  1. Well, good news: All ticks are on their way.

     

    @ AtlantaGal

    Believe me, I hate those delays too. It was planned to get the coins at the end of ochtober and i wanted to be them on their way in the first week of november.

  2. Well, the coins finally arrived here (the parcel service didn't manage to find my house. But hey, it isn't easy.. It's directly at the road :blink: ). After about 2 weeks travelling through Germay *sigh*

    Now I'll stick the activation codes to the coins and pack them. So I hope they'll be shipped on Monday.

  3. Photos are in!

    The antique effect will be much more detailed on the 'real' coins later. The front (comic tick) won't be antique. Don't know why they did this on the samples...

  4. At the post office some say that custom declaration is needed, others say you don't need it when you send letters.. Of couse I like the last version better :bad:

    I'm surprised how fast they arrived!

    Blue tape: I thought, it would be safer this way.. :bad:

  5. Had to get one! It reminds us of a fellow cachers poker chips that look like this:

    I saw the token the very first time when I read Frodo_Underhill's mail some minutes ago. I definately didn't steal anyone's design by intention! If anyone feels so, I'm sorry..

  6. Almost every Geocacher has found a tick after caching. And most of them didn't make friends with it.. Well, this might be the first tick a Geocacher wants to have!

     

    This coin is an homage to the most unpopular companion of a cacher.

    :laughing:

  7. I'm glad to hear that there are still cachers who get their coins (after about 6 weeks!). As you can imagine I'm not feeling very good about all the questions like 'I paid [insert date long time in the past here] but I didn't receive my coins. When can I expect them?'.. I definately didn't /don't want to be my first coin ever to be known as 'the coin that took ages to ship' :laughing:

  8. Wohoo, I didn't think it could take that long to ship the coins!

     

    I'll be at home tomorrow again. Then I can tell you more about your coins (the file's on my laptop..).

     

    @ chaosmanor

    I am from Germany, yes. But I shipped the coins from the Netherlands. There it costs about 1/3 of the german shipping costs. And since the Netherlands are only 20 minutes (bus, bike) away.. 6 € (almost 8 $) for a letter with coins to the US is absolutely unacceptable.

     

    @ glen

    It was a Bubble mailer when it left me... Dunno how that could have happend..

     

    Don't worry, everyone who ordered coins will get them. I promise.

     

    @ Team Sand Dollar

    I'm a 'she' :ph34r:

  9. Well, Black Nickel and Gun Black are the same.

    Nickel and silver seen to be identical, too. But Chrome is a bit more shiny and looks ab bit cooler/greyer/not that warm than nickel. At least that's what I think <_<

  10. Hi,

     

    I did a Pre-Sale with my Nacaya-coin. The reason is simple: I didn't have enough money to pay the coins first and sell them later. Do it the way you like or the way you can afford :(

    But there's one thing I'd do different next coin: I wouldn't invoice so early. Because my coin got a lot (almost all possibles) delays and I received them about a month later than planned. And people started to get nervous (what I can completely understand)..

    Question 2: I wouldn't order more than 500. But that also depends on the design of your coin. So an artwork would be very helpfull. Take the Elchrich Elch-coin for example. 500 sold quite well. Or Dresseldragon.. Or.... And since you get your own icon when ordering at least 250 tracking numbers, you can also order less than 500 coins and still get your icon.

    -> I'd make a pre-sale. Give it some weeks (till the sample's in) and then decide how many coins you'll mint.

  11. Yeah, I read the entire post. I hope he did not find it during a bushwack. Diaper rash is bad enough, just try mixing it with poison ivy. You might also want to consider that the other babies might make fun of him wearing pink diapers. I just don't know.

     

    Whatever people choose to blow their cash on is fine.

     

    Who cares? If you don't like geocoins, fine. It's you opinion. But why can't you just be queit about that?

     

    I personally like the idea of making a coin of your own child. Hey, imagine how surprised he will be some years later! 'Mommy, that was really me?!' 'No son, it _is_ really you :)'

  12. Well, first they forgot to produce my samples/the molds. Later Groudspeak had this database problems.. I was wondering what else could go wrong :(

    But here they are! And they look so much better than the photos or the artwork :D

  13. Well, I could help some coins/TBs, too. Just send me an email!

     

    Btw: Is there anyone in Australia who could do me a favor and help one of my coins?

     

    @ Mustang Joni

    Do you need help translating the German logs?

  14. ozymandiasism, I'll do it the same way. Every coin will be delivered with it's activation code. I consider this as service.. And I also like it to get the acitivation code directly when I buy/get a coin. Don't like it, when I have to search for my code.
