For those of you who are receiving the special Bronze-copper coins to place in caches I will send you an e-mail with the coins missions for you to print and place with the coin, and if you would like please translate it into you native language and e-mail back to me for posting on the web site. Thank you for everyone who has helped me along this has been great experience. Now I can focus on actually going geocaching.
  6. The coins arrived yesterday and I spend last night packaging most of them for shipping. Everyone who has paid will have their coins shipped late today or first thing Saturday morning. If you have not paid for your coins please send in your payment before Saturday 5 - 12 by Noon PST so I make a second run to the post office and mail all the coins before the shipping rates go up on the 14th. I do have a few coins left: 1 - Silver 5 - Copper 2 - Bronze 2 - LE Bronze-Silver 3 - LE Silver-Copper There may be more available after next week once all the current order have been processed. I’m giving everyone who has not paid yet until early next week to send in payment. Here is a photo of all 8 versions:
  7. 50 of my personal Geocoin are for caches only, they are a special two tone Bronze / copper version.
  8. Here is the latest information about the coins. Total Mint was 500 coins split into 8 finishes of which 6 were for sale. Coin minting per version. Regular version: 75 - Antique Silver 90- Antique copper 75- Antique Bronze 60- Black Nickel Two tone Version: 50 – Silver with 3D image in antique copper 50 - Bronze with 3D image in antique silver Special tow tone versions: 50 - Copper with 3D image in antique silver. These are my personal coins for trading, first to find coins, gifts etc. 50 – Bronze with 3D image in antique copper delivered to geocacher around the world to place in a nearby cache. These coins are meant to travel they should never be keep or sold. So if you see one for sale or in a personal collection let me know. NOTE the Bronze with 3D copper birds is a change for the original finish that was Black Nickel with Nickel birds, which looked much like the regular black nickel. Everyone who I have contact information, address etc. has been invoiced. So if you have not received an invoice check you spam filter. The coins were ordered on 4-11-07 and the estimated ship date from the mint was a little over three weeks. Which should be the week of May 2nd.
  9. The coins are now on order and I have started sending out invoices today. The estimated ship date is a little over three week from now. Everyone should have their invoice by early next week.
  10. The two tone sample picture from the Mint is finally here. Here are the pictures of front and back. All the coins will have the texture on the recessed metal including the regular coins. The black nickel-nickel coins do not look much different from the regular black nickel. So I will probably be changing then to something different. They are the giveaway coins for placing in caches so I will pick something I like and go with that. I need help deciding if I should have the two tone coins polished or not. These coins are polished and the regular coins are not. Post your vote here so I can get the final order placed the frist part of next week.
  11. Just updating everyone on the coin status. I am still waiting on the two tone Sample coins. We had a mix-up on these samples coins and somehow we did not get them ordered until March 3rd. I am in the process of getting invoices, shipping labels created, packaging material, ect ready to ship when the coins arrival. I will post a notice here when the final coins are ordered and then start sending out invoices with the expectation that payment will be received when I receive the coins from the Mint. I still have a few coins left: Here is what is left for coins. All spoken for – Black Nickel 1 - Antique Silver 3 - Antique Bronze 8 - Antique Copper LE Coins: 7 – Bronze – Silver 7 – Silver – Copper Thank you for your continued patience.

For international orders the shipping will be on the invoice. Here is what is left for coins.

I will place the order for the coins in the next week or so.

  15. Just to give everyone an update. I'm still waiting on pictures from the mint and sample coins. I have orders for just over 200 coins, so I might drop the mint run to between 300 and 400 hundred coins depending on how many coins are sold before I place the order. The price will not change if I mint fewer coins. For those of you that have ask about trades, you can specify which finish you would like to trade and I will place you on a trade list. However I don’t plan on having very many left over. There are a few of the sets of 6 still left, so if you want them send me a e-mail.
  16. This post is to announce the presale of my first personal geocoin. The coins will be 1.75 inch diameter 3.5mm solid brass or copper coin. The front will have a 3D depiction of both a male and female “Ceryle alcyon” Belted Kingfisher. The back of the coin will have four symbols representing the tools and technology of Geocaching. The mint I have chosen to use is Oakcoins. These coins will be trackable on geocaching.com and have their own Icon. The artwork has been submitted and the dies have been paid for. I expect to have the sample in hand in about two weeks and hopefully have pictures to post before that. After I have the sample and verify the look and feel I will place the final order. The current expected time frame is mid March for final coins. Now on to the details. The total mint run will be 500 coins. There will be four solid and two LE two tone versions for sale for a total of 400. 50 – Black Nickel 75 - Antique Silver 75 - Antique Bronze 100 - Antique Copper LE Coins: 50 – Polished Gold – Silver 50 – Polished Silver – Copper In addition to this there will be two special versions minted. There will be 50 – two tone Black Nickel – Nickel coins minted for placing is caches around the world. The majority of these coins will be sent along with your orders to be placed in a cache near your home. These coin are meant to travel and never be colleted so if you see them is someone collection or for sale they will be consider stolen. The last 50 coins will be Copper – Silver, the only way to get these is directly from me as a gift or in one of my caches. The final cost of the coins will be $7.25 for the regular and $8.50 for the LE coins. Anyone who reserved coins during the design of my coin will receive the original pricing. After many recommendations from other geocacher who have created their own coins here are the shipping fees. US orders - $1.50 for the first coin and .50 cent for each additional coin. International orders - Contact me so we can figure out the most cost effect way to ship them to you. I will send invoices out a week or two before I expect to have the coins. You can pay via Paypal, check or money order. If you would like to pay with check or money order just let me know this will delay your coins until payment has been cleared, so send it in early if you do not want your coins delayed. To order coins send an e-mail to belted.kingfisher@verizon.net with your Caching Name: Real Name: PayPal e-mail address: Street: City: State: Zip: number and finish of coin you want: If you have sent in a reservation during the design there is no need to send me a second E-mail unless you are changing your order. The first 15 people to order a complete set of all 6 coins will receive them for $42.00 plus shipping.
  17. Jeremy and company my hat off too you guys for the great effort and quick resolution. I received my validation e-mail and things are back up and running.
  18. Yep I just posted asking if anyone else is having issues.
  19. Is any one having problems logging on to their accounts? Both my account and my wife's account have this message You need to validate your account. If you have the validation code from the email we sent you, visit the validation page, otherwise you can send a validation email. If you click to validate your account you never receive a message from GC or Groundspeak. Both account are current and in good standing. Basic we are shut down for caching until we can validate one of our accounts. I also canot post e-mail to anyone through GC so I canot send a message to GC about my problem.
  20. I currently have reservations for 75 coins. I have made a slight change to the artwork, shifting the birds left just a little bit and adding color to the center circle on the GPS on back. I will be changing the thickness to 3.5mm after suggestions from other cachers who have minted coins. This will change the price to $7.00 for a 500 coin minting and $7.50 for a 250 coin minting. I will officially make this change on Thursday January 25th anyone who has sent reservations in before that date will receive the original price. After that date the new pricing applies. you can reserve coins by sending me an e-mail Belted.kingfisher@verizon.net Today at midnight is the last day to get the discount pricing!
