+grodan & fiabus Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Me and my excellent designmaker has just finished working on our new coin and came up with this. It will soon go to the mint. Tell me what you think. They are trackable with own icon and own prefix, GF for grodan & fiabus. 250 made in total no remint to be. They will be sold by us like the grodan coins. I do not have a pricing yet and will not take any orders yet. This is just a post to tease you a little. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment

+Ilonka1980 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Funny... I have a drawing here (made by myself) almost similar like your design. The difference: mine got a 'necklace' with a compass or GPS. Maybe an idea for yours? Quote Link to comment

Great minds think alike, I believe there is a saying that goes that way. True. Now I´m off to bed but I´m looking forward to read more tomorrow. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment

+Laval K-9 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 We don't have cats, only dogs. But, I really like the look of that coin, I prefer the Black Nickel. The cat look very happy and playful. Good job! Quote Link to comment

+grodan & fiabus Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) Thank you for all nice words. I really think the cat looks happy and playful too. My designhelper did it again. Thank you! I´d love to trade but they are not even in real blueprint stage so I must wait until they are on their way at least. grodan Karin Edited September 19, 2008 by grodan & fiabus Quote Link to comment

+grodan & fiabus Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Got a nice e-mail today telling me: "Your coins have gone into production and should be ready in early October." I´m so excited but to hold me down a bit I keep telling me it is going to take some week more. I have not worked the price out yet because I want to know the weight of the coin first, shipping is weightbased so it depends much on that and I want to make a price with all included. Sad to say that shipping is quite alot over the pond so that might raise the price abit. Hopefully you like them so much so you want them anyway. I´ll try to sell them in set of all three at first but I will trade some also, not that many as the grodancoin though and I´ll be selling them off first then I will trade. Money are wired for them and they are in production so if anyone wants me to hold a set for them just send me an e-mail through my profile and I´ll write it down. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment
+Geo.Error Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 hi, a small question, why have you choose for a cat design Do you have cats, do you love cats or a other reason. I am a curious woman Btw love your design. Quote Link to comment
+grodan & fiabus Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 The catdesign and name fiabus is because my husbands geocachenickname is fiabus. It is from our cat Fia, she is very busig, swedish for playful so that together was fiabus. He had to get his coin too since I already got my grodancoin. Grodan is swedish for the frog thats why my coindesign was a frog. So yes, we have a cat and now you know the story behind our nicknames also. And I think the cat looks happy and nice. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 You going to sell some as sets like your frog coin? Quote Link to comment
+grodan & fiabus Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I got the coins 11.50 AM today. They look great! All three came out very nice I think. What do you think? I am trying to set the pricing now but it is a bit tricky to count on the fees and postalcharges. I will try to sell them in set of three, but also sell them one by one. I want to present a pricing in total, including all costs but I have to get the kids from daycare soon so it may take a while. I´ll tease you a little. for more info read post #30. grodan Karin Quote Link to comment
paganfrog Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 hmmmm, although i am an animal lover, im not really a pet or a cat person. but, now that ive seen a pic of the real coins i really like them. i hope i can get hold of one. i loved the frog coins you made before. i had no idea grodan meant frog, i thought it was a nickname or username. all this time ive been calling it the grodan frog, so really ive been saying the the frog frog. lol, someone please tell me im not the only one been doing that?
