+SeventhSon Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Pre-order starts today, Saturday 12/3/05 at 2pm Central Time. Why wait for artwork to be finalized. That will only delay minting. This image will be very close. Coins will be 1.5" diameter, with 250 minted: 100 chrome, 100 polished copper, 50 black nickel. Black area is raised metal, gray is recessed, white is cut-out. The recessed area of the text ring will be #2 granulated on the chrome and copper, and will have yellow enamel fill on the black nickel. Coins will have etched consecutive numbering (chrome 001-100; copper 101-200; black nickel 201-250). There will be 60 chrome and 60 copper (instead of 50) offered for pre-sale today at 2pm Central. First come first served. Limit: 1 of each metal offered per person/geonick/shipping address/etc. Price: 6.00 per coin plus 2.00 shipping/confirmation US. International orders add 5.00. Shipping is the same for 2 coins. Payment: Paypal only. I'll try to make this as easy as possible. Once pre-sale starts, I'll start a new thread with an email address and what the subject of the email should be, to help me keep track. I'll need your geonick, shipping address, coin type(s), and if you want a specific number (see above), but, as with the coins, no guarantee on the numbers. Chrome 001 is unavailable; 002, 007, and 057 are already requested, provided they get in in time. Copper 101 is unavailable. All emails will be answered (as quickly as I can) and the ones who got in will then be sent a paypal invoice. Please pay within 3 days of receiving the invoice, or coins will be passed on.

+Team Maddie UK Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Sorry but I will not pre-order from ebay. I will make purchases from there but do not expect to have to wait 6-8 weeks for an order from there. I do not mind pre-ordering from a forum post as these are easily found when a question or problem arises regarding sales, shipping dates etc. but unless you bookmark every sale or pre-sale to be able to access those pages you will never find them again. I realize that it is much easier to use their format and system but it wasn't so long ago that you needed coins in hand before you could sell them. The pre-order thread was to find out how many people were interested so you could place a reasonable order to cover the wants of us coin enthusiasts. Now it is pay me so I can pay them. I think we need to take a step back. My opinion Lynn Link to comment
+The Moops Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Going caching today. I should get my last Coin Quest requirement and my 600th today so I'll have to pass. Link to comment
+Team Maddie UK Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Good Luck moops:) Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) I might just make this one. Have to work the SEC Championship game today and I'm out the door at 3:45 EST. Edited December 3, 2005 by AtlantaGal Link to comment
+DancesWithMoose Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Darn. Get my event in for the coin quest or get these coins? With a 150 mile drive to the event, the timing is impossible. I'll be on the road 3-4 hours with the weather we're having. It will have to be the coin quest unless the roads are impassable. Bummer. Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 doing that thing called caching, looks like I'll have to miss out Link to comment
+MO Outdoorfamily Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 WAH!!! and I have to go to an event tomarrow about 100 miles away. Me too, but not 100 miles away. Still I guess I'll miss out on this rare coin due to an event. Hope maybe I can trade Senthson for one later since those purchasing will not be trading I'm sure. Link to comment

I think we need to take a step back. My opinion Lynn I'm not sure what the ebay comment means. This will happen here. My original plan was to have 100 minted for trades. Then decided it might be best to offer some up for pre-sale and bring the per-coin price down. The other thread was to guage interest to see if this was possible. I mentioned the total minting and how many would be offered. The only thing that has changed is I'm offering more. Maybe I'm doing this wrong. Pre-sales seems to be a common practice now, so decided to go that route. Sounds like I picked a bad time for it, so it may not work out too well anyway Edited December 3, 2005 by SeventhSon Link to comment
+Blind Avocado Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Personally I like the timing. Some people do not have access to a computer at work and cannot get in on any of the mid-week sales. Link to comment
+MO Outdoorfamily Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Personally I like the timing. Some people do not have access to a computer at work and cannot get in on any of the mid-week sales. I think it's good to have a variety of times that coins are available. It's more fun to trade and it opens up more trade oppurtunitys when different crowds can buy different coins at different times (at least on LE's of about 150-300 minted, not so sure it will make a difference on this one with the small minting but I'm not encouraging the minting of more either).
