  1. We actually found one of these coins right north of Atlanta this past weekend in the I-575 area. Better half and I made a run down that way Sunday for the day but I forget exactly which cache it was that the coin was in. It was near Ball Ground GA. though.

  2. Just a note, anyone wanting to up their preorder to the 5 or more deal (AG :P ) needs to send me a email to make sure I get the updated order.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Do I still need to do that? :P

     

    Yes you do.... :P

    Please? I asked nicely................

    I would hate to miss your post.

     

    Thank you AG!

  3. Got coin #211 yesterday here in Southeast Tennessee!

     

    Thanks for the visit GCF! :P

     

    A detail or two for the record...............

    This coin sat in the cache for 17 days without being found and yes, the Geocoin Fairy's signature was in the log! Very nice handwriting in pretty purple ink dated 10-6-06! So we know for a fact that the fairy did visit our area!

    Ye of little faith just have to learn to believe!

  4. Why's the Heart in Auburn :laughing:

    BBB lemmie know if you got my preorder. Great design.

    Now to get JoeFrog to get that other Bama coin out and I'm set :wub:

     

    Got it. B)

     

    By the way, the heart is all over Alabama, the state is full of love for the game and for friends! ;)

  5. It was bought to my attention that on the dieart of the coin, it has Geocaching spelled wrong.

    I thought it was a typo for GekoCaching, which was that Garmin sponsored sport that never took off... :wub:

    It was at first but since it never took off! B):laughing:

  6. I have had a couple of folks ask about a discount for ordering a quantity............

     

    Here's the deal..............

     

    If anyone wants to order 5 or more of the Alabama microcoins then the cost will be $5.50 per coin.

    In other words, order 5 and the cost is $27.50 plus shipping.

    For the folks that have already ordered 5 or more, you will be added to the 5 or more list automatically.

     

    Thanks.

  7. It was bought to my attention that on the dieart of the coin, it has Geocaching spelled wrong. Rest assured that it will be spelled right on the actual coins.

    Another thing is the AL prefix for the numbers. The coins will actually have the PC prefix unless the sales go over 1000 coins which is the number needed for the AL prefix.

     

    Thanks!

  8. Here it is folks!

    I just read the whole thread - very interesting

     

    The original proposal appears to include a fifth icon, awarded when you got all of the other four

    I can find no mention of this unique feature, pro or con, later in the thread

    If the feature was ever implemented, I am not aware of it

    Can anyone explain how it was supposed to work, and if it ever came to pass

    If so, how does one get the fifth icon, and if not, why the original plan did not get done as hoped/intended

     

    The 5th icon myth was just that. Someone suggested it but as the producers of the coins it was never in our plans to have any 5th icon. The only thing that we ever considered as far as Icons went was the 1 Icon for the whole set verses the 4- Icon deal that we finally decided to go with.

    Thanks.

  10. I am looking for Micro coins for states now. I am aware of

    Georgia

    Tennessee

    North Carolina

    Kansas

    Indiana

    Utah

     

    Are there any others? Where would they be available if still available?

    Thanks,

    Michelle

     

    We had the Tennessee Micro Coins minted and still have a few for sale if anyone is interested.

    Thanks.

  11. Also remember you can't reinforce the edges with tape, and there is a risk of bursting open. That said, I've been told by USPS that there is no limit to thickness as long as you can get it to fit.

     

    You CAN'T reinforce with tape? meaning... you are not allow to scotch tape over the adhesive seal to ensure nothing falls out???

     

    That is exactlly what I was told at our PO. NO TAPE but no limit on how thick without tape! So like Crake says, you are taking a risk of the envelope coming open with a hefty load in it.

  12. BBB, We haven't recieved ours yet. I went and looked at the invoice, and it was just for a Chrome and Coppper. Can we get a gold too if you have any left?

     

    --Marky

     

     

    We haven't received ours yet either. :o

     

    I am out of town at this moment but will be back where I can check on your packages tomorrow evening.

    I will let you know what is going on asap.

    Thanks.
