I am feeling much better. Almost all coins were sent out with the exception of a few that I'm having adress problems with. It was my fault. I didn't mail merge correctly and some people with really long addresses got screwed up. I will fix it and get the last 5 or 6 out in the next couple of days. My arms are tired. Cachanova

I apologize for my lack of updates. I have been ill and unable to get the supplies I needed to get the rest of the coins out. I am much better and got the rest of the supplies yesterday. For those of you who have not recieved your coins yet I will be sending them in the next couple of days. Please feel free to email me cachanova@ruralnetwork.net if you need info on anything. Thanks Cachanova

Ok I got the coins and am sorting them out and getting ready to send. they will be in the mail this week. If you do not recieve your coin by the end of Next week (the 26th) please email me and let me know. Thanks Cachanova

Just got off the phone with Rich and they are going to ohnor the quote as it was when I ordered (I never had a doubt). I do like working with these guys. They have been great. ORDER IS IN...................... Cachanova

I just talked with Matt (very nice person) and they are going to converse and see what they can do. They will be calling me shortly and I will update this. Its nice to have people who will talk to you. Thanks Cachanova

That is also how I feel. It is a little complicated because the Quote did have all the correct prices it was that they did not add the cost of putting the Tracking numbers on the coins to the total on the bottom line. I didn't double check there math and they didn't either. I hope they decide to ohnor the price they gave me as a total because the only other option for me is going with another mint. Thanks for your input. Cachanova

I would not agree. I think it is yet another reason coin company's should be more carefull when giving quotes. This is not a huge deal that will prevent this coin from being made. It will add a couple of days to this coin. WE WILL NOT START A HUGE FIGHT HERE. This is an update on the idaho micro coin and not a debate about pre-sales on coins. END OF STORY.

Oh boy is right. So after I place the order from all about challenge coins I now get an email saying they didn't add everything correctly and we will owe them 250.00 more than I was quoted. Well we all know how coins work especially the state coins and there just isn't 250.00 extra dollars to give them. So 1 of 3 things is going to happen. First option is they will eat it (not sure since this is the first time dealing with them), second is to charge over 500 people more money so we can get the 250.00 (I'm not doing this), and the third is we go with a different mint that can accomidate the price difference. I've enjoyed dealing with this company and everything was going so well untill this last little problem. I hope we can resolve it and one way or the other it will be resolved by tomorrow morning. I will post more info as I get it. I could cry its so frustrating when this stuff happens. Cachanova

I'm not currently selling anymore until we get them. I do have some to sell so keep an eye on this post and when I get the coins just pm me or contact me and I'll sell you some. Cachanova. Oh yes also I did order these and we are now at the mercy of the MINT. I'll post an update when I get more info. Thanks Cachanova

The short of it, No. First coin I received in about 20 days, the second in 17 (this was a more difficult coin to produce hense the issues I am having). I think their promise is 14 days to ship. That means from the time they get it at the mint 14 days + shipping. Give at least one day delay in communication of final order and a few days shipping. 17-20 is probibly a good ballpark, 14 is not. A couple days for you to turn them around you are at 3 weeks before anyone of you customers will get a coin in their hand. Good luck. Thanks

Don't know who you are using but if it is the company I know that was closed until the 3rd, I would not promise 14 days to delivery. The best I have gotten so far is around 17 days and that was supposedly their best mint. I think it is the same as you. So have they ever got coins to you on time?

Here is the update. We have the Tracking numbers(from Groundspeak) and are ready to order (would have done it sooner but our mint took a week off for the holidays). I will place the order first thing on the 3rd and then within 2 weeks we should have the coins. Will take me a couple of days to get them all out because of the number of orders. I apreciate everyone being patient and all in all I think this is still going very smooth. As soon as I get the coins I will upload pictures and start notifying people as soon as i send them out the door. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me or email me. cachanova@ruralnetwork.net Thanks Cachanova

Thanks for that info. I'm sure we can work around that. Thanks Cachanova

Well I have recieved the Groundspeak tracking numbers and was going to order the coins today from the Mint. I just found out they are closed until the 3rd. This is going to add another week to the expected time. I still should be able to have the coins by the 17th and get them out to people as soon as I get them. Sorry for this minor set back. I know everyone is looking forward to these coins. If you have any questions please feel free to post them here or PM me. Thanks Cachanova

closed until jan 3 Well thats a serious little set back. Going to add another week to the coins. Don't know how I missed that info. If anyone from allaboutchallengecoins.com is on here could you PM me or something. I really thought you guys were going to be open this week. Thanks Cachanova

Are they on vacation? I can't seem to get Rich on the phone. I was going to do the order today for the Idaho Micro Coin but no one is answereing the phone. Anyone know if they are on vacation? Thanks Cachanova

Couple more hours and I'm taking down the link to order. Get them if you want them cause you won't be able to get any after. Cachanova

Still have about 50 left so hurry up and order. This is it people. Tonight its all going to be over. I'd like to thank all of those who have ordered. I apreciate it and so does all the geocachers from Idaho. Thanks Cachanova

Wednesday at Midnight we will be finished ( I HOPE). Get your orders in ASAP. Cachanova

About 100 coins left for sale. This will all be over by Wednesday. Hope everyone that wants one gots one. Cachanova

Someone should organize a healthcare coin that is trackable and can have the option of having our caching name put on it. I know we have done that to the Idaho Geocoin in the past. This way lots of people could get a personalized coin and it would be alot cheaper. This would be a huge task for someone to do. Just my 2cents

Ya I thought the elk would be cool. Guess I should have posted a pic.

I've never met a coin I didn't like.

My favorite coin is the 2007 Idaho Micro Coin. I like it because of all the hard work that so many people put into it. I also like it because it is a cool design and also its Idaho's first Trackable Geocoin.

Only 150 coins left. Only a few days left. Thanks for all the orders. Cachanova
