+walkergeoff and wife Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Got mine too. Sadly, I ordered too late to get my name on it. Must find a local engraver................ Quote Link to comment
+Longfram Kev Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 My coins arrived today thanks very much, they look even better in the "flesh". One thing I did notice though, the coin with my name on has the number 015, so I guess thats number 15 out of ??? The other coin with NO name on it has NO number, is this correct ?

+lordelph Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 This came up in the chatroom this morning, I believe there are 228 numbered coins Quote Link to comment

+scaw Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Thank you for the arrival of my UK coins they are lovely. The pictures dont do them justice Quote Link to comment
+Mr'D Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Is it just me, or are others feeling loath to be separated from their beautiful UK Geocoin? I have three and don't want to part with any of them I hope this feeling passes... Quote Link to comment

+The Wobbly Club Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Thanks for sending our coins arrived today. They look even better in real life. One of ours had the number 039 the other un-numbered both were engraved with our caching name. Thanks again and Seasons Greetings from Daphne + Colin aka The Wobbly Club Quote Link to comment
+Mr'D Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 As mentioned previously, several time, there are 228 numbered coins, the rest are NOT NUMBERED. Please let me rephrase my question. Why did coin numbering cease at 228? Quote Link to comment
+Clyde. Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Bonnie's and Mine arrived this morning..... how kool are they ? We will release them into the wild very soon. far too nice to be kept in a cupboard somewhere A big thank you for all the effort that has been put in to getting these off the ground...... THANK YOU LOADS Quote Link to comment
+Slytherin Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Why did coin numbering cease at 228? Why not? It had to stop somewhere. Alex. Quote Link to comment
+walkergeoff and wife Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Any idea where I can get cheap engraving? I was too late to get it done as part of the purchase. I was quoted £10.95 by a local key store, and £13.99 by a well-known high street jewellery shop. I would like to pay a little less - or get some Letraset and varnish! Quote Link to comment
+ac-p Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Got mine today - they look great! Thanks for all the work that's gone into them. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
+Kitty Hawk Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I hadn't noticed the number, I had 'played' with the unnumbered one. I got number 13, thanks, how cool is that! Adrian Quote Link to comment
+davy boy Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Got mine also today,thanks Alex and everyone else involved for all the hard work you have put into this nice coin Quote Link to comment
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Ours arrived today and very nice they are. Thanks for all the hard work put in to get em to fruition. Quote Link to comment
+Haggis Hunter Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I got mine today too, some of the writing on the front isn't inscribed properly, but I think getting number 012 made up for that. Thanks Alex. Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I still aint got mine must have upset somebody down the line Quote Link to comment
+The Hornet Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I got 1 numbered and 4 un-numbered. I have to say they all look superb and I'm one happy bunny! Quote Link to comment
+Mr'D Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Why not? It had to stop somewhere. Alex. Because I have an inquisitive mind! Could understand numbering stopping at 99 or 999 for space restrictions, but 228 is odd (Oh OK then, I know it isn't...!) Quote Link to comment
+Simply B Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Our two arrived safely today. They look great. In fact so great that Antonia (4) had ripped open the envelope, cast aside the registration note, and swiped both coins and hidden them in her room before I got home. It took a fair bit of bribery and persuasion before I even got to see them. Thanks again for all the effort that went into them. Quote Link to comment
+John Stead Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 My two arrived safely today - many thanks to Alex and all involved. Quote Link to comment

+Pharisee Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 My 4 arrived this morning. The numbered one (049) I've activated and will keep. The first of the un-numbered ones has been activated and will be set free in a new cache (The Planets - Pluto [GCRHWT]) that's scheduled for 'publishing' on Saturday Oh dear.... have I inadvertently advertised a cache... ? Umm.... Sorry Quote Link to comment

+Cryptik Souls Crew Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Someone in the UK has already put one on ebay HERE If it bothers you then you could report the listing to ebay. The title says "not travel bug" and under ebay t+c's thats search manipulation and isn't allowed. Quote Link to comment
+The Wombles Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Got ours, thanks. Very well made - Nicky doesn't want to part with them Quote Link to comment

+Skippy and Pingu Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Got them yesterday, cheers. Didn't know what was in the package, Pingu thought I'd been buying tat from Ebay again!!! Quote Link to comment
+Happy Humphrey Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Someone in the UK has already put one on ebay HERE I'm not sure that it's a big deal if a few are sold on Ebay (although I don't intend to do that with any of mine!). But perhaps the best way of discouraging this is for everyone to start dropping them off in caches (as per the original idea of geocoins)... Then people who don't possess one can at least borrow an example for a few days, diminishing the temptation to obtain one by hook or crook. I'll hang on to one of mine, and perhaps another for a swap, but the rest are destined for the caching world! HH Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Just had a phone call from home , Its arrived . Will have to wait till I get home to have a look at it. Thanks to all involved Quote Link to comment
