+nevadanick Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Each month's Coin Club coin has a story of some kind that accompanies the coin on their website. Can't find the one for November 2012 anywhere on their site. Does anyone have it ? The coin has sold out and all reference seems to be gone. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+TeamEccs21 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I just checked my back newsletters and here is what I got in NovenberNov News Quote Link to comment
+nevadanick Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I just checked my back newsletters and here is what I got in NovenberNov News Did you post the wrong link? This link is to their GeocoinSTORE newsletter, not the GeocoinCLUB monthly newsletter. The CLUB newsletter deals specifically with the CLUB coins and a description of their origin, designer, purpose, description, etc. Quote Link to comment

I checked Oct and Dec and there isn't anything about the November Coin. You might try contacting them directly if you really need the back story on the coin Good Luck, Sorry I couldn't help Quote Link to comment
+The Moop Along Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I just logged into our newsletter app, and it appears we did not send a November newsletter for the club. I hate to say this, but I have no idea what our November design even was I'm so dern busy with DM jobs, that I transferred club stuff to someone else. How about posting a picture here and I'll see what I can dig up. TMA Quote Link to comment

+penumbra59 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) A bit of a late reply but as far as I can tell , the symbols on this cache are runes, a kind of nordic alphabet. Originaly written on stones to foresee the future . That's as far as my knowledge goes. As I own this coin too , I'm always interested to hear more about this coins story.

+fox-and-the-hound Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yes, I had the pleasure to work on this design. Poor Pete went through the ringer to get the mint to accomplish the task or producing it though. The mints repeatedly said not a chance when we presented the artwork or changed it so much that it was really unrecognizable after they had their way with the design. After several attempts and a lucky break on a different design we realized the trick would be to use a 3d die rather than 2d to get all of the miniscule detail (particularly in the red area). All of the detail of both sides is ancient art and design from +- 5th century Anglo-Saxon people. I'll try and dig up my notes on this design as I remember it was quite a bit of complicated marriage, but all based on the ancient traveler and the dangers both real and imagined he faced in exploring his world.

Sounds like a really intersting story Thy for telling so far. I am really curious what you come up with when you come across the notes. It´s probably gonna become even more interesting Quote Link to comment
