    Geocoin Collectors Going To Geowoodstock 4

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I'll be there - plane tickets have been purchased and the hotel reservation is made. My personal should be done late this month or early May (there, the cat's out of the bag). I'm only bringing a few with me and plan to do some trading while I'm there. I'll probably arrange several more trades to be fulfilled after I get home.

     

    Please be sure to post the list or email it so we can all know who'll be there :-)

     

    Thanks,

    2006-2007 16-month Geocoin Calendars

    in Trackables

    Posted

    Well now it's April 2 and I'll close this thread with a couple of facts. As of now there were 264 views for this topic. Of that, 108 (not counting me testing) clicked through to the html page. Maybe there is enough interest in making a calendar after all.

     

    I had half-expected someone to post a "jumping the shark" reply or a "really taking advantage of us" message but that didn't happen :laughing:

     

    Thanks to all who clicked through! Happy April Fools Day!

    2006-2007 16-month Geocoin Calendars

    in Trackables

    Posted

    In celebration of geocoins (and because geocoin addicts just can never get enough geocoin stuff), we're proud to introduce the 16-month 2007 Geocoin Calendar. This beautiful, full-color, 12x12 calendar opens to 12"x24" and features sixteen high resolution photos of some of your favorite geocoins. Some are rare; some are common - but all deserve a place on your wall.

     

    Keep track of those important dates in your geocoin life - when you ordered, when an ordered coin is due, when to start a new thread in the forums asking when the coins will be delivered, and even when you make a trade! Each and every day from September 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007 has its own box that's individually numbered, holidays included! You'll never miss a day again!

     

    The cover features BikiniBottomFeeder's 2005 coin. Inside you'll find 16 months of gorgeous, full-color, life-like photos of the icons of geocoins - Moun10Bike, AtlantaGal, Nevada, GOWT, Not Another Micro, pdxmarathonman, Grand Canyon, 2Bugs, Temecula Valley, the 2006 Compass Rose, Germany, and more. Each calendar is sequentially numbered AND has a geocaching.com tracking number and icon. It may be ordered with or without personalization such as your caching name.

    The calendar is available in two editions for sale to the open market - the Regular and the Limited. The LE features photos of the Limited versions of each geocoin... including a rare, previously unpublished picture of a Moun10Bike V1 actually in the wild! The RE includes pictures of the regular coin editions including Moun10Bike V3.

     

    These are sure to sell out fast and be highly desirable collectibles in the years to come. Once they're sold, they won't be printed again. Be sure to reserve yours now!

     

    An extremely rare XLE of just five calendars will also be available by auction only. These feature a hand-applied gold leaf cover, special embossed versions of four of the geocoins, and other features we just won't reveal here. Just know that you'll be the envy of your geocoin addicted friends when you list this as a "keeper."

     

    We are currently working with the manufacturer on final artwork but will begin taking reservations now with delivery in early July. PayPal invoices will be sent when artwork is finalized and printing has begun - as early as June 1. Calendars are designed, printed, and shipped right here in the U.S.A!

     

    One hundred (100) LE calendars will be available at $19.95 plus shipping. Four hundred (400) RE calendars will be available for $14.95 plus shipping. Shipping is $2 for the first calendar and $0.85 for each additional calendar. International shipping is based on actual cost; please inquire before ordering. Personalization is $8 for the first 10 characters and $1 for each additional character; you must specify your personalization message when ordering. There is a limit of 2 LE and 10 RE per order; orders exceeding this limit will be cancelled and refunded. Reservations are open now using the link below.

     

    For those of you who would like all the calendars in the series (we'll be publishing one per year for at least the next five years), you can subscribe via PayPal and not miss a single year.

     

    Make your reservations by clicking here.

     

    We are also working on a 52-week desktop version. Please indicate your interest in a reply to this thread.

     

    Thanks for your interest and your support for the 2007 Geocoin Calendars!

    Shipping Coins For Trade Overseas.

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I went to ship some coins to the UK from the US, and ran into a little snag.

     

    The lady at the postal place (not USPS) told me that coins and currency were not allowed to be mailed to the UK. I read through the rule book she had, and it listed forms of currency. I would consider these to be of a comemorative more than a currency nature.

     

    Am I going to have a problem with this shipping? I can still stop it because they won't forward it to the post office until tomorrow.

     

    Any information would be appreciated, thanks.

     

    A long time ago, in a thread far, far away, there were suggestions for what to put on the declaration forms. Since then I've used "Token" about 8 times without a problem. Of course, they still ask if it's hazardous or explosive material but I guess they're supposed to do that with all packages they get at the window.

    Another Mountain Bike Coin On Ebay

    How about listing him, then seeing what you get. Then, if it's enough do the deed :(

    You'd have to guarantee to the buyer that you could deliver him in the appropriate amount of time. You know, so you don't get in trouble with Ebay/PayPal. :o

     

    Nah... production problems obtaining the proof :(
