Samples are incoming... should have photos, reservations, etc. soon!

Thanks to TX cachers who attended TX challenge (my favorite caching event!). Thanks to everyone who gives me support, and thanks to the founders who help make all of this possible.

LE Reservations have been released and I have 6 LE combo sets available - please email me if interested.

Hey, that's cool.

The design on the linked page is the center of the Sun Stone, which is also known as the Aztec Calendar. It was featured on Tracking Time and another Aztec coin that I did not make. Anyone can use that design, even though it may seem like a copy cat for it to be on yet another coin. I've seen it everywhere, even carved on this really old rock in Mexico City

I dunno - The Aussies got theirs Why is NZ postal service so slow?

My "Texas Wildflower" geocoin for 2007 is the Entireleaf Indian Paintbrush, aka the "Texas Paintbrush". They bloom the same time as Bluebonnets and make for fantastic contrast in the fields. Preproduction is underway, and I'll post photos in a couple of weeks. In the meantime here's a view of the art - enjoy! Polished Silver and Polished Gold finishes 1.75" Diameter GC Tracking + icon (of course) $7.90 ea or set of 2 for $15 Stay tuned!

Well I'm pretty much caught up - so folks should not be waiting for long! This was by far the largest round of orders I've had, and its kept me busy. That and my dog had surgery today, but that's another story. (Dog is doing well - Vet says he should walk again soon).

Thanks for all of the great comments. I really enjoyed this one, and I'm thrilled others enjoy it as well!!

Hmmm - while cute, the Moose doesn't cut it for an icon. Speaking of which I STILL NEED ONE! sigh.

Well, I have to make sure I keep the coins separated, else a singularity will form!

I dunno, it doesn't look natural, does it?

I'm kidding of course

I ship one package per day. So some will have to wait until October.

Oh - and for those getting your coins first, keep the LE finish a secret so folks will be surprised

Coins arrived and are shipping! It will take me a few days to get through all of the orders.

Coins arrived and are shipping! Please remember the dies were damaged and look slightly different that pictures posted here. Such goes with hand-crafted dies!

Another note on pennies... you'll probably want to stick to pure copper pennies. New pennies are zinc coated with copper, and will streak when smashed. Dates prior to 1982 work well for smashing.

My favorite three words "International Shipment Release"

Send me an email and I'll look up your reservation.

Different countries have different delivery times. From my experience, shipping from the US: Germany is the fastest for Europe, 3-5 days. UK is a little longer. Switzerland can take even longer, and in the case of a recent shipment, lose the package alltogether! New Zealand is extremely fast as well, 4-6 days. Australia is just behind, taking about a week. Now for the bottom of the list. Canada is BY FAR the SLOWEST - taking 1-3 WEEKS for packages to get up there.

Yes - please email me at chris@crakephoto.com if you helped out. I'll make sure you get a LE

Coins have been spotted in final production!
