2008 Geocaching Maine Geocoin

[Opalsns]

I like the State cut out but not the circle around it.
The green front cut out and Can get there from here back.

Everyone has a different opinion but the circle around the state, to me, makes this coin unique. It also would allow attachment of a Travel buddy to the coin without drilling it if you are sending it out into the wild. JMHO but leave the circle.

Isnt the coin already going to be trackable?

And I like the latest design. Mint it they will buy it.

Didn't we have an issue with last years coin and the phrase "the way caching should be" ???

Yes it is - the travel buddy isn't a tracking device but rather a reminder to log the item and move it on. Sort of like printing a tag but rather it is a metal dog tag.

ahhhh yes, I have seen a few of those in the past. I wish I had them on my tbs that have not made it.

I still like the Winter Caching scene with the log cabin and I like the new walking moose in these new ideas. But the cut-out is a very cool idea as well. Not sure about the "You can get there from here" because WE know what that means but people from other parts of the U.S. and other countries probably will not. Also, I'd just like to say that I surely do appreciate all the extra effort from Hide From the Kids...I met them on the trail and they instantly made a replacement cache for one that had been destroyed by muggles.....great people to meet. And to Attroll, I'm in awe at this level of computer expertise. Whatever the coin turns out to be, these suggestions have improved greatly on our options.

Wow, Wow. This coin is not a definite yet. Although I like it the best we can not jump to assumptions here. We will have to collect all inputs of coins that have been submitted and vote.

We need to set a deadline for inputs on the coins before we vote. How about we set the deadline as July 1st? This will give everyone one more full month to put together any ideas that have and submit them. Then on a 2nd or 3rd we can put them all in a voting poll and vote on the coin you would like to see used.

I agree totally. I really like this coin idea, but lets not ignore the other inputs that people have worked hard on, and there may be some more awesome ideas out there that we haven't heard of yet.
One month is a short time period, but we have been asking for ideas for months now, it's time to make a decision. Last call for new artwork?

This is why I suggested that we asked for artwork in the newsletter which was just published and set a deadline. That way, everyone would have known they only have a month left. One of the complaints from the last coin was that people weren't aware of what was going on until it was too late.

If you want the cutoff to be July 1st, perhaps this is one of those times a special notice should be sent out to all members?
