Paypal sends automated tracking information for D/C to the seller and buyer CC'ed on both Paypal account's when you buy the postage through Paypal,,, no extra work to do and .14 cents is just a piece of mind issue, hand them to your postal carrier at your front door, Can even request a pick up on the route at no extra charge as well. Not sure how happy the the driver would be on a coin production run
Drop them inside the P/O at night (collection box) will be handeled the following morning,
exceptions would be international and the customs form having to go to a counter Yeap!
GlennK, your coins went out today priority mail. I actually had to drop it off at the post office because it's over 16oz. Do you want your CD #?
I guess I opened a can of worms here......lol. I think I'll stick with including the DC in the postage fee.
-
OK - I have sent 300 of my own coins out - 0 were lost.
. 39 cents for a mailer 000
. 63 cents for the postage
1.02 total cost to ship per US delivered coin.
Why add delivery confirmation if I can have a duplicate coin made at no charge to me?
How can you get a replacement coin for one that was lost in the mail at no charge?
The way I see it, If a coin is lost, stolen, or claimed to have never been received by the buyer then I'm going to have to refund or replace the coin at my cost.
I know it don't happen much but let's say someone orders 5 coins at $10 Shipped and it gets lost or stollen. Where is the $50 clams gonna come from to refund them?
I think .14 cents is a great deal for DC and it also gives me peace of mind and the buyer gets to see where his package is at during the shipping process.

Makre sure you warp your coins well, especially for non-circular coins
I'll WARP them the best I can
lol J/K -
PS you have to select (thick envelope) when buying First Class postage to get D/C through paypal.
If you want PM or email me your paypal addy, will send you 0.05 cents, and you can always void the label after trying it out,
Glenn
Thanks for the help........I found it on paypal and you are correct. It's only .14 DC using paypal pre-paid postage with thick envelope. I think that will work if I stuff some bubble wrap in with the coin to boost the hight of the envelope to 3/4".
-
I was just checking USPS website to figure shipping charges for a small bubble mailer for geocoins.
It won't give me the option for delivery convirmation for a 2 oz letter sending parcel post.
What does everyone else do for shipping coins?
If I pay shipping using paypal and print the shipping label, is delivery confirmation added?
-
I should have pricing in a day or two......It takes a little longer for price quotes because of the photo inlay on both sides but I think this was the right way to go. I don't think a 3d design would have looked as nice. As soon as I get pricing I will begin a pre-sale on the coin.
-
That's a pretty cool looking coin
how are you going to get gradient colors on it though? Is this a printed image or are you still in the submitting stage? I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. Keep us posted!The graphic has been submitted and I'm just waiting on a price quote. I'm planning to use a photo for the graphic rather than a 3d design.
-
As said before very nice ! What is the white around the edges going to be white in colour or a metal colour?Put me down for 4 .Again very nice job
The white will be white just as it is shown. I'm still not decided on the Blue or Yellow text. Blue is my favorite color but it does look nice in yellow
-
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I took a few great Ideas and suggestions and put them to use. Heres what I have so far and I think it looks pretty good as is.
Here is the coin graphic on a dark background so you can see the coin edge.
-
What exactly is the shape of the coin? I know it is paw-shaped, but where exactly is the edge of the coin?
The edge will most likely be just outside of the paw print all the way around so it will have a white edge . I think I will have the claws notched out slightly rather than have the coin edge rounded off on the top. I'm getting some good Ideas from everyone here
Right now I'm working on getting the text inside the main part of the paw without covering any of the panther graphic. I'm just about finished and I'll post the pics to see what everyone thinks. Then It's decision time on what will look best on the coin. -
what size were you going to make the coin 1.5, .175, 2?
Was thinking 1.75 or 2" I guess it's going to depend on the price.
-
I like the second desingn better (not that the first was bad either) I still think trying to put everything on the main paw is the best idea.
-TJ
Thanks.....Everyones opinion helps! I did try putting the text on the main part of the paw as you can see from the front graphic. The rear of the coin was the hard part. I tried to squeeze it on without taking away from the picture but no matter how I did it...It just didn't look right. I still have another Idea I'm going to work on later but so far I think the 2nd graphic will work out best as far as the text size.
-
Great looking coin, but we would have to agree with some of the others that the type will become really small when actual size. Make sure you print it out at full size to really see how small the text will become.
Ok.......after hearing suggestions that the text size may not be big enough on the actuall coin, I began doing some work on it. This is another option that I came up with. I still like the first graphic better myself but if the text is going to be too small I guess I'll have to go with my second option. Making the text larger and putting it on the main part of the paw print just didn't look right so I came up with an Idea to change the text color so It would stand out better on the white background, and then put part of the text on the paw print and part of it just below the paw print. How do you think this would look on a coin?

I'm figuring on getting 100 coins for the first run to see how they go. I'll probably pre-sell 75-80 and keep the rest for trades and to send a few in caches. I'm thinking about getting the first set numbered. If I knew they would take off really well I would get more made but since this is my first try at this I wanted to see how it went first.
If you're considering doing another run if they go well, be sure to say that up front when you're selling them. Some people take the minted numbers into account when they purchase and don't like it if more get minted later (since it reduces the demand for trades, etc.). Some people just do second mintings in a different metal to preserve the original numbers, but since black nickel is a rather unique metal colour that might not be an easy option for this coin.
Good Thinking......I think I'll keep it at 100 total coins.

nice art.
now is that supose to be a picture in the paw prints, or do you want that to be a 3d design?
I think it would look best in a picture but I'll see what the coin company comes up with for ideas.
I would like to keep the coin looking as close to the graphic as possible.
I think pics would be best as well., very cool. im also very interested in seeing proofs.
I'll be posting the proofs as soon as I get them. I just sent requests out for prices today and I'm not sure how long it takes to get the quotes. The graphics have been sent to coins & pins, Oakcoins and Personalgeocoins.com

Having a nontypical shaped coin is a plus. this design looks great and the idea of a blacklight glow in the dark feature sure would be cool. Count us in for a trade if you are interested in an 8 Muddy Feet coin
