+LadeBear68 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) GRRR, I swear my mailman is eating my coins. Guess I can just admire the ones on $%^&*(. Edited December 9, 2005 by LadeBear68 Quote Link to comment

SlytherinAlex Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) Well even asking nicely doesn't do the trick.. Edited December 9, 2005 by SlytherinAlex Quote Link to comment
+Puma Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think this is because in the meantime there are people who even don't collect geocoins, they just order them to sell on ebay and to fatten their wallets ... Sad but true ... btw, how many of the UK coin were minted and when do we get ours in Europe. Quote Link to comment
+hydnsek Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) Got mine in Seattle area today - thanks, they look great! Edited December 9, 2005 by hydnsek Quote Link to comment

Sad but true ... btw, how many of the UK coin were minted and when do we get ours in Europe. I'd rather not say the exact amount as that only feeds the ebay market, but what I will say is that it is a lot less than the EU coin, which is sold out and still selling steadily on ebay. Coins to Europe will be shipped as early next week as I can. They are currently stuck in a blizzard in Chicago. Quote Link to comment
+globalgirl Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Well even asking nicely doesn't do the trick.. Now that's just plain slime... Meanwhile... anxiously awaiting the dubloons here in Left Seattle. Quote Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 Now that's just plain slime... And then there is the other side of the coin (ouch!!) For every slimeball, there is a nice guy like "gunchris" who just emailed to say that we had sent him too many coins and could he pay for them or did we want them back. Honesty is such a great thing. Thanks Chris. Alex. Quote Link to comment
+chrisgun Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Thanks for the kind words, Alex.... Just for the record, I'm "chrisgun" not "gunchris", and honesty is my middle name (wink).... I am bouncing off the walls with excitement that I accidentally bought 9 UK coins. Woohoo!!!! Maybe I'll finally manage to score a Dutch coin with one of my new trade items ;0) Any takers? And for those of you who don't have one yet, they are mighty fine looking coins. Cheers to those who participated in the design!!! - Chrisgun, aka Christine (NOT Christopher) Quote Link to comment

Thanks Chris. Alex. I just received a package today containing four (4) UK coins that I didn't purchase. I'd already received the one I ordered a couple days ago. Mine came from Maplewood MN, if Ms Montez would get a hold of me regarding things via email (no email for her was in the package), we can coordinate getting the extras back to you so you can get'em to the right person.

+globalgirl Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Ditto here in Left Seattle - 2 of the suh-weetest honeys arrived on the snail today. One engraved (at the last minute!) for my geopal CENT5, and one festooned w/ my own geohandle. Thanks ever so much Alex - you've truly done a fine job of it here. And that frosty beer ever awaits your visit from the Motherland! Quote Link to comment
+Packman5 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Just received ours today in PA... great looking coin!!! Quote Link to comment
+ChileHead Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) That's a great looking coin. I haven't received mine yet, and I know others in NY have. I hope they're still somewhere between here and there! Edit: See ... all I had to do was post that I didn't receive them, and the postman shows up like magic with the coins! They look great!

And that frosty beer ever awaits your visit from the Motherland! Aw, now why would you wish a cold one on Alex ? Every pint I ever hefted in the UK was served at room temperature . Still waiting up here, but per Alex's earlier post, Alaska was temporarily forgotten and those coins will come last . Quote Link to comment

Okay - I'll try that! Maybe this post will help mine along as well. PLEASE come today, please come today! I can't stand the excitement! Ahhh! Mail came - no coins yet. Didn't work.

SlytherinAlex Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 For the first chance at coins, I'm sure every geocacher in Texas would have given her free room and board...I know that Pepper would have... I might just take her up on that in January then. Alex. Quote Link to comment

It's Northwes I'm concerned about since I believe his coins are included in my order and I'm over 600 km from his home . Good thing I've got a couple of trips to Alaska's banana belt scheduled between now and Christmas . Quote Link to comment
+Shasties Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Well, Jagman714 lives not to far from me, so maybe we'll get something on Monday. I swear the Post Office dogsleds get slower every time I'm waiting for a new coin issue. Quote Link to comment
+LadeBear68 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I received my three UK coins. They are absolutely beautiful. I contacted SyltherinAlex about having three different names on the coins. All three names were correct and well done. This coin has now moved up to my top 3. Thank you for all your hard work.

+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 So far I am coin-less in Canada -- but that's okay! I'm sure they will arrive and I look forward to bringing them forth into the Commonwealth! In fact, I have a bunch of extra items I plan to place with these coins that are around a British theme. Mostly old stamps with monarch images on them (ruler, not butterfly), some old rock pins, and that sort of thing. Too bad food in a cache is such a bad idea -- I'd place some TripleX's and Salted Licorice to see just how tough cachers around here are! Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure exactly which day the UK coins showed up in Fairbanks since I was one the road the past four days, but they were on my desk waiting for me when I got back. Nicely done!!! The personalized coins are also very nice. Now, if I can just figure out who "WJS" is so I can get his coins to him . Quote Link to comment
SlytherinAlex Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Now, if I can just figure out who "WJS" is so I can get his coins to him . Can you email me directly about this. Alex. Quote Link to comment
