2006 Maine Geocoin (Finally?)

[Sudonim]

OK, I finally heard back from Tess at Coins & Pins.
Here's the tentative design.
I really like the way the mountain came out and the tree too.

Tess recommends:
-the back of the coin is done in 2D
-due to the level of detail in the Paul Bunyon statue, it is in 3D, no color
-the water can be done in translucent blue with a ripple texture behind it, or done with blue sparkles in it

The "maine northern woods" logo (or something else) needs to be decided on.
Tess put on '2007' instead of '2006'. At this point, I'm not sure what to go with. Here's the time crunch: 2 weeks from today (Friday) Tess and her husband are leaving for 1 month. If the design isn't in place and the order made, it (may) push the order back 1 month, into Jan. I don't know if 1 week to finalize design and 1 week to get the orders in is realistic or not. If not, do we still call this a 2006 coin? I am still hoping for a pre-Christmas ship, but not sure if that can happen.

Rick, in response to the serial numbers, the 'me' prefix is still available, Tess checked for us.

Inputs?

I feel there is not big deal if it is 2007. If we hurry this along it may not be what we want.

I agree we shouldn't hurry this,just make it 2007,it's no big deal. Besides, where does it state we have to make a new coin EVERY year. Let's be different and have a new coin EVERY OTHER year and that would make them even more collectable. JMHO

Oh, I was so hoping that Santa would be adding these to stockings this year, but hey, Christmas will come in 2007, too. You folks did a great job with the last one, I'm sure this one will be just as wonderful whether it is in 06 or 07. Thanks for taking on this project!

I like the tree too,
Paul Bunyon in 3D sounds good
my vote is for translucent blue with a ripple texture behind it

I also like the antique finish coin you had from last year.

I like the idea of 2007 then we have all year to work on the 2008. . . or two years if we go with odd numbered years only. Personally I think it would be cool if we did one every 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42 years since most of my coins have been LOST.

Will we have both tracking numbers on the "Back" and
Coin Numbers on the Front (same as laste year).

Or we could do it just on "prime" years to really make a statement.

how bout every year thats divisable by 3?? or we could go down the the great wall buffet and steal one of their placemats and have a coin on every year that is represented by a four legged creature.. Instead of pushing for coins by year, how bout just doing them when people have the time to invest in creating them? If we make one we make one... if not oh well.

It took both posts for me to figure out what the heck you 2 were talking about.
I don't get that channel, but my mom gave us the first season on DVD for Christmas...
Yes, I'm serious, I don't get that channel...sheesh and John works for the cable company (the cable stops about 1 mile from the house!).

I like it when ever it comes out. Cant wait to get one. Can I get any of the other years? Are they still around?
