy as we thought it would be? Yes! It's a hunk of metal. I showed it off at a couple of events and people were really lamenting about how coins have become so light to hold... but this baby will sink ya to down to the briny depths! The copper version will be available in August. Quote
+High Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) dadgum, what a nice unreachable coin! If one of the attendees is willing to ship one of the XLE to germany I would give away all of my treasure for it. Edited April 21, 2012 by High Quote
+GoldBugGirl Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 What an awesome design! Would love to get an event version, but considering that I'm 1900.3 miles away, one of the other 3 options will work for me. Quote
+Dogfort Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 I really want one of these!! But I live in the UK. Quote
+Gustav129 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Nice! Looks like I'll have to wait until August..... Quote
+longtomsilver Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) These look tremendously great!!! What a design ..and.. I am sure What an event it will be! Hope to get hold of those. Edited April 25, 2012 by longtomsilver Quote

+GoldBugGirl Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I could feel something tickling my subconscious about this design, so I took a closer look at it today, & sure enough, there was the detail that was dancing through the synapses in my brain--this coin has A GEM ON BOTH SIDES--OMG, that's a first, right??? Is it August yet? Quote
+DragonsWest Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Hm.. Might make a good grand prize for my Talk Like A Pirate Day event, scheduled (when else?) September 19th. Just finished page and submission is in, hope it's published soon. edit: Oh bother. Limited issue for the event only. Nemmind. Edited July 18, 2012 by DragonsWest Quote
+el_L0qu1t0 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Oh what a Great Coin, for my Pirate Treasure. I´m draming about the Coin in Germany. But i´ve never owned ever this Coin in my Collection. A Pirate Life for me. Quote
