thefabfive Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Trying to finish up my design for my coin. I have the front complete (there will be text on it). The back was going to be a compass with text, any other ideas out there for the back? Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 WOW!! That's nice. Any chance you would hold one for me to trade when my personal coins are ready? Quote Link to comment
thefabfive Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Yep. Contact me when yours are finished. Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) you could make that plane a top view, with the nose pointing north. I, too, have a personal coin coming in late April and would like to trade for other personal coins. Edited March 31, 2005 by Spencersb Quote Link to comment

+Shop99er Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I'm with CD...where do you even begin to make your own coin?? and is there a link to a mint or what. I'm fascinated! For mine, it went like this: The wife and I noodled around with several sketches, until we came upon the design idea we liked. This took forever, as we had to determine what elements we wanted to put in the coin. Then, I searched for coin manufacturers. I wound up going with KV Coins in Texas We sent the design to them, and started a month-long round of phone calls and e-mails. There were some problems with their interpertation of the drawings we sent them. Once that was ironed out, we reviewed the digital art they sent, approved it, and ordered the proof cooin. This was 2 weeks ago. If the proof is good when it arrives, we'll order the coins. Time involved: Probably gonna be 3-4 months when it's finished and I have my coins in hand. Quote Link to comment

+Marky Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Dang, with only 100 ordered, you could trade them all away and not have any left to leave in caches. --Marky Quote Link to comment
+Pepper Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Got my fabfive coin yesterday in the mail and WOW is ever a sweet coin. Pepper Quote Link to comment
thefabfive Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 Marky, I ended up getting 150 made just so I would have enough to put in caches and trade them. Numbering ended up FAB001 - FAB150. So, if you live in Texas you would have the best chance of finding one. Mostly as FTF for my caches. I may place a few in other states I usually visit as well (most likely Missouri, Arkansas, Utah, Nevada). Cliff Quote Link to comment
