Coins Are Fun Coin Design contest with a cash prize!!

[coinsarefun]

What say you

Larry had a great idea to have a coin made for Coins Are Fun
Or maybe just a regular token.

I think this calls for a design contest........


Rules: for now, I may add a few more
Must have CoinsAreFun prominent somewhere on the obverse of the design.
Optional "A Numismatic Wonderland" that is our front page logo http://www.coinsarefun.com/ 
MUST BE A MEMBER
You can submit as many times as you like.
Members have to vote and decide the winner.
All entries must be in by October 18th. 3pm West Coast time.

The winner will receive a $150 cash prize

This will require some thought, but is a super idea!   

What are the options?  Counterstamps, all-out tokens or silver rounds designed with the site logo or name, any other options or ideas?

[coinsarefun]

I think it should be something about our site.
As far as design goes I think it's wide open

I have to look into the cost of having them made.

And as far as the contest goes you should be a member
here and each design should be voted on by our members.
And I will give a money prize

I did a quick search and there are places that will produce these, Silvertowne being one.  I'll have to do a little more digging...

Yes, please let me know

I was messing around with the idea this afternoon, and came up with this (very) rough idea. 

Here's an old territorial gold design that I modified, and added a token reverse design to advertise.  Of course the text can easily be changed or modified.  Don't be too critical, it's my first attempt at this.



Of course it would be awesome in gold, but a nice big dollar-sized silver planchet would be cool, too.

I'm likin' it Do as many different ones as you like.
I have to say I  really like  the obverse we can always do them in brass, so it has that gold look.
But we may need to re work the good for 1 great time at CAF to something else otherwise
the boardmembers may be expecting something else from CAF

      Yeah, you may be right!   

How about a classic reverse with just the site name-
