Think I got it

Well, there's a new sales tactic....attack the buyers for asking for info! That should really help your cause. I'm thinking, since you gave very little info, that most would like to know what they are buying? If someone talked to me like that when I was asking questions about a product at a store, I'd walk right out (well, maybe after complaining to management). People need info to understand what is going on. I've yet to see where the money is going (TMA asked as to charity), no mention of how these were made etc... Yelling at those asking questions...not good! My Bad, I thought Yelling was when you typed in the whole post as caps. Did you ask where the money goes to other coin seller?? Other coin sellers don't have the "appearance" of potentially profiting from someone elses pain and suffering. Note that I am not saying you are, just that it has the appearance of profiteering. Again yet another reason why you are getting so many questions. Believe me I would love to have one of these, in fact it is on my seeking list, but NOT at $12.00 shipped. If a tag is being released in a soldiers name for every one sold you might to consider letting the purchaser pick the soldier that is represented so they to can feel connected to your cause. Anyway good luck . . . I have no problem with the buyer picking a special soldier who has been lost in the line of duty. . I only have access to soldiers that have passed from 2001 to present. If For someone in the service, they will have to email all information. to have Card made for them. At no cost. I bought 5 of these and I don't give a hoot what they are called. It is the thought that counts and I think this was well intentioned and still is. You nitpickers who had to keep piling on to defend yourselves are the reason many good causes die before their time. People take this stuff personally. I sure do!!!!!!!! Questions were asked and answered. I see no reason this thread should have gone on and on. Now pick on me if you'd like but I won't be back to read it so it'll be a waste of your time which it appears you have a lot of. GREAT JOB USA 45!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmmmmm someone has their undies in a bundle holy cow. Nit Picky? Actually I feel it has been quite civil up until your holier than thou post. Contrary to your obvious belief, I doubt there is a poster in this thread that would argue that the concept of this "coin" is not a good one and not well intentioned but I think there have been concerns and hard questions that needed to be asked and they were rightly and respectfully presented to the OP. Whether they have been answered satisfactorily is for others beside me to decide but I do believe people have a right to be informed when they are asked to put out their hard earned dollar for something that was at best vaguely listed. In any case I wish this project well . . .

I think the cause is worthy but your methods are are not well thought out IMHO. As for the speech about postage and mailers I think the $3.50 plus .50 for each extra that you are charging should more than cover that expense. Again I think "your" cause is just though I am leary. I am not trying to pee in your soup but you can't just expect others to blindly jump on board hence all the questions you are receiving.

I really like the idea of this "coin" but like nicolo I have questions also about the material used, the dimensions, how many were minted, etc. On the web page you list http://www.ohiosultimatesacrifices.com/ it is called a "travel tag", what separates this "coin" from the "Travel Bug Dog Tags"? If this is just a Travel Bug Dog Tag in disguise then I agree that $12.00 shipped is definitely a bit high. I will wait for more details before I decide.

dhenninger 2007 Christmas - Thanks Dave, well done The Roth 5th Anniversary Event

Here is the icon for inquiring minds:

Hope everyone had a safe Thanksgiving. Thanks to all who have bought some of these. And thanks for all the great emails as well, trade offers will be entertained after the sale is complete and when I get the coins in hand.

Thanks for the kind words about the coin and I am happy my inspiration for the coin is enjoyed as well. The trip to Jamaica was an incredible experience. This coin has been thought about for some time and it is fun and exciting watching it all come together. Thanks go out to tadpole379 for drawing the 3D dread locked lion for me. Great job Jackie, I am proud of it and I hope you are too. A HUGE thanks goes out to Jim at Castle Coins & Pins for helping make this coin a reality. You made it all possible. The English language doesn't contain the words required to express my gratitude so a humble and heart felt thank you will have to suffice.

Because you may not know, using all caps is considered YELLING! and is harder on the eyes to read as well. Welcome to the obsession . . .

Hmmm might have something to do with the fact that every coin in his discovered column is still in his possession. 30+ coins stolendiscovered with 7 finds
