What's in your mailbox? V.1

The "What's in your mailbox" coin was truly a community coin. It was created for the community of Geocoin folks who frequent the Geocoin Discussion at the GC.com forums. Over 125 names were added to this coin! It was produced in two metals, Shiny Gold and Shiny Silver and sold at Oakcoins' Geoswag store. As the artist I received 30 Artist Edition coins that are different in that they are red around the outside and have a red mailbox instead of blue on the production editions. Both the artist Edition and Production editions are pictured above. I have a couple of the Artist Edition coins available for $25.00 + $2.50 s&h.

Cacher on Board

This was another fun design inspired by some of the conversations I've had with my husband while looking for caches. The coin reads, "CAUTION! This car makes frequent and erratic stops." on one side and on the other, "I'm following the arrow. Which way now? It's pointing that way. & Quick turn now!" For this coin I went back to Christian at Oakcoins' Geoswag store. The coin was produced in two metals for a Regular and LE coin. One was shiny silver and the other shiny gold. The Artist Edition coin was Antique Silver and the white enameling around the car was not included. I received 30 Artist Edition coins, and have a couple left for $25.00 + $2.50 shipping. Email me at UOTrackers@yahoo.com if you'd like to buy one.

Geocoin Racers

Geocoin Racers! These are one of my favorite projects. I had been sitting on the idea and design for these coins for awhile. Honestly I was hoping to be able to produce and sell them myself, but it didn't pan out. So they too went to the Geocoin Store. The 4 production cars were the GC.com colors, Orange, Green, Yellow and Blue on black nickel. I believe that there were 250 of each color made, they are SOLD OUT now. As the artist I received 2 sets of the standard four colors in shiny silver PLUS 16 Purple and 16 Black cars on the shiny silver. All of the coins above are Artist Edition.

Cache Hiker

Another easy cheesy idea I had. Travel bugs and geocoins travel from cache to cache, not all that unlike hitchhikers. And Hitchhikers stick out their thumbs to travel. This was the second coin I did all by myself. It was sent to the Geocoin Store for their bargain bin. The production coin was minted in black nickel, while the coin above, the Artist Edition was minted in shiny silver. There were 15 Artist Edition coins made, and 500 production coins made. The production coins are SOLD OUT!

Geoswag's October 06 "Lantern" coin.

This coin was a joint project with Chris Mackey, of Fox-and-the-Hound. He had helped me with the art for our UOTrackers coin. I showed him a design I had sent of to Geoswag and he liked it so much that he played around with it. What he got is the coin you see above. For this joint project we each received 10 Artist Edition coins, produced in a shiny silver rather than the gold. These were the October coin for the Geoswag Coin & Pin Club.

Geoswag's May 06 "Cent" coin

This was my first attempt at designing a coin by myself. It's sort of Cheesy. I created this design to enter into the new (at that time) coin club, Geoswag Coin & Pin Club. Amazingly it was selected for their May coin. As the artist I received 9 Antique Silver Artist Edition coins. I belive that 30 total AE's were minted, Mauison had a very similar design so he also received 9 coins.

UOTrackers First Edition Coin

The UOTrackers First Edition coin features a famous corner in Aiken SC. The co-ordinates on the coin lead to our Coins, Tokens & Nickels, oh my! Cache. The shape of the coin was taken from part of our namesake, UO, which stands for Ultima Online, a game that both my husband and I have played for several years. This game is also where our "call names" come from. I am Brae, which is short for Braelynn Aria, and my husband is Ancient. Andromeda is actually Bella's middle name. So there you have the short version of UOTrackers!

Brae's Coins

Hey! You found my blog. Welcome! Hopefully I will update this blog frequently so that you can check in and see what I've been up to. This is where I will post pictures of coins I have designed. For the most part I will post Samples and Artist Editions. I'll tell you a bit about the design as well as the minting info, you know, where to get it, the size the colors etc. etc. etc. Once in awhile I may post art for coins that are WELL into production. I may also post art for coins or tags I have done for other people.

If your looking through these pages because you need some art done, and you like what you see, feel free to
shoot me an email. I've got pretty reasonable rates and have been told I'm very easy to work with. Check back periodically for references!
