So I wonder how many coins were actually put up for sale. Who guessed a sellout in under 2 minutes? This is no way to run a business. Consumers have rights! If I put something in my shopping cart, it should be there at least long enough to complete the purchase process!
Okay, I hate pre-ordering coins but if it guaranteed an end to fiasco's like what happenned today, I'm all for it. I am really disappointed Coins & Pins. This is not about the coins. I get that there are only so many to be had. But if I have something in my cart, it's mine, you're just waiting for my money. This is a software issue and it's gonna cost you in future sales and loyal customers.

I have never seen this many people on line in this forum! Look at all the names ....

I bought two of each metal at GW5. I had a friend not going that wanted to make a trade for one when I returned. Of course, Dark Star wanted a set too. It was SO hard to let any of these go...I loved them all. When the dust settled and the tears dried, I was still clutching my LE coin. (Being over dramatic...I made great trades and people were so happy to have one of these gorgeous coins.) So tonight I head over to CMs site just to see if any of the remints remain, and Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy, I order a chrome one. I'm thinking I'll do a wirewrap and make a wonderful suncatcher for my classroom. Thanks again!
You mean like this?

Got some!

My son wanted me to ask if there is any significance in the fact that the Vitruvian man is labeled as simply a "coin" while the other two are clearly named "geocoin"?

WOW! I've seen your work on other coins, but hadn't noticed that you wrapped one of our smirks! I'd love to get one, or maybe one for each of us, wrapped!
An email will be on the way when Chris gets home from work!
It would be my pleasure. The unique shape of your coin demanded a more creative design. Here's another unique wrap designed for a unique coin.
We haven't forgotten about this! We've been busy getting ready for the MWGB. Hopefully we'll get a chance to meet you there and we can give you a coin and your coinpayment too. I can't wait!!
Urgh!
Sorry but events have conspired against me and I won't be attending MWGB this year. Maybe you could hold one of those event specials for me?

Very kewl coin Tsun!

Antique gold still available! Just ordered a couple.

Since these are already at the mint, can you post some pictures of the sample coins? It is really beautiful artwork, but IMHO, I find actual pictures of a new coin to be most persuasive in closing a sale.

Congrats on the coin Dennis, now if you want me to wear that around my neck we will have another deal.
Well, we will have to see how much weight I can add to this coin first
. Maybe 3.5' of 1" chain ?Will need to talk BooBoo out of the Easter coin, that would look nice wire wrapped. No I do not mean to keep it either it is hers, but I am sure she would be happy to display it with the others
.Dennis,
I would be happy to do this for you...

I don't know any of the artists' personally, so the "respect" portion to the question, I can not honestly answer.
Depends on what the definition of an artist entails, do you mean the graphic design person? The person who draws theirs, or the person who developes the concept, or the person who handmakes theirs?
I don't know who designed every coin but there are a few coin designs that I really think are great. Many designs are simply stunning in their intracasy while others are beautiful due to their simplicity, and best of all, handmade is always wonderful. I'm not going to personally contribute to the popularity contest here
but instead just say; thank you those of you, no matter what part in the design process you play, for putting thoughtfullness into your craft. You should know who you are tsun
This I totally agree with. Frankly, after reading this thread I was torn! We (this forum, and I include myself) can't just celebrate that Okay. Reality check here. I was almost going to flame out here.

Where's mine?
Need me to send you another one?
Maybe so....
With the wide variance I've seen with the US Postal service on delivery times (2 days to get a coin from Calif. to NC vs 4 weeks to get a coin from Oregon or 3 weeks to get one from Florida) -- how long does everyone here typically wait before resending a package?
I'm am very sorry Scott, my post was not clear. I got your GeoTag on Monday and thanks! I was referring to your pictures. My GeoTag isn't in any of your pictures, but I got your note, thanking me for sending it, so I thought maybe you lost it or somethin'...
BTW, nice pictures!

Here's what I got so far, but this is just artwork. It would be really nifty to see this as a poster with the actual coin images. Enjoy everyone!

Drat!
Missed the boat on this one. email sent... -
the pictures don't do it justice. It really needs to be backlit to bring out the stain glass effect.
This is a type of geocoin I'd love to do if I had the cash to do it.
Here is your "backlit" picture.

Can I get confirmation of the numerals on the Paris Meridian Geocoin?
36365014 161869885
Are these correct? My issue is with the imprint of the 5th & 6th digit in the 161 sequence....
Thanx
The numbers you have listed are correct!
RD has already verified that these numbers are correct. Now then, what they actually represent is a whole different thing...

Hi Dianne!
If DaMenance's info doesn't pan out, I might have the info you require. I did some e-Business with her a while back so I should have that data somewhere in my PayPal history. I'll did it out if you need it.
Been reading the logs for your recent event. Looks like it was a lot of fun!

How could I resist!
Lovely coin. Email sent. -
Presumably, the Atwell Family has a complete collection of the 1st GeoTag run. I know it's a long shot, but is there any chance we could get a picture of said collection? Perhaps even with GC names? I think it would be really kewl. Imagine this poster size... I would be willing to donate time to such an enterprise...
Has anyone else managed to collect every GeoTag? TSD?
BTW, still have some of mine left to trade...
but instead just say; thank you those of you, no matter what part in the design process you play, for putting thoughtfullness into your craft. You should know who you are
