Crud. Missed them altogether, Anyone have one they want to get rid of PLMK!

brumbjorn, don't be too nervous... this thread is mainly the designers and production companies belly-aching about their experiences these days with the mints in Asia. If you ask one of us to design and produce your coin, you shouldn't see all these errors and revisions because getting your die art correct is all part of our services. When the die art is finally sent to you to approve it should be just the way you wanted it or better . A good producer will do all the legwork that we're griping about to get correct die art before sending it to their client. It's not really the client's job to look it over for errors, that's what you pay the coin producers for ... to make the experience painless and get a coin that you love . Correct me if I'm wrong folks Helen You're not wrong, but I believe Chris' original point is from a designer's perspective. We have clients as well, and they often come to us for something special. We want to deliver, so part of our frustration is in spending extra time adding detail to the design, only to have that frequently misinterpreted by the die artist. We share the same problem, but it's especially maddening for the hell-bent perfectionist. thanks everyone. I'm just in the working with a designer phase and really nervous about this. It is going to be a while before I get to the "looking for a minter" and "selling body parts on ebay to pay for this" phases. The idea I have is pretty complicated (so I think anyway) and this made me a bit nervous.

Me too!!! **does little hoppy-oh-i-cant-wait dance with Pengo**

Just getting around to reading this thread. Very cool. Beats my bug bite

GAAAH!!! I'm going to be at an event. Can someone order three for me?

Looking forward to this tomorrow! Lets hope it stops raining (but stays cool and overcast!)

Wow. this makes me nervous about having a coin made!

I think this is great that you are doind this for a friend. I've got a good friend battling cancer right now, so I know the feeling of wanting to help. As a long time ebay seller (10 years) can I make a suggestion? I think a better set of pictures would help. I have no idea what half the coins look like and having to go hunt for the picture is a pain. If you need hosting help, let me know and I can upload them. I can probably help with the coding for the page if need be.

**anxiously waiting for this one too** I've got a coworker whose parents hail from there so I hope to get her one as well! Darn things will probably go up while I'm at work and can't access the forums.

Email sent.

You've got mail m'dear! I loves me some secrets!

I ordered mine too - and some extras for swap! Now to keep haunting ebay (gasp!) for the Antique silver one This has GOT to be my favorite coin so far.

I looked at the cache page and wonder if it hasn't moved since it is one of those travel bug jails... er... I meant hotels... that have a minimum bug requirement. However, it seems to be missing: May 20 by<<deleted>> Running back and forth this weekend while working the AT&T Classic. What better way to spend a beautiful day than golfing and caching. Was very very busy at the park, but all quiet around the cache. The only TB present was the Woody/Traveling Earth GC,so brought them along with me for some new adventures. Left the Hobos GCC Anniversary coin that I have been fondling for a bit. Checked Ayers in and out, SL, and moved along to the next one.

is it too late to sign up? I don;t see a cut off date!

email sent. my bank account whimpers.

Love it! I <3 turtles!
