Parrolet Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Can you give us details about the coin? How much the coin will cost and what the handling charges will be? Quote
+PaHawkeye Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 That stinks. That's a cool coin but I am leaving shortly for my first APE cache and caching in DC and a free hockey game. I guess I will take the icon instead of the coin. Now if someone wants to get two and prearrange a trade with me that would be great! My list is on thecachingplace . Going APE! Quote

Parrolet Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Will this coin be trackable on gc.com? Is this a personal coin? Quote
+mtn-man Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Sounds like a personal coin. I beleive this is the official UK Geocoin. http://geocoins.co.uk/ Quote
+AtlantaGal Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Sounds like a... Ha, I love that picture of The Puppy Monster! Where did you get him in the snow? It couldn't have been here! Quote
Parrolet Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 wykenwizard The coin is the first of a series I intend to do featuring England and the English counties. The second will feature William Shakespeare and his birthplace, Stratford upon Avon. (Warwickshire). I am sorry I don't know what limit, if any, they set on the geocachingplace website. Questions answered. Thanks Quote
+Jan and the Percey Boys Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Will this coin be trackable on gc.com? Is this a personal coin? I assume this is a personal coin as it is not a product of the english geocoin group. In fact the producer never even mentioned it to the group - although the forums have links to us Quote
+Pengy&Tigger Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) Note that this is not the official English geocoin produced by a group - The official one will be released in the next few weeks. Tigger Edit to add that the official one will be trackable with its own icon - this one is obviously a personal coin. Edited January 1, 2006 by Pengy&Tigger Quote

SlytherinAlex Posted January 1, 2006 Posted January 1, 2006 Sounds like a personal coin. I beleive this is the official UK Geocoin. http://geocoins.co.uk/ England is one constituant part of the UK. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are the other bits. I suppose that is similar to State coins within the USA, but not quite. gcCOINS will be issuing a Scotland coin in the near future. alex.

ParentsofSAM Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 OK so we ordered and paypal'd and got a receipt from paypal but then 41 minutes later we got and email from thecachingplace.com saying our order is cancelled......what's up with that? I had the funds to cover the $12 in my paypal account. This was our 1st time ordering through them and maybe we did something wrong, we set up an account and everything and placed the order and got the paypal receipt at 12:01 est. Has anyone else experienced this? I guess I need to get a paypal refund since the coins are sold out now. Quote

They probably sold out while you were processing the order so when you paid there were no coins left. Quote
+Night_Hawk Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 I also missed this one due to being out caching. If anyone has an extra I'd love to trade for one. Thanks My Trading List Quote

+Kealia Posted January 2, 2006 Posted January 2, 2006 So why was this posted as an "English Geocoin" when it's a personal coin? Seems just like the "San Francisco" coin. I'm sure it would have sold just as quickly if listed as a personal coin, so why the subterfuge? Quote
