I should add a note about LE. There will be a lot of Symbology coins made because of the huge demand for this coin. LEs, being "Limited Edition" will be limited, in that I will not be making more after the snapshot is taken, but the number will higher than what is traditionally considered "LE". The number will be in the 100's and you can assume that regular edition coins will number around 10x this.

Next contest for a LE (there will be several coming up). Design an icon for Symbology. It MUST be submitted as 32x32 and 16x16 gifs. Submit your icons to coins@crakephoto.com no later than noon CST, March 4. Icon winner will get a LE Symbology!

Well, you can buddy up and split the order, pay attention to the forums for some contests between now and shipping, or you can meet me in person and propose a trade

Let me know if this buddy system is a good thing or not. It is a bit of an experiment

Reservations are open.

Tick tock tick tock... Ok, seriously - don't camp out waiting for word that its open. I'll post it sometime Sunday morning CST, and I'll snap shot the reservations noon the following Sunday. No rush!

Three Roses is a little different - the "matching" half is a magnet, not an identical coin. Whether they are traded as a pair is up to the owner

Reservations open next weekend, and will be open for 7 days. Stay tuned!

Doesn't need to be a buddy. That's just a suggestion for those who want an LE but not multiple sets.

Whoops, I left a few zeros off the price!

Actually I'm going to keep that a mystery. Oh how evil.

http://www.geowoodstock5.com/index.php Ok, back to the program....

Well all I want is for everyone to promise to have a great time! That and try to make it to GW5 in a few months so I can say hi!

So much fun, poker, coinage, meeting everyone.... I'll be dreaming of being there with you guys!

Oh, good point. The window is open for a week, which should cover those who will be away. It'll probably be Sunday to Sunday.

Pricing info: Antiqued Bronze: $8.40 Antiqued Silver: $8.40 Combo (1 each of above): $16.00 ($8 each) And a special geared towards those who combine orders: 4+2 Combo (2 Antiqued Bronze, 2 Antiqued Silver, 2 LE): $48.00 ($8 ea) Here's how LE's will work. In about a week I will open reservations. 1 week later I will snapshot the reservations, and enough LE's will be ordered to cover reservations at that time. Reservations placed after that point will still be filled, but will not be eligible for LE's. Also LE's will not be reminted after that point (thus the "limited" part of the name ). So find a partner and combine your order to get your LE! You've got about a week to figure it out

Oh no - you didn't miss anything. I haven't taken reservations yet, let alone orders. I need to get through the current coins first!

I didn't want to stir the geopolitical pot when creating this list, and there's more than one hot topic in that sea of names. So I had two options: A: Delete the name of any region/country that is under control or whose control is contested. B: Keep with the geocaching.com's classification. Given the nature of the coin, I elected to go with geocaching.com's definition of "Country".

Email me at chris@crakephoto.com and I'll check the res list. These look to be popular!

Whew! So I can do something right! Thanks everyone!

Production Update: The die was damaged and has to be remade. This happens from time to time

Yup - It took a while to piece that list together. Puerto Rico also just missed the cut. Lithuania just barely made it. Of course the number of caches do change, so this is a snapshot taken a few weeks ago.

~tasia~, OshnDoc, wyohunter - thanks for your quick review. You all get LE versions of Symbology Seriously! But you might have to remind me when shipping time comes - things get crazy around here when orders open and coins start shipping!

Ok - I need your help. I admit to being a horrible speller. I've triple checked the Country names on the back of the coin. Illustrator also agrees on the spelling. But being the slightly paranoid person that I am, I need a second and third opinion. Got a few minutes? I'd love for some help Link to coin image

Beating a dying thread... but I promsied I would follow up if I had info from the factory. I confirmed with the factory that there is a "no-show" list of companies. The factory won't make samples from items produced for companies on that list. Needless to say, Crake is now on that list
