ParentsofSAM Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 BUMMER! I missed it I agree that their time is off....I will try again in the morning and I will get there early... Quote Link to comment
+teamcarramrod1 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Cool, I kinda thought that's how most got more coins for trade but wasn't sure. I think I'll try for some tomorrow because there are other ones I want. Quote Link to comment
+WeatherednBoston Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Alot of people buy more than one for trades and even to re-sell. The only reason why I only bought one is because I got laid off and am a very poor lady right now lol In fact if anyone wants to send me a free personal coin right now I would totally be thankful! I do plan on making my own coins as soon as I'm employeed again and would be sure to return the favor! Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The geocoinstore server time is shown on the page right above "COINS UP NOW" It does seem a few minutes fast, but you should be prepared when the next batches go on sale tomorrow (Friday) at 9am and 10pm EST. Quote Link to comment

+NoLemon Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I tried and couldn't proceed because of the access code thing. What's up with that? I thought it was open to non-members or did I read it wrong? Guess I did. There were two sales for the IL coin tonight, GB. One was for the general public and it sold out very quickly. The other was for members of the IL clubs. Quote Link to comment

It appears the the Blue Flowers on the back of my coins is different on each coin. I wonder if anyone else has this oddity and I want to know wat it should look like. Both of mine have blue flowers, and yes the coins seem a little different there - like the blue paint was dotted in slightly different spots on each one.

+Audion64 Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 The 'bush'/'blue flowers' is the Illinois State flower.... the violet. Due to the tiny intricate detail I think it was pretty much impossible to paint them all identically.... all the more uniqueness to each coin. I do wish the detail on the Monarch butterfly would have come out better but overall I think they did a pretty good minting job on the coins. Quote Link to comment
