    Received all four metals today. These are very nice coins! (Glad I got some traders, because people are going to be wanting these beauties later on.)

    Thanks, glad that you like the coins and I hope that it does become a sought after item in the future.

    Very nice coins indeed, Ian.

    Well done!

    Thanks, good to hear yours got to you quickly as well.

    Neat photo! Hmmm - how long will it take to get to Alaska? No snow yet, so they're not using dogsleds at the post office... <_< *sigh* I'll just have to practice being patient. These are beauties!

    Hopefully not too long and before the snow sets in. I posted yours on Friday - hopefully you won't have to wait too long. I look forward to hearing what you think of the once they are in the palm of your hand.

    I am not used to how you Europeans write your dates! I thought at first it said it was mailed on July 9th! LOL

     

    I can't wait to get mine! From the pictures, they look like they turned out great!

    LOL, Ok just to clarify the first batches went out today - 8th Sep.

     

    I am really pleased with how the coins turned out - oakcoins did a good job with them. I look forward to hearing what you think of them when you get yours.

    I have recieved the Best of British geocoins from the mint and I'm in the process of packaging them all up. I will start posting them out tomorrow in the order that they were paid. I aim to get them all out in about a week so please bear with me.

    Impressive website by the way

    Yep I quite agree the web site is very user friendly. Great looking coin which I couldn't resist so email on the way as well. :D

    Thank you both. I have got you both on the reservation list and I will send out the paypal invoices over the weekend.

     

    I tried to make the site as easy to use as possible and make sure that it lets everyone know the status of their order.

    I still have some Best of British geocoins available but they are shifting fast.

     

    They have a custom icon and are trackable on geocaching.com acting as a type of travel bug (if you don't keep them for your collection). Here is the icon:

    I currently have coins left in three of the metal finishes - Antique Gold (150 made), Antique Silver (150 made) and Antique Copper (only 100 made). They retail at £5 for the gold and silver and £5.50 for the copper. Each order will come with a free 3/4" pin badge of the same design as the coin.

     

    You can find out about the coin and how to reserve your own ones here:

    Very good advice from Jan and the Percey Boys. It can be an expensive game minting your own coins and its only if you do a largish batch that you can keep the costs down.

     

    Get in touch if you want any info about doing it - I'm more than happy to share lessons learnt from making mine.

     

    Some coins do very well with travelling but some people tend to think that they are just too "shiny" and spirit them away - its just one of therisks you face releasing coins into the wild. One option if you want to seed a special geocache is to get some wooden nickels donw - they work out a lot cheaper than metal coins.

    Thanks the.pud :blink:

     

    Just so that everyone is aware. The coins have now shipped from Hong Kong and are on their way to me. :tired:

     

    I am currently over halfway through creating all the paypal invoices so if you haven't received one yet don't worry I will get round to you.

     

    You can see whether or not you have been invoiced yet on the coins webpages:

     

    http://www.speakmanclan.co.uk/geocoin/bulldogcoin.php

     

    I have also created four coin editions on the coin collecting website (not sure if I can post a link to it or not) so if you use it then don't forget to add the coin to your list on there.

     

    All the best,
