    That one is awesome!

     

    I have my initial template done for my coin. It's very rough, but I have some e-mails out to the various minting companies to get prices for artwork/minting.

     

    Once I have this done, if I decide it was worth the time/money (which I totally think it will be), I was thinking of doing an entire series of The Stations of the Cross. One coin for each Station. Has that been done before? A quick Google search didn't bring any up.

     

    I have not seen the Stations done...but it would be an interesting concept. How well they would be received is another question. Depending on how many you plan to mint of each it could turn into a costly venture.

     

    EDIT TO ADD: You could also think about some sort of a group project and see if others would be willing to go in on the Stations.

    The link for the RE Antique Gold Dragon @ $8.50 are once again open for purchase...

    https://chqualitycoins.com/mm5/merchant.mvc...&Quantity=1

     

    There are only 9 orders that still need to be shipped for the LE's. Tom at CHQ will

    be e-mailing the customer's that will have to wait for those orders. He will have

    the new ones in by the 23rd.

     

    Sorry again for the short notice of the RE's going back up. Any remints should also be ready by June 23rd.

     

    None in stock. Were these left overs John or a remint?

     

    These were the leftovers...when we had problems with the shopping cart, Tom shut both version down until he sorted it all out. These were the ones that didn't sell before that time. I believe he is doing some new metals though...

    I've got a couple of MOGA 2009 coins to trade. I'm looking for coins from my seeking list or maybe something unique I haven't seen before. Now, these coins cost more than typical coin so I may not trade for just any of the coins from my seeking list as some may be easier than others to acquire. I also have some Dragon Ladon special coins coming that are on the way to me and should arrive soon.

    The schwanky MOGA coin?

    That would be fine if there were just one grip color out there, but there's 2 (red and green) and it certainly does not explain the 2 different finishes (copper and antique silver).

     

    They actually had 2 pre-sales...one for a Copper with Red handle coin and then another of the Silver with Black handles (which are now green and not black). Other than the black handle now being green, I don't think there were any other mix ups - was there?

     

    The antique copper was supposed to have a black handle. According go the pre-sale page: (There will be a new finish and new handle Color (Antique Copper Finish, Translucent Black Handle) It doesn't.

    There was supposed to be a response posted but it wasn't. I guess the poll didn't include everyone and you can live with them the way they are. I like the design so I will keep the coin.

     

    hmm..okay, I just assumed it was the handle color only. Oh well, like you say...I like the design and am still happy with them.

    I think that a limted mint of the oversold LE's would be acceptable due to the Shopping Cart glitch.

    It is good with me, hopefully all other people who ordered LE's feel the same.

     

    But many people buy LE's, even at additonal cost (not really that much here) just because they are LE's

    and that there are only XX's ever produced.

    If that is out and the LE's become a 200 run they become a different run versus an LE. :rolleyes:

     

    My Son wanted this coin, checked the thread daily, even with subscribing to it, so he could get in on the

    sale, we too also missed it looks as if we got lucky, got my PaPal Invoice as well as CH coins receipt.

    Good thing I don't sleep much.

     

    Saw this happen once before on a coin, it was listed as only XXX made and available, these sold out quickly

    just like these now they are being offered on the website as available for purchase, went from LE to regular

    run... :), oh well the coin is still a beautiful coin one and my Son is happy with, its all well so... :laughing:

     

    Theotokos be VERY PROUD of your work, I think this will be sought after for some time to come.

     

    Remember The Dressel Dragon Coin it's still a FAVORITE.... and most sought after.....

     

    Thanks for the compliments...

     

    I don't think we will see the LE get close to the 200 coins mark that the RE was minted at so it should still be okay.

    sorry for the noob question... what do you mean "remit," and if the LE were oversold, how to we know if we're affected.

     

    Just curious... it's an awesome looking coin.

     

    remint = make some more

     

    I'm guessing CHQ will have to reconcile the amount ordered to the amount in inventory based on the time the orders came in. He should then know who came in after we sold out. Then those folks would have to wait a bit for the new coins to come in. Once he figures it all out he will post the details in here and I'm sure he will contact those folks to see if they wish to wait or not? We won't remint more LE's than what is needed for the overage.

    Wow....these things went very fast...and it had an unexpected effect on the shopping cart application. So CHQ had to shut things down for a bit. There are still some RE's available but it looks like the LE's were over sold....by about 25-30. So once Tom figures it all out he will post more info here.

     

    We talked a bit and felt rather than take away LE coins sales from people that we will remint the difference needed. We will probably also do at least one other metal variation.

     

    Sorry for this - it wasn't something we expected and we hope everyone is fine with the remint of the oversold coins...

    Here are the specs of the coin...

     

    It's a 1.75" 3.0mm Pewter based coin. They all have a two-tone plating with either an Antique Gold or Antique Copper plated wrap around dragon on a nickel base. It also has translucent Imitation Hard Enamel coloring.

     

    They will have a unique icon Dragon64x64.gif

    Any update on this coin?.....cant wait to get my hands on it.

     

    I'll check with the vendor to see where we are at. They should be here very soon. Last week the coins were basically done we were just waiting for the tracking codes. Today I was looking on the Geocaching - Geocoin Information page and noticed that the coins are now listed so I know we got the codes. I'll give a better update once I hear from Tom.
